Hello all,

I have a gr module that was built using GNURadio 3.3.0. I have to run it  
and experiment with it. I am facing the following problems.

_PS : GNURadio 3.3.0 had a different architecture, which was  
gnuradio-core,  
but now with the latest versions, the architecture of GNURadio is  
changed  
and older modules no longer can be run with the latest versions of  
GNURadio._

1. I tried to install GNURadio 3.3.0 on Ubuntu 12.04 and 14.04, but the  
installation fails with errors
2. I tried porting the code from GNURadio 3.3.0 to the latest GNURadio  
3.7.3, which is a very tideous process and the module is quite huge and  
have to test each block step by step ( I do not have that much time) .

Was hoping to run GNURadio version that can install and test the module

So,

1. How can i install GNURadio 3.3.0 on my system. Which OS should I use?
2. If so, are there any successful links which guide in installation.
3. Are there any OS which comes with GNURadio 3.3.0 inbuilt ?
4. Can i run this module in any version which supports gnuradio-core  
style  
of architecture? If so, which?

Regards,  
Sagar

Sagar,

Taking a look in the git history for the v3.3.0 tag, this was authored  
on  
June 2, 2010. Your best bet would probably be to install an OS version  
that corresponds to this date. Ubuntu 10.04 would probably be my  
suggestion.

As far as documentation, I know there have been a lot of updates  
recently  
to documentation, I do now know if any of the older docs have been  
retained  
nor where you could find them. Perhaps somebody else in the list can  
point  
you to them.

Also (and sorry to be so blunt), don’t expect much help on this list.  
This release is four years old, has a different build system and all. It  
worked at some point in time, so if you can get an old system, it should  
work. But if you run into some version-specific issues, you might be on  
your own (and at that point, you should re-evaluate if you want to port  
to 3.7.3 after all).
