Unable to install - Build Failed

[andrazjelenc]

Hello, I've been following installation guide on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, fresh install in VmWare. I am facing this problem when installing gr-gsm: In file included from /usr/local/include/uhd/types/dict.hpp:148:0, from /usr/local/include/uhd/types/device_addr.hpp:12, from /usr/local/include/uhd/stream.hpp:13, from /usr/local/include/uhd/device.hpp:12, from /usr/local/include/uhd/usrp/multi_usrp.hpp:27, from /usr/local/src/gnuradio/gr-uhd/include/gnuradio/uhd/usrp_block.h:28, from /usr/local/src/gnuradio/gr-uhd/lib/usrp_block_impl.h:26, from /usr/local/src/gnuradio/gr-uhd/lib/usrp_block_impl.cc:23: /usr/local/include/uhd/types/dict.ipp: In member function ‘bool uhd::dict<Key, Val>::operator==(const uhd::dict<Key, Val>&) const’: /usr/local/include/uhd/types/dict.ipp:120:23: error: range-based ‘for’ loops are not allowed in C++98 mode for(auto &p : _map){ ^ /usr/local/include/uhd/types/dict.ipp:121:38: error: request for member ‘first’ in ‘p’, which is of non-class type ‘int’ if (not (other.has_key(p.first) and other.get(p.first) == p.second)){ ^ /usr/local/include/uhd/types/dict.ipp:121:61: error: request for member ‘first’ in ‘p’, which is of non-class type ‘int’ if (not (other.has_key(p.first) and other.get(p.first) == p.second)){ ^ /usr/local/include/uhd/types/dict.ipp:121:73: error: request for member ‘second’ in ‘p’, which is of non-class type ‘int’ if (not (other.has_key(p.first) and other.get(p.first) == p.second)){ ^ make[2]: *** [gr-uhd/lib/CMakeFiles/gnuradio-uhd.dir/usrp_block_impl.cc.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [gr-uhd/lib/CMakeFiles/gnuradio-uhd.dir/all] Error 2 make: *** [all] Error 2 PyBOMBS.Packager.source - ERROR - Build failed.

Any ideas how to solve this? Thanks!

Hi,

I have this exact same problem!

I am installing using PyBOMBS.

I have tried with Mint 18.3 and Ubuntu 16.4, both in VMWare. I had it running fine in Mint 18.? in VMWare for a long time, but after a kernel upgrade (I think that must be it) gr-gsm stopped working.

For Ubuntu 16.4 it does not work with kernel 4.13.0-36-generic and newer, although I am not certain that it is the newer kernel that is causing trouble.

I would be very grateful if someone could help resolving this issue!

Cheers, Anders

Hi @andrazjelenc,

I've been following installation guide on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, fresh install in VmWare.

Ubuntu 14.04 is pretty old, because this is a fresh install my advice is to install Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

It seems the compiler is too old, could you provide the output of cc --version

Hi @anderstogern,

I am installing using PyBOMBS.

In Ubuntu 16.04 there is an easier method to install then pybombs, just execute all commands as in the docker file

https://github.com/ptrkrysik/gr-gsm/blob/e24860f9c018b761d3380d9ceaea0dff46ead6f4/tests/dockerfiles/Ubuntu_16_04.docker#L4-L32

I have this exact same problem! I had it running fine in Mint 18.? in VMWare for a long time, but after a kernel upgrade (I think that must be it) gr-gsm stopped working.

It stopped compiling with the exact same error as in the original report?

For Ubuntu 16.4 it does not work with kernel 4.13.0-36-generic and newer, although I am not certain that it is the newer kernel that is causing trouble.

What SDR do you use?

[ptrkrysik]

Please follow the @velichkov advice. In case of further problems with installation please report the problem on the mailing list.

Hi @velichkov,

Thanks for your replies!

Yes:

I am using a NooElec NESDR Nano 3.

Using the instructions you provided from the Docker file works for Ubuntu 16.04. Getting rid of PyBOMS is also much desired.

Now I am facing a problem with the grgsm_scanner application. It scans the first frequenc (926000000) fine, but hangs while scanning the second frequency 928000000). I have modified grgsm_scanner to be more verbose and it hangs while running the wideband_scanner:

sudo ./grgsm_scanner.py -v

I am not sure exactly in which part of gnuradio it hangs, but it seems to be outside grgsm_scanner. Do you have any suggestions as to the cause of this?

Cheers, Anders

Hi again,

Further investigation shows that grgsm_livemon can scan the last frequency (928000000) just fine (although there is nothing on it) and I am able to receive data on other frequencies using grgsm_livemon.

So it seems to be a problem with the grgsm_scanner is using the gnuradio libraries. Unfortunately my current work relies on grgsm_scanner to work.

Does this spur any ideas as to what might be the cause of the hang?

Cheers, Anders

Hello, I updated Ubuntu to 16.04 and used commands that are in Dockerfile and it worked, build and tests went straight through. Thank you for mentioning Dockerfile in tests.
