[Discuss-gnuradio] gr-doa installation problem

[Halit Bugra Tulay]

Hello everyone,

I m having trouble installing gr-doa. According to its github page(https://github.com/EttusResearch/gr-doa), it asks for the followings :

Basic Dependencies

• UHD >= 3.10.1.0
• gnuradio >= 3.7.10.1
• armadillo >= 7.300

Dependencies Needed for QA Testing

• octave (Tested 4.0.2)
• octave-signal (Tested 1.3.2)
• scipy (Tested 0.15.1)
• oct2py (Tested 3.5.9)

Dependencies Needed for Doc

• texlive-latex-base

 
I have Ubuntu 16.04 with UHD 3.11.0 and gnuradio 3.7.12 . I have also installed armadillo 8.300.2 using the package on their page. I have installed octave,octave-signal and scipy using Synaptic package manager and also installed oct2py using pip. I think they suffice basic dependencies and test dependencies.

First I have tried to install gr-doa via pybombs by adding gr-etcetera as recipes. After installation, I have tested it by running 'make test' but all tests are failed,also I couldn't see grc files in gnuradio. After this attempt, I have tried to follow steps described on their github page. When I run cmake.. I got the following errors

CMake Warning (dev) at cmake/Modules/GrTest.cmake:45 (get_target_property):

  Policy CMP0045 is not set: Error on non-existent target in

  get_target_property.  Run "cmake --help-policy CMP0045" for policy details.

  Use the cmake_policy command to set the policy and suppress this warning

get_target_property() called with non-existent target "/usr/bin/python2".

Call Stack (most recent call first):

  python/CMakeLists.txt:50 (GR_ADD_TEST)

This warning is for project developers.  Use -Wno-dev to suppress it.

CMake Warning (dev) at cmake/Modules/GrTest.cmake:45 (get_target_property):

  Policy CMP0026 is not set: Disallow use of the LOCATION target property.

  Run "cmake --help-policy CMP0026" for policy details.  Use the cmake_policy

  command to set the policy and suppress this warning.

  The LOCATION property should not be read from target "gnuradio-doa".  Use

  the target name directly with add_custom_command, or use the generator

  _expression_ $<TARGET_FILE>, as appropriate.

I avoid these errors by adding cmake_policy(SET CMP0026 OLD), cmake_policy(SET CMP0045 OLD) to the cmakelists.txt and repeated the steps from the beginning.(I removed the build file first). The result was the same with the previous one, all tests are failed. Do you have any idea about this?

I am new to gnuradio, I might have done something wrong. I really appreciate if you help me install gr-doa.
