How To: LimeSDR + GQRX + macOS Sierra (OSX)

Ok, I’ll update tomorrow when I wake up, I’m way too tired right now, haha. Goodnight until then.

@lool Ok, so I tested it here, and it works fine, I will redo my steps in a virtual machine to see what is amiss. I didn’t bring my LiSDR with me to work (was in a rush this morning) but I can report back in 8 hours with my results. I’m glad you pointed this out, I really want macOS users to be able to use their lime without having to resort to VM or Bootcamp for simple testing.

Ah my bad, I was building against soapysdr HEAD because I was debugging a build issue with the python formula installed; this made limesuite use the 0.6 ABI instead of 0.5.x; rebuilding the released 0.5.x soapysdr and limesuite against it makes your recipe work correctly, thanks!

Now this works:
/Applications/Gqrx.app/Contents/MacOS/SoapySDRUtil --find

Thanks again and sorry for the confusion with 0.6.x!

Whew!..haha, I was starting to wonder. Good to know you got it going. I haven’t even checked to see if there’ve been any updates…maybe I’ll mess with that a bit. Thanks for updating us on your current status.
