Hi all, I picekd up GNU Radio again and tried to get a simple plain C++ project working, but no success… Details below, hopefully somebody can set my nose in the right direction. # What I want to do I want to do some C++ coding outside Companion, so I have C++ with code like: * * * ## int main() … gr::top\_block\_sptr tb = gr::make\_top\_block(“USRP\_framework”); … gr::uhd::usrp\_source::sptr usrp\_source = gr::uhd::usrp\_source::make(device\_addr, uhd::stream\_args\_t(“fc32”)); … tb-\>connect(usrp\_source, 0, custom\_processor, 0); … So I want to use the GNU radio framework, and also have direct control over the USRP. I use a very simple and dirty makefile, to keep as much complexity out of this, the goal is just to get it working: * * * CC = g++ LIB = -lglut -lGLU -lGL -lgnuradio-blocks -lgnuradio-fft -lgnuradio-pmt -lgnuradio-runtime -lgnuradio-uhd -lboost\_system -lboost\_thread -luhd INCDIR = -I matplotpp ALIB = matplotpp/matplotpp.a USRP\_framework: USRP\_framework.cc ``` $(CC) $(INCDIR) -o USRP_framework USRP_framework.cc $(ALIB) $(LIB) ``` * * * My intiial steps: 1. I made a fresh Ubuntu install 2. installed git 3. got PyBombs 4. installed GNUradio using PyBombs. As far as I can see, it also installed UHD directly since it moved in PyBombs to ‘installed hardware apps’ and cannot be chosen to install anymore. No problems thusfar. # What went wrong during ‘make’ 1. The GNU-radio includes were not found, so I installed gnuradio-dev using ‘apt-get’. 2. Then UHD includes were not found, so I filled /usr/include/uhd with the include files by hand (downloaded them). 3. Then the makefile tells me that ‘luhd’ was not found Anybody an idea what my next step should be to get this very simple framework working? If PyBombs already installed UHD, why is there no libuhd.so file on the HD? There is a libuhd.so.003 and a libuhd.so.003.005 … One of the reasons I started all over again (I had a GRC installation previously) is that a previous attempt gave me errors regarding ABI versions mismatches between GNUradio and UHD. So they should be build ‘simultaneously’ using exact the same resources I guess… Best regards, Jeroen Boschma ---

Pybombs usually installs stuff in ~/target and adds a script there called ~/target/setup\_env.sh which sets up paths. You should try running that before building gnuradio things after installing pybombs. If the includes still aren’t found try looking in ~/pybombs or ~/target for them. You should not have needed the apt-get lines after successfully installing pybombs and should probably uninstall those items. Sent from my iPhone ---

OK, I stupidly assumed things would be installed in the ‘usual’ places… After changing the makefile and modifying /etc/ld.so.conf things work good. Thanks! David Donley schreef op 2015-06-27 22:12:
