I tried to build Limesuite for Nvidia Orin NX (arm64, Ubutu 22), but got the following errors:

Could be a clue?

Thanks for quick response. The update fixed some errors. I still got few errors (dependency related?).

I was able to install missing “gnuplot” and “doxygen”.
There is still error for "######################################################
– Missing required packages:

  • LinuxKernelHeaders"

I have the following header files under /usr/src":

drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Aug 15 10:51 linux-headers-5.10.192-tegra-ubuntu20.04_aarch64
drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 Aug 16 07:33 linux-headers-5.15.0-117-generic

Fixed the:

CMake Error at external/CMakeLists.txt:119 (target_sources):
target_sources may only set INTERFACE properties on INTERFACE targets

If you have installed kernel headers you can ignore the warning

– Missing required packages:
    LinuxKernelHeaders"

The cmake detection script does not handle all naming schemes and directories. But the kernel module build system will find them.

Thanks for quick response.
I commented out the following:
#find_package(LinuxKernelHeaders REQUIRED)
in “LimeSuiteNG/src/comms/PCIe/linux-kernel-module/CMakeList.txt”
but still got the following errors. There is no “makefile” generated.

The update worked without any error. I was able to run "make’, “sudo make install”, “sudo ldconfig”, “limeGUI”, have Lime XTRX detected and run some tests.
Thanks!
