Gnu Radio on F14

GNU Radio
1

Got my F14 system together today, and build Gnu Radio, with UHD from the
latest GIT source.

It went without incident.

My new F14 machine is an x86_64 machine, an AMD Phenom X3, with 4GB of
memory.

F14 is running python2.7, so I had to update my .bashrc to reflect this.

Marcus:

I’m curious about that last statement you made, “F14 is running
python2.7, so I had to update my .bashrc to reflect this”. I might be
running Fedora 14 with GNU Radio 3.3.0 soon too, so I’m curious what you
had to change in your .bashrc file.

Also, I noticed that you did NOT use GNU Radio 3.3.0, but rather you
used the latest branch in Git. What branch specifically did you use? I
guess I will need to do the same.

Fedora 14 uses gcc version 4.5.1, right?

Thanks.

I had to change my PYTHONPATH to reflect the new version of Python:

PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages

or

PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib64/python2.7/site-packages

depending on whether you’re on a 64 or 32-bit machine.

I’ve attached a little shell script that can set the PYTHONPATH
appropriately, by finding
the appropriate bits dynamically.

I use the “next” branch, because I’m a UHD user.

Fedora 14 uses gcc version 4.5.1, right?

Yes.

Marcus:

Thanks for your help and feedback, and for the script.
I really appreciate you taking the time.

One more question: Since I am not a UHD user and I use my USRP2 with raw
Ethernet, which Git branch should I use?

Thanks again!

I built a gnuradio-3.3.0 source RPM for F14. You can download it here
http://www.umich.edu/~jagregor/gnuradio-3.3.0-1.src.rpm

Use yum-builddep gnuradio to install all of the build dependencies.

Since I haven’t set up my packages to be signed, I’m not providing
binaries. I sent this to the package maintainer, but it may never get
included in the official repos.
