CHART on Mac OSX?

[adampbeardsley]

I'm going to try installing the chart software on my mac and see what the limiting factors are.

Starting here:
https://wiki.gnuradio.org/index.php/MacInstall#Installing_GNU_Radio_on_MacOS_X_.2F_macOS

Need macports:
https://www.macports.org/install.php
Which also needs mac's command line tools. I already had them installed, but it complained about not finding the version so I had to reinstall.
https://trac.macports.org/wiki/ProblemHotlist#reinstall-clt

Ok, now that I have CLT and macports installed, trying to install gnuradio again.
Seems to be working...
This takes a really long time. I'm wondering if I should have installed it in a python environment... it's installing pythony things.

Next, osmosdr:
sudo port install gr-osmosdr

Hey! the gnu-radio companion seems to work:

Final note for now, in order to tune into AM frequencies (or anything below 24MHz), you need to switch to direct sampling mode. To do this in gnuradio-companion, you set Device Arguments in the RTL-SDR source block to:
rtl=0,direct_samp=2

Wouldn't it be more efficient to dockerize this app, so it runs anywhere?
(Well runs anywhere docker is installed)

One could run it on Windows, Mac, Linux, cloud providers, etc ...
