h1. 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. h2. Debbian-based distributions (Debian Testing, Ubuntu >=16.04, Kali Rolling Edition) ================================= First install all needed prerequisites with following command: ``` apt-get update && DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install -y \ cmake \ autoconf \ libtool \ pkg-config \ build-essential \ python-docutils \ libcppunit-dev \ swig \ doxygen \ liblog4cpp5-dev \ python-scipy \ gnuradio-dev \ gr-osmosdr \ libosmocore-dev ``` Currently on Debian Testing and Kali Rolling execution of following command is needed: ``` sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libvolk.so.1.3.1 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libvolk.so.1.3 ``` 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. Then download the *gr-gsm*'s source and build it with following commands: ``` git clone https://git.osmocom.org/gr-gsm cd gr-gsm mkdir build cd build cmake .. # The parallel build sometimes fails when the .grc_gnuradio # and .gnuradio directories do not exist mkdir $HOME/.grc_gnuradio/ $HOME/.gnuradio/ make #to speedup compilation you can use parallel build #"make -j $nproc" where $nproc is number of CPU cores sudo make install sudo ldconfig ```
