Hello all, I’m hoping someone can provide some insight to a build problem I’m seeing. I’m building 3.3.0 to use with an Ettus R. USRP1. I’m given to understand that I need to build 3.3.0 as that was the last release which is compatible with the usrp1. I’ve gone through the dependencies and have installed them. The priority for me is getting the usrp functionality and grc built. When I do a ./configure I get these results: * * * The following GNU Radio components have been successfully configured: config gruel gnuradio-core gr-msdd6000 gr-audio-jack gr-audio-osx gr-audio-portaudio gr-atsc gr-cvsd-vocoder gr-gsm-fr-vocoder gr-noaa gr-pager gr-radio-astronomy gr-trellis gr-video-sdl gnuradio-examples docs You my now run the make command to build these components. * * * The following components were skipped either because you asked not to build them or they didn’t pass configuration checks: gcell usrp usrp2 gr-usrp gr-usrp2 gr-gcell gr-audio-alsa gr-audio-oss gr-audio-windows gr-comedi gr-gpio gr-radar-mono gr-wxgui gr-qtgui gr-sounder gr-utils grc ## These components will not be built. In the build log, I see that usb.h is not found/usable (line 337 in the pastebin listed later): checking for usb.h… no USRP requires libusb header ‘usb.h’ which was not found or was not usable. See [http://www.libusb.org](http://www.libusb.org) Unable to find dependency libusb. Libusb was installed when I installed uhd-devel @3.7.1 via port.

I still get the same results. Any input would be appreciated. The entire build log is on pastebin at: [gr330 build - Pastebin.com](http://pastebin.com/FubyMRAt) Thanks! ---

The USRP1 is perfectly functional with “modern” Gnu Radios that use UHD as the interface. ---

Getting that code to build on a newer Linux distrib may be a challenge. ---

On a modern distro, libusb is likely to be libusb-1 series, whereas this stuff was originally written for libusb-0.12 or something like that. Gnu Radio itself moved on to using CMake quite a long time ago, so there is decreasing “community memory” about how those autotool configure scripts worked…
