Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] [GSoC2019]: First report from Bowen

[Johannes Demel]

Hi Bowen,

it's great that you start to work on your project right away. Since you 
want to implement a new feature for GNU Radio, I'd suggest to use the 
latest GNU Radio version which is the one in the repository. To rephrase 
it, I recommend to use GNU Radio 3.8. Though, I assume you already 
discussed this with your mentors or will do so.
Therefore I suggest to use a source build/install instead of the version 
provided by your distribution.

Cheers
Johannes
