Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Fw: pybombs-gnuradio-install-missing files
I am slowly getting to know the 'pybombs' handling I think, lot of guessing and trail and error.

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Fw: pybombs-gnuradio-install-missing files
Have now installed a new KDE64 in a new partition. When installing using src only option, the install insists on fetching Python 2.6. No change from my earlier testing.

Tom - PyBOMBS GNU Radio Build Quick Start¶You can opt to just use the source, 'src', install and build everything from source. I selected to install from src only, my interpretation of above is that this would bypass PCLinuxOS already installed files even if they were acceptable for use in PyBOMBS (of course taking extra time) is this correct? Or is that only part true? PCLinuxOS is rpm/Synaptic based, I have also tried install with options: rpm,src but that failed in grander style so I soon changed to src only as a safer starting point. In the next day or two I will have new partition installed with fresh KDE64 install and try again. I have the liveDVD part installed but need a bit 1 GB update to bring it to todays date should be done the coming day with PyBOMBS attempt 1 day later. h. ___ Discuss-gnuradio mailing list Discuss-gnuradio@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnuradio
Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Fw: pybombs-gnuradio-install-missing files
Thank you for replying Tom, I seem to be struggling to get my replies to reach the discuss-gnuradio@gnu.org but this time I think and hope for the best. 1.. You guessed right about PCLinuxOS, I do want to use that, been a user for about 10 years, but as far as compiling I have very little experience. I understand the principle but when it comes down to details it is a struggle. I try to stay away unless I get really enthusiastic. Gnuradio too fascinating so by hook or by crook I will try something and experiment. 2.. I did not realise that Python 2.6 is outdated, but your mention made me check this laptos current version and it is (this just confirming that this PCLinuxOS version is also using later version than 2.6): [gert@KDE64-tecra-A11 ~]$ python -V Python 2.7.9 [gert@KDE64-tecra-A11 ~]$ Also I can confirm that by inspection in my sandbox I see Python 2.6.4 3.. I mentioned I had a record of my attempts to use pybombs, and it seems very early in my experience I have had no trouble with Python installing from source. The Python 2.6 is instatlled by pybombs install, here is the section: Installing from source: python --2015-06-11 18:43:40-- http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.6.4/Python-2.6.4.tar.bz2 Resolving www.python.org (www.python.org)... 103.245.222.223 Connecting to www.python.org (www.python.org)|103.245.222.223|:80... connected.

Does that not mean in this case that pybombs want Python 2.6.4? Further my interpretation in above is that a version has been retrieved from www.python.org? Does this mean that my PCLinuxOS version somehow has a say in what Python version is acceptable to pybombs? I think I will see if I can set up a completely new partition with KDE64 and start all over again.

[Discuss-gnuradio] Attempting gnuradio build on PCLinuxOS64 - fails
This is my first posting to the mailing list, my apology for it being a bit on the long side and yet perhaps short of vital information. Despite the length my understanding is that for somebody with more experience than I will have no trouble just skimming through and pick up some vital clues that is lost on me. Compiling is not my strong side and I am a beginner as far as details on getting gnuradio working to any extent. The distrobution does have a gnuradio-3.6.4 available and I have practiced getting to know gnuradio companion. I got interested in a more ambitious attempt to get gqrx running and figured that a 'pybombs' instance would be worth trying, the attraction of the recipes was to enticing. I realised eventually that 'pybombs' has troubles of sorts when using it in PCLinuxOS. From what I can see the process runs but and eventually returns to command prompt after what I have figured, installed 3 and a bit programs. The configurations stage I believe I survived by choosing almost default, exept I have selected from: src only because of using another linux than the ones 'pybombs' are built on?? Then the following happens: [gert@KDE64-tecra-A11 pybombs]$ ./pybombs install gnuradio Settled on prefix: /home/gert/gr-sandbox/target Initializing environmental variables... no existing inventory found, creating an empty one... value updated False None Loading recipes ... /home/gert/gr-sandbox/target Installing packages: * make * python * libbzip * boost * fftw * cppunit * swig * gsl * libusb * numpy * uhd * alsa * glib * libtiff * libpng * libjpeg * gdk-pixbuf * atk * freetype * fontconfig * pixman * x11 * cairo * pango * gtk2 * wxpython * pygobject * pygtk * pycairo * sip * qt4 * pyqt4 * qwt5 * pyqwt5 * gnuradio I have only shown this section which raises questions in my mind that perhaps I don't understand what is happening. 1.. From above I understand that I have set up my 'sandbox' from the 'sandbox' calling for gnuradio to be installed. As the process gets under way I am given a bonus in the form of the 'recipes' being installed, saving me the step to load them later. 2.. A considerable list of programs that will be installed. The first 3 programs are installed, I have seen them in the 'sandbox' instance again and again (have tried quite a number of variations such as deb,src and rpm,src (as for some other non gr programs I have had success). The fourth program 'boost' seems to get under way but then program returns to command program with no error messages.
