Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Successful installation of GNURadio 3.6.4.1 on Window XP and Windows 8

2017-07-06 Thread Geof Nieboer 
I have built windows installers for gnuradio that have been available for a
bit over a year.  They include 3.7.11.1 and just last week updated them to
version 1.3,  and include a wide variety of drivers and packages all
purpose built for windows 10 64-bit.

Hopefully that will save you some trouble.  They are located at:

I've been out of touch with this work for some years, but find that many
are still searching for the drivers referred to in this guide. As a help to
all, I've uploaded all these drivers to a shared folder on Google Drive
here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Byk3JPiq4KUKY3B1enR6djAyX1k

I hope this will remain as an active archive for many years to come, even

If I can make time, I hope someday to update these instructions for working
under Windows 10 -- if it has not already been done by then! :)

2014-10-13 Thread lookluna 
Dear Bhaskar,
I have tried to download all the modules in your post, but two modules were
still not available. These two modules are shown as following.
7. Download and install PyQwt-5.2.1-py2.7-x32-pyqt4.9.6-numpy1.7.1 from
here.
9. Download and install PyOpenGL-3.1.0a1.win32-py2.7 from here.

I found two replacements on the internet，they are shown as following.
7、PyQwt-5.2.1-py2.7-x32-pyqt4.10.4-numpy1.8.1.exe
9、PyOpenGL-3.1.0.win32-py2.7.exe

After installation, the GRC GUI can not be displayed. Do you have the
exactly same modoules?
It will be quite appreciated if you can send them to my messagebox.

Best regards.

Yes, I think having the build instructions as part of the wiki is a
good idea. I was thinking of doing so with your email, but because of
my lack of Windows foo, I thought it safer just to point to the email
thread.

The only guidelines we have with the wiki is to keep is clean and
clear. That might mean making a new page with your set of
instructions. That would also help because your new page could be
specifically tied to a version of Windows and GNU Radio that
successfully worked as opposed to claiming complete generic
compatibility.

Thanks!

 2. As an addendum to my main post, I have found that only one UHD driver
 works correctly with GRC 3.6.4.1. under Windows XP and Windows 8. And that
 is version 3.5.0 (file name uhd_003.005.000-release_Win32) available from
 here.

 I will share a more detailed update on the UHD driver compatibility and

Bhaskar,

Once again, thanks for your help. With the gnuradio.org wiki, you
know, anyone can get an account and edit the wiki, so with someone
like you who's actually been through this process, it'd be great if
you could make these changes yourself to help keep us all honest and
up to date!

Thanks!

Tom

Hi Tom,

1. Thanks for adding the link in the WindowsInstall wiki.

I note that the link has been added in the section on Building on Windows
with Native Tools where it is surely relevant for the dependencies that I
discovered.

But my instructions are intended for installing with pre-built binaries,
and are mainly aimed at users who are *not* able to build natively, and so
would never look under that section.

For such users it will be very useful if you can add a link in the
Pre-built Binaries section right where the link to the Ettus Research
site is made. It can be added as an update or a caveat to the Ettus
instructions link.

2. As an addendum to my main post, I have found that only one UHD driver
works correctly with GRC 3.6.4.1. under Windows XP and Windows 8. And that
is version 3.5.0 (file name uhd_003.005.000-release_Win32) available from
herehttp://files.ettus.com/binaries/uhd_stable/releases/uhd_003.005.000-release/uhd_003.005.000-release_Win32.exe

Bhaskar,
I followed your instructions for a Windows 7 Ultimate x64 install. 

This worked the first try. Thank you!!

I'd been following the same sort of path you did while I was on vacation,
but was trying to make from source for a x64 implementation. I had something
close, but couldn't figure out why the WX-GUI part didn't show up.

Now I'll go and uninstall the working version and try to build it from
scratch again. I've downloaded all of the x64 libraries that are the same as
the working x86 version and will try to build it again. Watch for another
note on this.

 Instructions to install GNURadio in Windows XP and Windows 8:

 For Windows XP GNURadio default directory is: C:\Program Files\gnuradio
 For Windows 8 it is: C:\Program Files (x86)\gnuradio
 For all platforms the Python default directory is: C:\Python27
 Both the GNURadio and Python directories should be non-existent. If they
 still exist, then delete them and reboot. We want as clean an install as
 possible.

 2. Download Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86) from

 to repair. If it says a later version is already installed, then accept to
