Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Building GNU-Radio for Windows

[Richard Bell]

Hi Rowan,

Getting GNU Radio working on Windows is not elementary, as there is very little support for this. I have tried it myself in the past with no success. It is certainly possible, as people do it, but these people get it working with very little support beyond their own knowledge.

The easiest way to use GNU Radio on a Windows machine, is to use the GNU Radio Live Images to boot from either a DVD or Thumb drive (i.e. bypass Windows), which gives you Linux and a full GNU Radio install with very little work on your end and doesn't disrupt your Windows install.

If you really need GNU Radio in a Windows environment, you'll have to hope someone more knowledgeable responds, but it is certainly not elementary.

I'm sorry, this is no doubt a very elementary question. I am completely new to GNU Radio, and know little about Unix or many of the tools involved. I have tried to follow the instructions on the page http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/MingwInstallMain. While installing Boost, when I try to execute the command ./bootstrap.sh --with-toolset=mingw I get the errors:

Can someone tell me why I am getting all these "undeclared" errors, or what to do to fix them, or what to do next to find out what’s wrong?

 

Thanks - Rowan
