I have a Mint Box mini pc with OS v.19 cinamon. I'm trying to install gnuradio + uhd. I did the following:

udo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Note: 
I encountered a gconf2 error while installing some packages. So, the solution is:
sudo dpkg --configure -a

then:

sudo apt-get upgrade



Install Dependencies
Bionic Beaver (18.04)


sudo apt install git cmake g++ libboost-all-dev libgmp-dev swig python3-numpy \
python3-mako python3-sphinx python3-lxml doxygen libfftw3-dev libcomedi-dev \
libsdl1.2-dev libgsl-dev libqwt-qt5-dev libqt5opengl5-dev python3-pyqt5 \
liblog4cpp5-dev libzmq3-dev python3-yaml 

git clone --recursive https://github.com/gnuradio/gnuradio.git

or

git clone --recursive git@github.com:gnuradio/gnuradio.git

Configure and build GNU Radio:

cd gnuradio
mkdir build
cd build

and when I tried the:

cmake ../

I got this issue:

See also "/home/fit-pc/gnuradio/build/CMakeFiles/CMakeError.log".

Honestly, I can't understand what is causing this error! I tried to google this error but didn't find any guidance. I even found hard to tell what is really the error!

Any help is highly appreciated.

  • As said before, you **shouldn't** be builing GNU Radio from source, but just install it using `apt install gnuradio`, done. – Marcus Müller Jun 29 '19 at 11:51
  • @MarcusMüller, I tried that before and got errors that i posted here and I was advised to build from the source here then I got the problem above!!! So frustrating and so confusing and such a waste of time and efforts!!! And what makes it more frustrating is the Down-Vote that I got for this posting at the time I am waiting for help and solution, what a frustrating experience!!! – Hadad Jun 29 '19 at 16:44
  • If you have previous posts that explain what you're doing, always try to link to them, so that we understand why you're doing what. In any case: I'm the GNU Radio maintainer. Unless you want to *modify* GNU Radio, you should NOT be building from source. – Marcus Müller Jun 30 '19 at 10:51
  • Glad to hear that! Still, you really shouldn't have run into any problems using the binary installation; PyBOMBS hopefully is really what you need, and not another complication. – Marcus Müller Jun 30 '19 at 14:10
  • @MarcusMüller, I appreciate your patience. In this case, after many failures in setting up a real working gnuradio+uhd-usrp software, please, do me a big favor and provide me with a reliable link to some clear instructions webpage or paper on how to set up a working gnuradio+uhd-usrp. Every time I install something and I get excited and think that this is it then quickly I get shocked with another error or some problem (especially the missing blocks annoying problem)... – Hadad Jun 30 '19 at 14:41
  • `apt install gnuradio` definitely installs a working GNU Radio, with UHD dependency, which allows you to use USRPs, under Mint19. I don't really have any better website, because that's just how you install software under Mint. Most people that run into problems with such installations have some half-complete source installation, a binary installation and manually copied files from *somewhere* mixed up. – Marcus Müller Jun 30 '19 at 14:50

This fixed it for me: https://wiki.gnuradio.org/index.php/ModtoolArchitecture (install instructions)

This thread was the first one I got for the same search, so it might be something recent, installing it on the new 18.04 Ubuntu box gave me the same error and got fixed with this (as per link abocve):

$ pip3 install click
