Error installing gr-gsm on Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS

[carlosrodriguesIT]

Hello,

After perform the steps:

git clone https://git.osmocom.org/gr-gsm cd gr-gsm mkdir build cd build cmake ..

A get the following error:

-- Extracting version information from git describe... -- Found Boost: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/cmake/Boost-1.71.0/BoostConfig.cmake (found suitable version "1.71.0", minimum required is "1.35") found components: filesystem system thread

but it set Gnuradio_FOUND to FALSE so package "Gnuradio" is considered to be NOT FOUND. Reason given by package:

Gnuradio could not be found because dependency Volk could not be found.

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:150 (message): GnuRadio Runtime required to compile gr-gsm

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred! See also "/home/carlos/rf/gr-gsm/build/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log". See also "/home/carlos/rf/gr-gsm/build/CMakeFiles/CMakeError.log".

How can fix these errors? Dependencies?

Thanks in advance

I was experiencing the same problem but managed to successfully install after trying a bunch of different alternatives. I think the issue might have been trying to install gr-gsm from a branch that was not compatible with gnuradio 3.8

I followed the same instructions (installing gnuradio via apt-get, installing all dependencies (including volk, gr-osmosdr etc.)

Then I installed gr-gsm from Velichkovs github using the maint-3.8 fork by: git clone --branch maint-3.8 https://github.com/velichkov/gr-gsm.git cd gr-gsm mkdir build cd build cmake .. sudo make install sudo ldconfig

Try that and if it doesn't work still I can try to figure out the exact instructions I used and all the dependencies.

edit: formatting edit2: forgot cd gr-gsm

The install got a lot farther using the Velichkovs maint-3.8 fork. Looks like I have some Makefile issues to sort out.

FYI, I have been able to successfully build and install in Ubuntu 10.4 for GnuRadio v3.8.2.0-106-gefac6d64 (Python 3.8.5) using a variation on @melfvelin 's instructions (using this repo) as I had already cloned the master branch: git checkout -b porting_to_gr38 remotes/origin/porting_to_gr38

Perhaps adding a note on using the porting_to_gr38 branch to the readme or build instructions for GR 3.8 would be enough to close this ticket? Also, it seems to be the GR convention to name such a working branch as maint-3.8 or gr-3.8

Hi folks,

The support for gnuradio 3.8 was merged in the master branch so my recommendation is to switch back to using it.
