[Hackrf-dev] ubuntu 14.04lts

[Donald Pupecki]

I always find the most straightforward way is to compile from source. Grab
hackrf, (uhd, rtlsdr, etc if you have those), gnuradio, gr-osmosdr, gqrx
from their respective git repos and build in that order. Except for gqrx
they all use cmake so the instructions are basically the same.
Goto the directly with the cmakelists.txt file. (Hackrf this is host I
believe, the rest I think are in the root) Run:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../
(Observe the output and make sure all desired components are set to build)
If you get an error about a missing package or a component you want isn't
set to build due to a dependency error, apt-cache  (or aptitude) search
<missing thing>, aptitude install <package that looks closest to missing
thing> (usually they will start with lib and/or end in dev/devel)
make -j <# of cpu cores>
sudo make install

For gqrx run qmake instead of cmake.

It may not be easiest but you'll learn the most and not have to rely on the
(seemingly always broken) build scripts or (also always broken, very
immature) pybombs.

If you want the easiest solution, use the Pentoo live cd.
