Forced to move to gitlab - go there for lastest updates
SdrGlut V1.32 - Mostly Improvements and Clean up.
What is new ?
SdrGlut now has a device sync option where all open device windows track to the same frequency.
SdeGlut can now use more points in the FFT displayhttps://github.com/righthalfplane/SdrGlut/releases/tag/v1.32

SdrGlut is a simple software defined radio player. Using glut for drawing and glui for its dialogs makes it tiny compared to programs that use QT5 or wxWidgets. SdrGlut uses liquid-sdr and SoapySDR to preform the SDR calculations. The audio is handled by OpenAL and RtAudio.
SdrGlut has a new Voice Command Module. It can be programed to record any frequency in any mode at any time. Listen is an example of a program that receives the data. Listen can decode AM, FM, NBFM, USB, LSB and output the audio to the speakers or another program. SdrGlut now has digital filter design mode. It can do highpass, lowpass, bandpass and bandstop filters. Best of all - it generates a c++ program that implements and tests the filter - so there is no question about how to make it work. It adds Voltage bias for powered antennas and Direct Sample Mode for RTL devices. It adds a window that can use the transmit capable SDRs as a signal generator for testing AM, NBFM, USB, and LSB devices. It has a prebuild exe for macOS, a zipped folder for Windows.
The lastest version of SdrGlut needs to have RtAudio installed. Here are videos showing how to do the install on various systems. The Raspberry Pi can follows the instructions that were given for Ubuntu 18.04.
Video of RtAudio installation on:
There are recent versions of libliquid that have the same version number and need different function calls. In MainSource/firstFile.h the defines -
can to be turned on or off as needed. The LIQUID_VERSION_NUMBER logic works correctly about 80 percent of the time.
In the file "MainSource/firstFile.h" comment out the line -
//#define WINDOWS_LONG_NAMES 1
Then -
bash
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install build-essential

cd SdrGlut
make -f makefileUbunta -j 4
./sdrglut.xSdrGlut runs nicely on the Raspberry pi 4 - Do not know if slower version have enough horsepower for it
To do the normal edition of Raspbian - follow the uBuntu instructions with -
make -f makefileRaspbian
instead of
make -f makefileUbunta
This is what I did to get SdrGlut running on the SDRPlay verison of Raspbian.
The SDRPlay verison Raspbian has the SDRPlay libraries already installed.

Get the sdrplay driver installer and install it -
https://www.sdrplay.com/downloads/
SDRplay_RSP_API-MacOSX-3.07.3.pkg
See - above
OpenAL must be loaded on to window. Get the two packages -
OpenAL1.1.CoreSDK
OpenAL 1.1 windows install
from "https://www.openal.org/downloads"
and install them.
The easiest way to install SdrGlut is to install the PothosSDR package first -
https://downloads.myriadrf.org/builds/PothosSDR/
Run PothosSDR-2021.07.25-vc16-x64.exe and select
add PothosSDR to system path for all users
full install
git clone https://github.com/righthalfplane/SdrGlut.git
Then use the GUI and go to the directory SdrGlut/Sdrglut-windows and click the project SdrGlut.sln.
Select "Release" and "X64" -
Then select "Start without Debugging", SdrGlut should compile and start running.
