[Discuss-gnuradio] Multiple errors/problems with pybombs 2.0.1 in Kubuntu 16.04

[Eric Cottrell]

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.

PyBombs.prefix - ERROR - Could not find recipe for `gnuradio-default'

I can not find any information on the -R switch.

It seems all the pybombs documentation is outdated. How can I get at least 
gnuradio compiled????
