Re: Coexistence of Gnuradio 3.7 and 3.8 on one PC

[Barry Duggan]

Hi Harald,

One possibility is to use PyBOMBS to build two separate folders which 
are independent of the system files so there is no confusion.

See https://github.com/gnuradio/pybombs#pybombs You could build 3.7 in a 
folder named ~/GR37 and 3.8 in a folder ~/GR38 and each folder would 
have all of the libraries contained within those folders. It would take 
a while to build, but should work OK once you are done.

To speed up compile time you might set up a swap file. See 
https://wiki.gnuradio.org/index.php/InstallingGRFromSource_on_Raspberry_Pi 
for reference.

I worked on the documentation of both, so please let me know if you run 
into any problems.

Happy holidays and 73,

Dear Readers,

i am using Gnuradio 3.7 on a Raspberry Pi 4 (SDRPlay image v0.6). This
reduces compilation effort for RSP1 and B205 usage drastically.

Is there a way to compile and install GR3.8 in parallel to GR3.7?
Do i need to build uhd-module new?
