Installation instructions of gr-gsm

Manual compilation and installation

-----------------------------------

Currently manual method of installation is considered to be the easiest way to get newest version of *gr-gsm* up and running. The *gr-gsm* repository contains automatic tests of manual installation in form of [dockerfiles](https://github.com/ptrkrysik/gr-gsm/tree/development/tests/dockerfiles) that are built and executed by [Travis CI](https://travis-ci.org/ptrkrysik/gr-gsm/builds) continuous integration service. Travis CI informs if particular revision of *gr-gsm* builds and passes tests on a set of GNU/Linux distributions. History of the results can be checked on [the *gr-gsm*'s Travis CI page](https://travis-ci.org/ptrkrysik/gr-gsm/builds).

The instructions presented here are a version of [dockerfiles](https://github.com/ptrkrysik/gr-gsm/tree/development/tests/dockerfiles) with stripped instructions specific to docker and without running unit tests. This wiki might at some moment be behind installation procedures contained in the [dockerfiles](https://github.com/ptrkrysik/gr-gsm/tree/development/tests/dockerfiles) so in case of installation problems it is a good idea to look in there.

Debbian-based distributions (Debian Testing, Ubuntu >=16.04, Kali Rolling Edition)

=================================

11
First install all needed prerequisites with following command:
12
13
```
14
apt-get update && DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install -y \
15
    cmake \
16
    autoconf \
17
    libtool \
18
    pkg-config \
19
    build-essential \
20
    python-docutils \
21
    libcppunit-dev \
22
    swig \
23
    doxygen \
24
    liblog4cpp5-dev \
25
    python-scipy \
26
    gnuradio-dev \
27
    gr-osmosdr \
28
    libosmocore-dev
29
```

31
Currently on Debian Testing and Kali Rolling execution of following command is needed:
32
``` sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libvolk.so.1.3.1 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libvolk.so.1.3 ```
33
It is a workaround due to an [issue](https://github.com/ptrkrysik/gr-gsm/pull/378#issuecomment-379587145) with faulty libvolk installation on these systems at the moment.
34
35
Then download the *gr-gsm*'s source and build it with following commands:
36
```
37
git clone https://git.osmocom.org/gr-gsm
38
 cd gr-gsm
39
 mkdir build
40
 cd build
41
 cmake ..
42
# The parallel build sometimes fails when the .grc_gnuradio
43
# and .gnuradio directories do not exist
44
 mkdir $HOME/.grc_gnuradio/ $HOME/.gnuradio/
45
 make #to speedup compilation you can use parallel build
46
      #"make -j $nproc" where $nproc is number of CPU cores
47
 sudo make install
48
 sudo ldconfig
49
