Does this mean that im still missing some parts …
Or that its caused because i dont have a LimeSDR yet …

  • ConnectionEVB7COM , EVB+COM Connection support
  • ConnectionSTREAM_UNITE , STREAM+UNITE Connection support
  • ConnectionNovenaRF7 , NovenaRF7 Connection support
  • LimeSuiteUtilities , Additional utility programs for testing
  • LimeSuiteTests , Download gtest and build test application

Im wondering why the last 2 are disabled …

2

Any Lime Suite components not built will be due to missing dependencies.

3

im not sure whats needed for

  • LimeSuiteUtilities , Additional utility programs for testing
  • LimeSuiteTests , Download gtest and build test application

Since we already have packages for Ubuntu, you can use the existing recipe to get the build dependencies. See the debian/control file in the repository and look for “Build-Depends:” entries,

Or, if you already have the PPA added to your repositories, you can install the build dependencies using:

sudo apt-get build-dep limesuite

Didnt add hte PPA … i didint want to mix git and PPA …
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:myriadrf/drivers

6

oh sure …

kc7noaodroid@odroid:~/Downloads/LimeSuite/builer$ sudo apt-get build-dep limesuite
Reading package lists… Done
E: Unable to find a source package for limesuite
kc7noaodroid@odroid:~/Downloads/LimeSuite/builer$

Oh it looks like you are using an odroid and the PPA may not be available for ARM. Then you just have to take the dependencies from the control file and install them manually.

8

You are not missing anything .These two are disabled by default and there is no need to build them,

Ok … then moving on …

When building form git …
These were missing form the vanilla Ubuntu 16 (from HK for the Odroid-X2) fully updated
sudo apt-get install libwxgtk3.0-dev freeglut3-dev libi2c-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev git cmake libsqlite3-dev python2.8 gnuplot

I think that was it … not sure.

Uhhh oh, This did build on my X2 ( i think all from Git – but i could be wrong)

though i cant use the X2 with LimeSDR – its HDMI is blown out and i use a USB video device. The Video and LimeSDR take WAY too much USB bandwidth …
