Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] PyBOMBS -R switch? was Re: Multiple errors/problems with pybombs 2.0.1 in Kubuntu 16.04

Hi Eric,

It seems all the pybombs documentation is outdated.

Uh-oh. Maybe you stumbled across pybombs1 docs? Pretty much all documentation to pybombs 2.x is under https://github.com/gnuradio/pybombs/

How can I get at least gnuradio compiled????

So, in fact, one could say, it's your local version of pybombs that needs an update, and not the website. Point is that the version that pybombs gets autonomously isn't the current "master" branch of development, but a bit older (the feature will probably appear in mainline pip's pybombs relatively soon). You'd have to go the route of updating it from git:

$ [sudo] pip install --upgrade git+https://github.com/gnuradio/pybombs.git

if you want the -R functionality. However, that really is just another convenience option of pybombs; if you just initialize a prefix, i.e.

$ pybombs prefix init name_you_can_choose /path/to/prefix

and then install the packets you need, e.g.

$ pybombs install gnuradio

 I compiled gr-op25 and had it fail during the CMake config phase because it could not find SoapySDR libraries.

I don't think gr-op25 failed during CMake configuration, as that doesn't have any interface to any hardware. It however, has gr-osmosdr in its requirements, and that can talk to soapySDR devices. Is it that which is failing?

Generally, in this kind of situation, a generous amount of logs would  probably make things easier for us to debug.
Note that it is very interesting here how and where to you've installed the soapySDR libs.

Best regards,
Marcus

Hello,

I left the -R gnuradio-default off and figured out how to get the prefix set. I compiled gr-op25 and had it fail during the CMake config phase because it could not find SoapySDR libraries. I had this error previously. I had compiled SoapySDR previously. CMake config was trying to use these libraries, but was looking in the wrong place. Once I removed the old SoapySDR source directory, gr-op25 compiled fine.

There is still a problem with the Quickstart section of the PyBOMBS documentation specifying the nonexistent -R switch.

Hello,

I removed everything and installed pybombs using the first method (pip install PyBOMBS. It installed 2.0.1. I then realized I left off the .com on the commands to get the recipes, so I got them okay.  Now I get a different error on the next line.

:~$ pybombs prefix init ~/src/gnuradio -a myprefix -R gnuradio-default

Hello,

I am trying to install gr-op25 in Kubuntu 16.04 and running into all sorts of problems and errors. It also appears pybombs changed enough to make most web information invalid. The instructions on http://op25.osmocom.org/trac/wiki.png/wiki/InstallInstructionsPage did not work.

git clone git://github.com/pybombs/pybombs
cd pybombs
./pybombs install gr-op25

The ./pybombs install gr-op25 command comes back with ./pybombs is a directory error. It is a directory. There also does not seem to be a pybombs/pybombs repository anymore as I see it specified as gnuradio/pybombs.

So I decided to follow the instructions at https://github.com/gnuradio/pybombs to compile gnuradio and still get errors. I used pip to grab version 2.0.1 from the repository.
