Kyle Keen does GR+friends packaging for Arch/ALARM, and may have some insights.
I've never tried to run build-gnuradio on ARM platforms, because the flags required vary from platform to platform, and not that many beginners are doing this for ARM platforms. YMMV, etc, etc.

Dear Owen, I'd say the fact that you quickly eat up all your RAM is the best indication for it possibly being a good idea to cross-build for the Odroid on a PC. I've never actually did a cross-compilation for CentOS or Fedora packages (just for the same architecture), but that might just be the way to go: Get a .spec file for GNU Radio on x86_64, adjust it as necessary, and use it to build stuff for the C2. As said, I've never done this myself, though. Best regards, Marcus On 04/28/2016 06:13 PM, Lamar Owen wrote:
I have been successful in getting CentOS 7 onto an ODroid C2. This is
the AArch64 version; armv8, 64-bit.
I did run into a bug in build-gnuradio, however. The logic that
determines the release number for CentOS/RHEL/SL 6 is flawed. The
logic looks for the pattern '*elease*6*' in /etc/redhat-release;
however, on the CentOS 7 AArch64 version, here's what is in that file:
[address@hidden ~]$ cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS Linux release 7.2.1603 (AltArch)
[address@hidden ~]$
This incorrectly drives the script to try the prereqs for
CentOS/RHEL//SL 6 instead of 7. Changing the test to '*elease*6.*'
fixes it.
I don't quite have a full GUI build of GNURadio yet since I've been
hand-building the EPEL dependencies one by one, and now I have another
list of deps to build..... (There is no EPEL for CentOS7 on any arm,
32 or 64-bit, yet). The build, not counting GRC and a few other GUI
modules, takes over 6 and a half hours on the C2 and eats swap for
lunch (a couple of the wrapper files need >2GB of virt during the
build, and the C2 only has 2GB of RAM).
I'll give a fuller report once I have a successful GUI build, and/or
when EPEL is available for AArch64......
