All,
To celebrate the release of GR 3.9, I'm releasing a Python3-based Windows Installer for GR 3.8.2* !
This uses vcpkg to build (nearly*) all the C++ dependencies, and as mentioned in an earlier email, uses standard pip with Python 3.9 to install the GR python dependencies as well.
It includes several commonly used SDR drivers; UHD, rtl-sdr, SoapySDR, HackRF, BladeRF, and airspy, with most wrapped in the gr-osmosdr package.
In addition it includes the popular gqrx application and the gr-fosphor blocks.
As with previous installers, gr-3.7 and gr-3.8 can be installed side by side, and the same will apply to gr-3.9 when released.
*Caveats: Technically it's not the 3.8.2 release, it's the head of maint-3.8 to include several important fixes.
Also, vcpkg worked fine, except for gobject-introspection. While I have a solid idea what the problem is, it wasn't worth delaying the release so did a bit of manual magic outside the scripts to get gtk properly copied over.
Known Bugs: flowgraphs that include a gr-fosphor sink crash on when the flowgraph is closed.
Enjoy! Now that a GR 3.9 release is out and the scripts have been updated, expect a GR 3.9 installer soon (or at least a minimum pull requests submitted...)
