Gnuradio & USRP with OpenBSD anyone?

GNU Radio
1

Hello list,

Has anyone managed to build gnuradio under OpenBSD?

Are you running a Universal Software Radio Peripheral (USRP) under
OpenBSD?

I am attempting to build gnuradio in OpenBSD i386-current (4.3-beta
snapshot), but still struggling. I have no USRP hardware yet to test
with, but considering to purchase one now, also to take advantage of the
favourable exchange rate CHF/USD.

Thanks,
Rolf

GNU Radio builds fine on NetBSD, and only minor fixes were needed to get
it to that point. So it shouldn’t be that hard to make it work on
OpenBSD. I realize you are probably using OpenBSD ports and not pkgsrc,
but there is a pkg_chk.conf file in the root directory of gnuradio that
lists what is required - not sure if you’re having trouble with prereqs
or the actual build.

NetBSD 4 and current has improvements to ugen(4) that greatly improve
performance. You may wish to port these to OpenBSD if you’re going to
use a USRP.

I would recommend that you start with the head from svn, and either run
README.components (after reading it!) or try a regular build.
