Installing gr-ettus (rfnoc) using PYBOMBS has error in gnuradio install

[mgarrett1955]

Trying to install a clean RFNOC system on Ubuntu 18.4

I believe that the PYBOMBS script is pulling the gnuradio 3.8 branch down, which fails in the install phase with the following error.

(This is the SAME error that one gets when installing gnuradio 3.8 from Pybombs, which I have posted to the pybombs issue list)

I believe that RFNOC currently requires gnuradio 3.7.

Is the version forked on this site the correct repository to install gnuradio from, or should the gnuradio maint-3.7 repository be pulled.

I believe that the fix is to update the pybombs scripts to retrieve the correct version of gnuradio maint-3.7.

hi @mgarrett1955,

Thanks for reporting this. It does seem like the PyBOMBS recipes need a little tweak. I've created a PR for that. You can have a look at it and apply this patch in the meanwhile: EttusResearch/ettus-pybombs#6

I've tested this with a freshly created prefix in Ubuntu 18LTS. Please do let us know if this helps!

I made the suggested change to rfnoc.lwr, and was able to successfully install the complete package, thank you!!

I installed it on another brand new clean Ubuntu 18.04 machine and it failed due to a missing dependancy. I fixed it by installing the Ettus dependancies listed here, which I had done on the previous install: (unfortunately I nuke the error file on the install)

The error message showed a missign "windows.h"? In an obscure file... Ill see if I can find the error log again.

So there is a missing dependancy.

Since this issue is three versions behind current GNU Radio, I'll close this. I hope the patch was a sufficient fix.
