Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] GNU Radio installation script

[James Humphries]

You can try to run again as:

./build-gnuradio -v

That will output a bunch of extra info. Hopefully it will show error why build failed.

As an alternative, you could try pybombs.

http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/pybombs/wiki/QuickStart

Just run these commands:

git clone git://github.com/pybombs/pybombs
cd pybombs
./pybombs install gnuradio

That will install uhd and gnuradio (among some other things) and it could take a few hours. Just make sure you follow directions on the site to setup the environment correctly after it (hopefully) completes.
