Building SoapySDR

Post by hfaero » Sun Apr 14, 2019 9:48 am

I have Ubuntu 18.04 on a 64bit platform (Dell Laptop) and am having a devilish of a time getting it to find my RSP2. I've followed the instructions from SDRPlay.com as far as non-Windows workflow goes but each time I build using

Code: Select all

cmake ..{/code] I get this:

Running SDRUtils --info or -probe no modules or factories are found. I don't know if the error in the above code about Pytho3InterpDbg is a red herring or significant but regardless I am totally stuck!

I've created a ticket with Support but thought I'd throw it out to the community in case anyone has come across this issue.

As a side note I can happily run gqrx with my RSP2 using the gqrx Ubuntu package, again not sure if this is an isssue but I doubt it as the gqrx application only has a gnuradio install dependency which has obviously been met for that to work.

Thanks for any help.
