Hello all,  
I have installed gnuradio using build-gnuradio. How do I go about gr-drm  
or  
another project that is not there by detault?  
If i use pybombs, it brings in source code for all the dependencies. Is  
this the right way to bring in gr-drm?  
thanks  
Rachel

“Right” is whatever makes your life easy. You could only ever install  
out-of-tree modules into ~/.gnuradio. You could only ever use modules  
available in binary packages… Why not try pybombs instead? If you’re  
careful about how you set up your sources, you can probably install  
everything from binary packages and just build the extra pieces you  
need.

gr-drm is already available through pybombs, so it should be a snap to  
install - if it doesn’t work, please file a bug.

I’d suggest using ~/gnuradio-pybombs/ as your install target; that’ll  
make  
it easier to upgrade your custom modules and tell gnuradio which module  
to  
use in case of naming conflicts.
