Re: [announcement] Release 3.9.0.0

[Gavin Jacobs]

Barry,

Thanks for the advice. I tried that, but it didn't work. I get numerous errors during the cmake stage. Here is an excerpt of the output where the errors start:

< ... several hundred lines of progress messages >

-- Using install prefix: /usr/local

-- Building for version: 3.9.0.0 / 3.9.0

-- Configuring done

CMake Error in gnuradio-runtime/lib/CMakeLists.txt:

  Imported target "Boost::unit_test_framework" includes non-existent path

    "/include"

  in its INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES.  Possible reasons include:

I assume this has been done by numerous others, so I'm guessing that it's one of these possibilities:

• problem with Ubuntu 20.04.1
• missing an undocumented prerequisite or dependancy
• missing step in the documentation/procedure

If you know what causes that, great, I'll try again; but if you don't know, just let it go. At this point I'm just going to wait until the binary package is ready. If you want someone to test that new binary package, I'm willing to do that.

My goals were to setup a 3.9 development system so I could:

• update my Stream/Select block (and a few other trivial blocks I wrote)
  
• develop a new block to decode railway DPU transmissions
• develop a proper sink/source block for the Hackrf

None of these are urgent, so I can wait until the install kinks get worked out. I'm willing to help test, but I don't know how to debug cmake, so I would need some training/guidance to be of any use with that.

Gavin

Hi Gavin,

There will be a ppa:gnuradio/gnuradio-releases-3.9 but it's not ready yet.

If you want to build 3.9 from source, follow
https://wiki.gnuradio.org/index.php/InstallingGR#From_Source but in
https://wiki.gnuradio.org/index.php/InstallingGR#Step_3:_Installing_GNU_Radio
after "cd gnuradio" do a "git checkout maint-3.9" before the "mkdir
build" so that you have a stable version 3.9.0.0

Will the 3.9.0.0 release be available via:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnuradio/gnuradio-releases

If so, what is the expected timeframe?
If not, can someone give the right procedure to install on Ubuntu?

Thanks,
Gavin
