[Hackrf-dev] Gqrx can't find hackRF

[Brian Dickman]

A good first step is to make sure that your osmosdr is linked with
libhackrf. Perhaps there is an easier way to do this? Here's my approach.

At a terminal prompt:

1) otool -l `which gqrx` | grep osmo

(those are backticks up by the escape key, not single quotes)

You should get back the full path to your libosmosdr dylib. Take that
filename and feed it into the next command (for example, mine says "name
/usr/local/lib/libgnuradio-osmosdr.0.1.2git.dylib (offset 24)" so I'll use
that path, but use the result you get):

2) otool -l /usr/local/lib/libgnuradio-osmosdr.0.1.2git.dylib | grep hackrf

You should get a result back (for example, mine says "name
/usr/local/lib/libhackrf.0.dylib (offset 24)"). If you don't, then osmosdr
did not get created with libhackrf compiled in. You can also run without
the grep to see all the info that otool knows about libhackrf.
