DAB recipes to install Opendigitalradio and related tools with PyBOMBS (Python Build Overlay Managed Bundle System)

The ODR suite was awkward to compile or rebuild by hand and PyBOMBS seemed to be capable of doing the required buildchain work.

In addition PyBOMBS compiles UHD for which is used by odr-dabmod and rtl-sdr by dabtools.

This repo provides a less manual way of compiling the following applications, so far:

• odr-dabmux
• odr-dabmod
• odr-audioenc
• odr-padenc
• etisnoop
• dabtools
• dablin
• fdk-aac
• ka9q-fec
• eti-tools
