GNU Radio on Mac M1

[Price, Rodney D.]

I’ve been trying to get a good install of GNU Radio on a Mac M1 (ARM64) running Monterey, using several methods. I’ve tried installing via Homebrew, which gave me an install that crashed GRC constantly. I’ve tried conda install (I have miniconda installed) without success. My latest attempt is with Macports, which gives me a working GRC, but when I attempt to run cmake in the OOT module source, cmake can’t find GrSwig, so I go online to find a GrSwig.cmake, which then leads to another error on LIBTOOL.

 

This is not to complain, but I would really like to avoid going down some rabbit hole on an install that in the end, just won’t work. Macports’ gnuradio is version 3.8, and I would like something more up to date. Playing nicely with conda would be nice as well.

 

So I’m asking for advice on the current state of GNU Radio on Macs with the Apple ARM chip. Have others been able to get a working install of GNU Radio on this system? What’s the current best approach for 3.9 or 3.10?

 

Thanks,

-Rod
