USRP working but problem with cygwin

GNU Radio
1

Finally, my USRP and gnuradio are working fine.
now, i am having bad time with installing cygwin
as my clients need the application in windows. Has
any body used cygwin for gnuradio before or is it better
to use MingW? please any body who has got some experience
on this, send me some advice.
thanks

I have been using GNU Radio on both. Instructions for installation are
given in the wiki (www.gnuradio.org/trac/wiki/WindowsInstall) . The
instructions have been tested for release 3.1.3 but will not always work
for
the svn trunk (because the code changes faster than the wiki). There
could
also be problems with changes in Cygwin components or in the libraries
that
GNU Radio depends on.

I think Cygwin is a little easier to start with, though MinGW doesn’t
change
as fast.

If you can be specific about the difficulties you are having, someone
may be
able to help.

Hi, Dear all,

I also just started to install cygwin. My first problem occurs when I
tried to install fftw-3.1.3 package, after ‘./configure --enable…’,
it says ‘no acceptable c compiler found in path’, thus I can’t
continue with the next step. Anyone has similar problems? How did u
solve this?

Thanks in advance!

Cygwin works fine. But i really think the wiki installation guide should
be
organised in a better manner. The right versions must be present with
the
cygwin setup.exe. We face problems in libtool versions and many other
packages.

In your Cygwin shell, try the command “echo $PATH”. Does the result
include
“/usr/bin”? If not, there is a problem with the way you are running
Cygwin.

Now try the command “which gcc”. Does it say “/usr/bin/gcc”? If not,
gcc
is not installed correctly.

The command “cygcheck -c” will show you what Cygwin packages are
installed.
You should see entries for gcc-core and gcc-g++.

Hi, Don,

Many thanks for you reply! I’ve installed gcc, my problem now is that
‘make: command not found’, do you have any idea on how to solve this?

Yes. You need to install all of the Cygwin packages listed in
“Installing
Cygwin packages” on
http://www.gnuradio.org/trac/wiki/CygwinInstallMain.
