Re: GNU Radio Using MacPorts

GNU Radio

I also got the port to work, though it took some doing.

$ sudo port install gnuradio

didn’t work, though I then learned about variants.

$ sudo port install gnuradio +grc +python27 +uhd +orc +swig

worked but the gui wasn’t installed, so I didn’t have much luck with
grc.
Going to

$ sudo port install gnuradio +wxgui

immediately after didn’t work, which I assume is because I don’t know
anything about variants.

after deleting everything and reinstalling, neither

$ sudo port install gnuradio +full
$ sudo port install gnuradio +python27 +full

worked. I don’t know why

and

$ sudo port install gnuradio +grc +jack +orc +portaudio +python27 +qtgui
+sdl +swig +uhd +wavelet +wxgui

appeared to work all the way.

I am running 10.8.2 on a MacBook Air, MacPorts 2.1.2

Hi Scott (and, anyone else trying this build using MacPorts): If you
have log files for any of these efforts, send them to me with the
command line you used that created them. That way I can try to make
these ports even more robust; and / or help you figure out what’s going
on with your system. That said, I’m glad you figured out some set of
variants that worked for you. - MLD

Keep the log files… good advice. Wish I had thought of that before I
nuked them. Sometimes I get in a rush to “get things done” and I forget
little things like that. I have two more machines to try the port on, if
I
run into trouble I will post for those. Neither is running 10.8.2
though.

I’m also running into difficulty installing on 10.8. I’ve recently
upgraded from 10.5 and finally got everything else in MacPorts updated.
I made sure that cmake is current (2.8.9). I’ve tried a handful of
variations on the install command, including “sudo port install
gnuradio”, “sudo port install gnuradio +full”, “… +full +python27”,
and “sudo port install gnuradio +grc +jack +orc +portaudio +python27
+qtgui +sdl +swig +uhd +wavelet +wxgui”. The attached log file is from
running “sudo port install gnuradio”.

System background: 2009 MacBook Pro, running 10.8.2. XCode version is
4.5.2. MacPorts version is 2.1.2.

I can’t really get much of an idea about how to proceed from the log
file. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Jeremy
