Install old version of gnuradio

Hi everybody,

Is it possible to install an old version of GNURadio? Like version 3.3
or
3.4?
If yes, how is possible?
Because apt-get install and the automatic script install the version.

Thank you a lot!

Loic.

Hey Loic,

yes, you can download an old release here:
http://gnuradio.org/releases/gnuradio/

I installed 3.3.0. My steps:

  • I saved the file in my download directory.
  • extracted it with file-roller in my chosen directory (e.g. /etc/)
  • build it, install it and run it. :wink:

have a nice day.

Regards
Ellen

Do you mean ‘possible’ or ‘useful’? If the only reason you want 3.3 is
because you can apt-get install, I heavily recommend you don’t do
that, but use the build-gnuradio script. It’s really, really simple.

If, like Ellen, you need a specific reason of GNU Radio for some reason,
then she’s already pointed out all you need.

Hi Ellen,

Thank you for your faster answer!
I just need to do that? So in my directory i need use the command:

./bootstrap
./configure
make -j5
make install

And all will works?

Btw if i need to use UHD, can i use the last version of UHD with the
version GNURadio3.3 and 3.4?

Again thank you for your time!

Hey Loic,

when you install GNU Radio be sure that you made Prerequirements.

I did

apt-get -y install libfontconfig1-dev libxrender-dev libpulse-dev swig g++
automake autoconf python-dev libfftw3-dev libcppunit-dev libboost-all-dev
libusb-dev fort77 sdcc sdcc-libraries libsdl1.2-dev python-wxgtk2.8
git-core guile-1.8-dev libqt4-dev python-numpy ccache python-opengl
libgsl0-dev python-cheetah python-lxml doxygen qt4-dev-tools
libqwt5-qt4-dev libqwtplot3d-qt4-dev pyqt4-dev-tools python-qwt5-qt4

before I installed GNU Radio. You have to know which of them you need
for
your installation so there are no errors.

I installed GNU Radio for USRP1 with this:

./configure --disable-all-components --enable-usrp enable-gruel

make all
make
make check
make install
ldconfig

and all works without errors. (But I have an error if I want to start
usrp_fft.py since
I installed GR3.5, deleted it and installed GR3.3. But this is my
mistake
and not an issue
from GNU Radio or Python.)

The Version from GNU Radio is important if you want to work with the
USRP1
because since GR3.5 they stopped the support for it. But I think if you
have to use
UHD you won’t work with the USRP1 (because with it UHD isn’t needed) so
you
can
choose a newer version from GR and if you are ubuntu user you could use
the building-script [1] which is very easy to install (including UHD,
GRC
and all what
you need).
Really, I can recommend GR3.5 and using the building script if you don’t
need an older version.
As I installed it there were no problems and as I started GRC it worked
fine.

Remember: If you want to use GNU Radio with UHD you have to install UHD
first.

I’m also new with GNU Radio so I don’t know your error message but it
shows
that
you have an error with Python. Are you working with Ubuntu? Which
version do
you use? And can you see which version you have from Python?

Regards
Ellen
