Compile Gnuradio 3.3.0

GNU Radio
1

Can anyone advice on the following:

I am compiling gnuradio 3.3.0 on Ubuntu 10.10
and following instruction on UbuntuInstall of gunradio.org

And I’ve installed the Boost by apt-get, is it necessary to install
Boost manually?

  • For Ubuntu 8.04 and older, download and install Boost 1.35 or later
    as follows

Then, the instruction than teaches me to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH,
however, the ENV_VAR $BOOST_PREFIX is not set.

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$BOOST_PREFIX/lib

Where should I post $BOOST_PREFIX to?
to /usr/lib as the .a lib files are there
or to /usr/include/boost where the hpp files are there

Moreover, it sets the $BOOST_PREFIX/lib and I can’t find lib under the
boost directories.

And here are the result of config.log grep boost:

configure:20389: checking for boost>= 1.35
configure:20955: checking whether the boost::thread includes are
available

Thanks for kindly help.

I assume you’re looking here:
http://gnuradio.org/redmine/wiki/gnuradio/UbuntuInstall. If so, you
just need to run this:

sudo apt-get -y install libfontconfig1-dev libxrender-dev libpulse-dev
swig g++ automake libtool python-dev libfftw3-dev
libcppunit-dev libboost-all-dev libusb-dev fort77 sdcc sdcc-libraries
libsdl1.2-dev python-wxgtk2.8 subversion git-core guile-1.8-dev
libqt4-dev python-numpy ccache python-opengl libgsl0-dev
python-cheetah python-lxml doxygen qt4-dev-tools
libqwt5-qt4-dev libqwtplot3d-qt4-dev pyqt4-dev-tools

If you look carefully boost is in there. If you use the above script
there shouldn’t be any other dependencies you need to install.

You shouldn’t need to use those instructions to install libboost after
that.

I got this error. For me it was because I did not have a latex
package installed. Consult the documentation for your distro on how
to do that.

I get the following warning when running make, does it matter?
Thanks.
