Hi –

I’ve used pybombs to install gnuradio et al using the default ~/pybombs  
and ~/targets directory structure.

Now I need to add an OOT that is not available through pybombs. I’ve  
tried guessing where to put the directory and how to compile, but I get  
all sorts of errors.

I can’t find anything via Google about how to manually install into a  
pybombs system. Can someone point me to directions?

Thanks!

John

Two things you could try:

1. Copy a recipe for a similar sort of module, make a few changes to  
create a build recipe for the desired module, and submit it to  
pybombs, or
2. Try set some environment variables by hand. This worked for me:  
git clone [GitHub - bistromath/gr-rtty: RTTY decoder for Gnuradio · GitHub](https://github.com/bistromath/gr-rtty.git)  
mkdir gr-rtty/build  
cd gr-rtty/build  
env PKG\_CONFIG\_PATH=/home/gnuradio/lib/pkgconfig  
CMAKE\_PREFIX\_PATH=/home/gnuradio/lib/cmake/gnuradio ccmake .. # or  
wherever you installed gnuradio

Posting a log of build failures would be handy.

–  
GDB has a ‘break’ feature; why doesn’t it have ‘fix’ too?

For most things, you just need to set all the include- and library paths  
accordingly. If you have the env correctly set up, CMake might even pick  
those up.
