[classabbyamp]

would you mind testing #38202? I don't have any airspy hardware but I tested it briefly with another sdr.

Steps:

git clone https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages.git
cd void-packages
git fetch origin pull/38202/head:SDRPlusPlus
git checkout SDRPlusPlus
./xbps-src binary-bootstrap
./xbps-src pkg SDRPlusPlus
xi SDRPlusPlus

[BT-Justice]

I am able to do all the steps except for the very last one:

$ xi SDRPlusPlus
bash: xi: command not found
$ sudo xbps-install xi
Package 'xi' not found in repository pool.

[classabbyamp]

ah install xtools for that

[BT-Justice]

Do you need any output logs such as from ./xbps-src pkg SDRPlusPlus?

[classabbyamp]

nope, just whether the software works (especially the airspyhf package, because you have that hardware)

[BT-Justice]

Thank you very much for adding both SDR++ and Airspy HF+ to Void :+1:

SDRPlusPlus is working perfectly fine after a reboot.

airshyhf is working, but it appears to be missing airspyhf_info which is a program that tells the user information about the AirSpy unit. The current airspy package for Void has this as airspy_info (I have one Airspy unit and one Airspy HF+ unit):

$ airspy_info

Here is airspy_info and airspyhf_info from my Fedora 36 KDE Spin desktop:

$ airspy_info

For clarification, airspy_info is part of the airspy package and airspyhf_info is part of the airspyhf package.

[classabbyamp]

airspyhf_info is part of the airspyhf package in that PR. If you just installed sdr++, you probably only got libairspyhf installed.

$ xls airspyhf
/usr/bin/airspyhf_calibrate
/usr/bin/airspyhf_gpio
/usr/bin/airspyhf_info
/usr/bin/airspyhf_lib_version
/usr/bin/airspyhf_rx

[BT-Justice]

I'm not sure how to get the airspyhf package:

$ xls airspyhf
$ cd void-packages
[void-packages]$ git fetch origin pull/38202/head:airspyhf
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages.git/': Could not resolve host: github.com
[void-packages]$ git fetch origin pull/38202/head:airspyhf
fatal: bad object refs/heads/airspyhf
error: https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages.git did not send all necessary objects

I'll keep trying--assuming it is a GitHub issue.

[classabbyamp]

it's on the same branch as the sdrplusplus PR, just check out the SDRPlusPlus branch again and use xi (or install manually with xbps-install --repository=hostdir/binpkgs/SDRPlusPlus airspyhf, that's what xi is doing behind the scenes)

[BT-Justice]

$ cd void-packages
[void-packages]$ git checkout airspyhf
warning: ignoring broken ref refs/heads/airspyhf
error: pathspec 'airspyhf' did not match any file(s) known to git
[void-packages]$ sudo xbps-install airspyhf --repository=hostdir/binpkgs/SDRPlusPlus airspyhf

Everything working fine. Thanks again!
