Old Ubuntu Deps

Xenial Xerus (16.04)
Building GNU Radio 3.8.x is difficult on Ubuntu 16.04 due to various dependency issues (especially due to CMake and Python versions). Please consider using GNU Radio 3.7.x instead.

For GNU Radio 3.7.x:

sudo apt-get -y install git-core cmake g++ python-dev swig \ pkg-config libfftw3-dev libboost-all-dev libcppunit-dev libgsl0-dev \ libusb-dev libsdl1.2-dev python-wxgtk3.0 python-numpy \ python-cheetah python-lxml doxygen libxi-dev python-sip \ libqt4-opengl-dev libqwt-dev libfontconfig1-dev libxrender-dev \ python-sip python-sip-dev python-qt4 python-sphinx libusb-1.0-0-dev \ libcomedi-dev libzmq-dev

sudo apt-get -y install git-core cmake g++ python-dev swig \ pkg-config libfftw3-dev libboost1.55-all-dev libcppunit-dev libgsl0-dev \ libusb-dev libsdl1.2-dev python-wxgtk2.8 python-numpy \ python-cheetah python-lxml doxygen libxi-dev python-sip \ libqt4-opengl-dev libqwt-dev libfontconfig1-dev libxrender-dev \ python-sip python-sip-dev Then set the following environmental variable to use PyQT:

export PYTHONPATH=/opt/qt/lib/python2.7/dist-package

Saucy Salamander (13.10)
Saucy Salamander has a particular problem with PyQT and PyQWT. First, apt-get the following packages to get start. We will then manually build and install PyQT and PyQWT to get around the issue.

sudo apt-get -y install git-core cmake g++ python-dev swig \ pkg-config libfftw3-dev libboost1.53-all-dev libcppunit-dev libgsl0-dev \ libusb-dev libsdl1.2-dev python-wxgtk2.8 python-numpy \ python-cheetah python-lxml doxygen libxi-dev python-sip \ libqt4-opengl-dev libqwt-dev libfontconfig1-dev libxrender-dev \ libgruel3.6.1

If you have PyQWT installed already, remove it:

Make sure SIP is installed:

We'll set up a separate directory to install into to make it keep it nicely separated from anything else (in case Ubuntu fixes this problem).

First, set up your environment

Edit ./bashrc by adding or amending the following variables:

export PATH=/opt/qt/bin:$PATH export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/qt/lib:/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH export PYTHONPATH=/opt/qt/lib/python2.7/dist-packages:$PYTHONPATH export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/qt/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH Either restart the terminal or reset your environment:

Download and install PyQt version 4.10.3

http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/software/pyqt/download

$ tar xzf PyQt-x11-gpl-4.10.3.tar.gz  $ cd PyQt-x11-gpl-4.10.3 $ python configure.py -b /opt/qt/bin -d /opt/qt/lib/python2.7/dist-packages -v /opt/qt/share/sip $ make $ sudo make install Download and install PyQWT version 5.2.0

http://pyqwt.sourceforge.net/download.html

$ tar xzf PyQwt-5.2.0.tar.gz  $ cd PyQwt-5.2.0/configure $ ./configure.py -Q ../qwt-5.2 --module-install-path=/opt/qt/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PyQt4/Qwt5 $ make $ sudo make install If you've already built GNU Radio, first delete CMakeCache.txt in the top build directory. You should then only have to 'make clean' in gr-qtgui.

Run cmake and make like you would normally. With the environmental variables pointing to the new PyQT and PyQWT versions we've installed all gr-qtui displays and widgets should work properly now.

Note: At release, Ubuntu defaults the 'libboost-all-dev' package to libboost-*.49, which is incompatible with GNURadio. Thus, until the Ubuntu default Boost install catches up, you must manually specify 'libboost1.53-all-dev'.
