I’ve just corresponded with Marcus L. about adding support for
openSUSE
12.1 in the build-gnuradio script, and he’s said
“The cmake hackery might be better placed in the Cmake rules in Gnu
Radio itself–using yet-another special recognizer for OpenSuse. I
suggest
you post to discuss-gnuradio to indicate that OpenSuse requires this
rule,
and perhaps someone (maybe Josh) will patch the Cmake rules
appropriately.”
the place to check for openSUSE 12.1 is /etc/os-release and it
contains:
NAME=opensuse
VERSION = 12.1 (Asparagus)
VERSION_ID=“12.1”
PRETTY_NAME=“openSUSE 12.1 (Asparagus) (i586)”
ID=opensuse
i used the existing build-gnuradio script as an outline for building it
manually. the individual steps were quite successful.
(add texlive-latex to the list above if you want all the gnuradio docs
to
build - latex install alone needs about 300MB of disk)
To enable building *gr-qtgui *in addition to all the rest, you have to
point cmake to the location of the qwt header files:
cmake -DQWT_INCLUDE_DIRS=/usr/include/qwt5 …/

To be clear, it’s only the
cmake stuff that I’d prefer be handled in the Gnu Radio build process
itself, rather than build-gnuradio special-casing it. We’ve done
distribution-specific “spooge” in the Cmake files a few times, and it
seems like this might be another instance of that.
The pre-requisite
support using zypper is no problem, and I already put that in that last.
But I’m waiting on opinions about the cmake flags – whether that should
be something in the gnuradio cmake files, or whether I need to
special-case it in build-gnuradio. Doing it in Gnu Radio itself means
that people doing manual builds will have a seamless experience.

Hi Chris,
I’m not sure I understand what rule has to be added/changed for you?
Is it just the location of the QWT header files? That’s going to be a
continuous problem since they don’t produce a package config file for
us to work off of. We’re basically left to chase down all possible
include directories where we know it exists. Also, now that QWT 6 is
out, a lot of platforms are switching to that, so if we hard code
/usr/include/qwt5, that’ll just break when OpenSUSE moves to Qwt6 and
we’ll have to write another rule.
Any advice for how to best handle this situation is appreciated. (But
getting rid of Qwt isn’t an option; it’s way too useful.)
