Anyone have a suggestion on how to get LimeSDR supported?

I use ‘other’ and 'driver=lime,soapy=0".

You need to have gr-osmosdr built with SoapySDR support, i.e. install SoapySDR before compiling gr-osmosdr.

I thought it was something like that. This gqrx is from the repository and I was hoping I could just add the dependency somehow. Maybe just build my own gr-osmosdr?

Yes, if the gr-osmosdr you have installed now does not have SoapySDR support, you will have to install it yourself. Just be careful not to have both of the installed.

New lib gets built as libgnuradio-osmosdr.so.0.1.5git, ldd /usr/bin/gqrx shows it wants 0.1.4. I will first just try to symlink to the new lib. Otherwise I have to build the old one. I got debian just to avoid all of this, but that is the problem with repository based systems.

Well, it doesn’t segfault and it shows ‘soapy’ now. I will have to wait until I get home to try the radio.

It works now. Thanks. Now for URH.
