A question about configuration

GNU Radio
1

Hi All,

I am new in GNU Radio, when I configure the modules of GNU Radio, I
found four of them can’t pass the configuration checks:
gr-audio-jack
gr-audio-osx
gr-audio-portaudio
gr-audio-windows

The other modules of GNU Radio are OK, I build them under FC6. I have
no idea about what are the four modules used for, does it means that I
can’t use my sound card correctly? And, my task with GNU Radio is
probably on cooperative communication, is it OK for me to work without
these two modules?

Thanks a lot,

Dong Li

You only need these modules if you plan to be using your sound card with
signal processing. The specific configuration errors might tell us more
about what problems you have compiling, but unless you’re planning on
building a sound-based application you don’t need them.

Dong Li-

I am also new in GNU Radio and I had the same four components fail the
configuration checks.

I had the same thing happen. If you need it, my config.log says that
you
must install the portaudio package.

If your OS is Linux, then the gr-audio-alsa component provides audio
output capabilities for GNU Radio.

gr-audio-jack and gr-audio-portaudio are optional output modules for
specialized audio interfaces.

gr-audio-osx and gr-audio-windows are only needed for audio output on
Mac OS/X or Microsoft Windows platforms, respectively.

So, if you see gr-audio-alsa in the ‘to be built’ list after configure,
then you are good to go.

I installed portaudio, portaudio-devel, jack-devel, and audiofile-devel
packages.
As a result, I did get gr-audio-jack to install. The other 3 still will
not
install. For ./configure issues, looking at the generated config.log
file
helps alot. In my config.log I get:

configure:32767: result: gr-audio-osx requires darwin or MacOS X.
configure:32786: checking AudioUnit/AudioUnit.h usability
configure:32803: gcc -c -g -O2 -Wall -pthread conftest.c >&5
conftest.c:134:33: error: AudioUnit/AudioUnit.h: No such file or
directory
.
.
configure:32932: result: gr-audio-osx requires AudioUnit/AudioUnit.h,
which
is available on MacOS X.
configure:32954: checking AudioToolbox/AudioToolbox.h usability
configure:32971: gcc -c -g -O2 -Wall -pthread conftest.c >&5
conftest.c:134:39: error: AudioToolbox/AudioToolbox.h: No such file or
directory

So far I cannot find an AudioUnit or AudioToolbox or any packages that
will
help. Maybe because of the MacOS X comment?
