Was this using op25?

I use the GUI to generate python code and then run the python code
remotely via a SSH connection to a headless machine with a full install
of gnuradio without using the GUI.

I presume it would be possible to build gnuradio without X11, Qt, or WX
- but I've never tried it.

The current version is 3.7.10.1.

You don't need thrift - it's optional. I've never installed thrift and
the builds complete - but I do have swig installed.

The email addresses pkconfig, automake and libtool issues - nothing
about messing up a user database.

The nice thing about pybombs is it installs the dependencies - which is
the hard part. Then you can setup your build environment. Typing mkdir
build; cd build; cmake ../ is the easy part.
