/homebrew-gqrx

This is an effort to setup a homebrew formula for http://gqrx.dk.

Primary LanguageRuby

UPDATE: This may no longer be necessary. Gqrx is now distributing an updated OS X app, and it's available as a Homebrew cask (brew cask install gqrx).

This is an effort to setup a homebrew formula for http://gqrx.dk. Feel free to file an issue or fork the repo to help me out.

It is NOT a "gnuradio and friends" repo. It will only include gqrx and will rely on other Formula for GNURadio and other dependancies.

I want to thank titanous, robotastic, 0x90, and metacollin for their development and inspiration.

I invite each of them and all of their collaborators to help me get pull requests of gnuradio, gqrx, and other related formula into Homebrew.

More (most) importantly, I want to thank csete for his excellent GQRX software.

UPDATE: Until recently, I recommended metacollin/homebrew-gnuradio to satisfy the GNURadio dependancy. There is now an "official" GNURadio formula in the Homebrew repository. So, now I'm using that one. Also, I plan to submit this formula to Homebrew to make it "official" as well.

INSTALL

First, install gnuradio.

brew install gnuradio

Second, Gqrx and version 0.5.3 of librtlsdr do not play nice. Until it is updated, we need to use the HEAD version.

brew install librtlsdr --HEAD

Third, tap my gqrx and gr-osmosdr repos:

brew tap chleggett/gqrx
brew tap chleggett/gr-osmosdr

Fourth, install the Cheetah python module to satisfy the dependency.

brew install python
pip install Cheetah

Finally, install gqrx:

brew install gqrx
