I'm working on installing gnuradio under OpenBSD, just got GRC
working.  I have no audio, since gnuradio doesn't handle OpenBSD's
native "audio" and it also doesn't recognize my existing portaudio
which works with Audacity.

I can set it up in my cmake cache but it still doesn't find it.  I'm
running the standard OpenBSD port portaudio-svn-1406p1 built from
sources.  I've had a little experience writing things in C that work
with native audio but I don't know much about portaudio except it's
working for other things like Fldigi.

I see NetBSD has gnuradio-audio-portaudio which may be different than
their normal portaudio but I don't find source for it, only binaries.
OpenBSD audio is very similar to NetBSD's having borrowed a lot
including audio manpages.

I'll have other questions, right now I've also got no working gui.
But I've only had my dongle since Monday.  It's an RTL2832 with a
R820T tuner.  I'm trying to get some software for it working, I try
Gnuradio, osmocom, sdr#, hdsdr in round robin fashion working on one
until I hit a stopping point then on to another.  Osmocom's rtl_fm is
the only thing even partly working so far.  I get little bursts of
audio about 1 per minute.

Hi Alan,

I can't really help you or give much advice to working on GNU Radio in OpenBSD. But I if you make progress in getting things set up, please help us by updating the wiki's notes for building. And if there are specific issues that can be addressed by patches to the build system, please send them along (by using the Issues tracker on gnuradio.org).
