Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] "GNU Radio is crap" and GSoc

The "you'd have to get all the dependencies right" is no different than any other advanced application out there.

Things like "gimp" and "blender" and a whole whack of others these days have a huge dependency tree.  Gnu Radio is no different.

I have software that I sell that uses a little bit of Gnu Radio underneath the GUI.  Not a huge deal, but it does require that you do a Gnu Radio install.
