How to build the latest rxtx-event branch on Ubuntu 11.04

You will need the following dependencies installed.

libqt4-opengl-dev
glutg3-dev
libusb-0.1-4
libfftw3-dev
portaudio19-dev
libpulse-dev
libsamplerate0-dev
libusb-1.0-0-dev
libconfig8-dev
libtool
qtmobility-dev
git

libevent

For the rxtx-event branch of the software, you will also need a version of libevent that is newer than what is available from the Ubuntu distribution. Go to synaptic and completely remove the stock libevent (v1.4) from Ubuntu.

Then download from:

http://libevent.org/

libevent-2.0.15-stable.tar.gz

Uncompress and follow the instructions to build and install:

$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install
$ sudo ldconfig

Building the branch

Create a new directory and cd into it.

$ git clone git://github.com/alexlee188/ghpsdr3-alex

It will take a minute to download. cd into the new directory ghpsdr3-alex:

$ cd ghpsdr3-alex $ git checkout rxtx-event

You are now working with Alex's latest and greatest!

$ autoreconf -i $ ./configure $ make all $ sudo make install

(If you do not want to actually install the executable binaries you can just cd into the following and run them from there)

Terminal 1 $ cd ghpsdr3-alex/trunk/src/softrock $ ./softrock ...options ...

Terminal 2 $ cd ghpsdr3-alex/trunk/src/dspserver $ ./dspserver ..options...

Terminal 3 $ cd ghpsdr3-alex/trunk/src/QtRadio $ ./QtRadio

To pull a new version to build

$ git pull $ make all $ sudo make install

Installation on Windows

QtRadio, the client, is available on Windows for RX. A zip can be downloaded from: http://napan.com/ve9gj/qtradio.zip

Unzip to any folder and run the qtradio.exe file. It does not need an actual install, just the included dll files in the same folder.
