GnuRadio on HPPA

[geoff]

Hi Guys,
does anybody on the list know of a successful build and installation
of
GnuRadio on the HPPA architecture? (Debian 4.0). If it turns out that it
hasn’t been done I’ll post the details of my failures (mustn’t
clutter
the list )

Cheers, Geoff.

You may be able to get it to compile, but I don’t think the vmcircbuf
stuff (circular buffer via MMU trick) will work on HPPA because of
its use of virtual mapped caches (unless they stopped using virtual
mapped caches while I wasn’t paying attention).

No need to send the error messages then, that is exactly where it is
falling
over . “./configure” and “make” work OK but but “make check” falls
over
on the vmcircbuf stuff. Any ideas on how to get around this guys? My
hppa box
stikes me as the sort of very robust box that will go for ever :-).
Unfortunately I am a pretty useless code cutter and I’m not much better
at
reading it . Things like grc are what will save me here.

Cheers, Geoff.

There’s no easy way to fix this for HPPA.

May I suggest a nice Core 2 Duo or Quad?
