Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] GNURadio build swig code fail on USB

[Cinaed Simson]

It works for me - but my setup is slightly different.

I have a odroid-xu4 using emmc for the internal drive and it's running
Debian 8.8.

Ubuntu is a fork of Debian so typically (system wise) what works on
Debian should work on Ubuntu.

I started building gnuradio on a 64 GByte USB2 thumb drive plugged into
one of USB3 ports.

I killed the build after it reached 50%.

First, make sure the USB drive is mounted.

Then look at the partitions on your USB drive - they should look similar
to the following - I'm using the entire USB drive as a single partition:

address@hidden:/home/cinaed# fdisk -l /dev/sda

Disk /dev/sda: 59.2 GiB, 63518539776 bytes, 124059648 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0x00000000

Device     Boot Start       End   Sectors  Size Id Type
dev/sda1          32 124059647 124059616 59.2G 83 Linux

Make sure mounting of the USB drive is what you expect:

address@hidden:/home/cinaed# mount | grep mnt
/dev/sda1 on /mnt type ext4 (rw,relatime,data=ordered)

A make on SDCARD shouldn't impact a make on the USB drive.
