Compiling gnuradio with gcc-4.5

GNU Radio
1

I’ve tried to build gnuradio under debian sid, and it fails during
linking. Debian has changed the DSO linking defaults:

http://wiki.debian.org/ToolChain/DSOLinking

My first guess is, this is causing the linkage problem. Compiling with
gcc-4.4 is no option, because it will not link with libboost then.

If you have compiled with gcc-4.5 already, and found a quick fix, or no
problems, or any other outcome, please let us know?

I’ve identified the missing libraries and put them in the makefile:

gnuradio/gr-usrp/apps/Makefile:

LIBS =
//home/sim/gnuradio/gnuradio/gnuradio-core/src/lib/.libs/libgnuradio-core-3.3.1.so.0
//home/sim/gnuradio/gnuradio/usrp/host/lib/.libs/libusrp-3.3.1.so.0

I’m sure this is not the way to do it, but i’m no libtool autoconf
master, so i’m hoping for help here…

Thanks for the report! I’ll try to get a real fix in this weekend.

Perfect. Could you post a diff? So i can apply it to the local tree
here, and include it in the patch i will send to bdale for the debian
package.

After this 'fix' gnuradio compiles under debian sid with gcc-4.5

A solution somewhat higher up the automake logic:

LDADD =
$(USRP_LA)
$(GNURADIO_CORE_LA)
$(GR_USRP_LA)
$(BOOST_LDFLAGS)
$(BOOST_PROGRAM_OPTIONS_LIB)

Maybe i can paste this directly into Makefile.am. Does anybody know how
to have automake regenerate the Makefile.in / Makefile again, locally in
the directory?

Great! Thanks for tracking that down. Looks like a potentially easy
solution
to the problem.

OK, as an example of self-help: just run make.

Hello,

I am still facing the gnuradio build error. I have the new Makefile.am
under ~gr-usrp/apps/Makefile.am

But still when I run make under gr-usrp/apps/, I get the following error
:

"gnuradio/gnuradio/gnuradio-core/src/lib/.libs/libgnuradio-core.so:
undefined reference to `boost::system::get_system_category()’ "

Any idea how to fix it ?

Thanks
Kiran

Hi,

After struggling for many hours building gnuradio, I was able to finally
fix the issue.

You have change the Makefile.am under the location :
~/gnuradio/gr-usrp/apps/

##Before
LDADD =
$(BOOST_LDFLAGS)
$(BOOST_PROGRAM_OPTIONS_LIB)
$(GR_USRP_LA)

##After
LDADD =
$(GNURADIO_CORE_LA)
$(USRP_LA)
$(GR_USRP_LA)
$(BOOST_LDFLAGS)
$(BOOST_PROGRAM_OPTIONS_LIB)
$(BOOST_SYSTEM_LIB)
$(BOOST_THREAD_LIB)

If you get similar error while building gr-audio/examples/c++/, you will
have to make similar changes under the Makefile.am, something like this

##Add this in the Makefile.am

LDADD =
$(GNURADIO_CORE_LA)
$(USRP_LA)
$(GR_USRP_LA)
$(BOOST_LDFLAGS)
$(BOOST_PROGRAM_OPTIONS_LIB)
$(BOOST_SYSTEM_LIB)
$(BOOST_THREAD_LIB)

#dial_tone_LDADD = $(GNURADIO_CORE_LA) $(GR_AUDIO_LA)
dial_tone_LDADD = ${LDADD}

Thanks
Kiran
