could not determine kind of name for C.rtlsdr_set_bias_tee

1. Stratux version:

Today's git head

2. Stratux config:

None, can't get past make.

4. Description of your issue:

Hm, looks like recent changes on github.com/jpoirier/gortlsdr may not compile. Will take a look later. @jpoirier ?

[jpoirier]

@cyoung note that librtlsdr needs to be updated prior to go getting gortlsdr because bias tee support was added.

I just double checked and get a successful build via :

cd ~/tmp git clone git@github.com:jpoirier/librtlsdr.git cd librtlsdr mkdir build; cd build cmake ../ sudo make install sudo ldconfig rm -rf $GOPATH/github.com/jpoirier/gortlsdr go get github.com/jpoirier/gortlsdr

[garyemiller]

Hmm. I was using package net-wireless/rtl-sdr-0.5.3_p20150730 on gentoo. When I remove that and pull from the librtlsdr git it works for me.

So that solves my problem. I'll create a Gentoo bug for this.

[garyemiller]

Thanks!

[garyemiller]

Hmm, gentoo installs steve-m/librtlsdr, but you had me install jpoirier/librtlsdr.git

Any way to get Stratux to work with either librtlsdr?

[jpoirier]

bias tee is in latest master branch at steve-m/librtlsdr.git so gortlsdr should compile without error provided it (steve-m/librtlsdr.git) was installed from source but for stratux you should be using jpoirier/librtlsdr.git

[cyoung]

I'll leave this open - we should probably add something to the build scripts or Makefile that checks the base librtlsdr version.

[jpoirier]

fyi, latest releases: jpoirier/librtlsdr v0.5.5 <---> jpoirier/gortlsdr 2.10.0

I am trying to compile Stratux and am running into this issue... Checking out the jpoirier git does not seem to work:

git clone git@github.com:jpoirier/librtlsdr.git
Cloning into 'librtlsdr'...
Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

Any way around this? (I'm building on a Raspbian Stretch) Thanks!

Your URLgit clone git@github.com:jpoirier/librtlsdr.git needs a password. It is the URL for developers. Use the public URL: git clone http@github.com:jpoirier/librtlsdr.git

[jovrstra]

Thanks! I overlooked that... The git-command that worked is: git clone https://github.com/jpoirier/librtlsdr.git (still did not finish it all as there were other issues, on my side, so they don't belong in this thread :))

[scottbyrns]

I ended up having to pull from source after removing using sudo apt-get purge librtlsdr0 librtlsdr-dev gr-osmosdr and building as described here above by @jpoirier

Took some effort to clean up existing elements of SDR installs, it seemed like these instructions didn't work but after some effort, these solutions are correct.

Ran sudo apt-get install gqrx-sdr then sudo apt-get purge librtlsdr0 librtlsdr-dev gr-osmosdr and finally sudo make install for librtlsdr which enabled rm -rf $GOPATH/github.com/jpoirier/gortlsdr go get github.com/jpoirier/gortlsdr to succeed.

[cyoung]

We should have a config script to deal with these issues.
