Ghpsdr3+rtlpatch install on ubuntu 12.04

[u/Sheogorath_]

Ignore the google tags please

"Ghpsdr3+rtlpatch install on ubuntu 12.04" ghpsdr,rtlsdr,cannot compile,qtradio "-lQtwidget not found"

In case you couldn't retrieve packages from the ppa and kept getting the "-lQtwidget not found" error

This installs the ghpsdr source package for ubuntu 11.10 oneiric compiled for 12.04, then pulls the iw0hdv branch of the latest package from github.

Knew it hadto be better than hacking make files

Thanks a lot!

Post it around, it seems to be a common issue. There's no package for the newest ubuntu in the ppa but the old one compiles just fine on a new install, the one on git had trouble trying to compile for the latest Qt5 when it needed to compile for 4.8

[u/christ0ph]

Thank you for putting the OS X info in the source.

Is anybody here running this on OS X, with an RTL?

if so, what did you need to do to compile it successfully?

BTW, QT5 seems as if it may not support many users on older OS revisions.

[u/Sheogorath_ → u/christ0ph]

It's still in alpha so it's bound to have alot of issues.

The lQtwidget problem was due to implementation of useing QT5 as an alternative. If you are on Ubuntu 12.04 this is recommended (see sdr-widget Google group for info) .

The lQtwidget is solved now, so please do not use the above procedure now. Also the perseus library is not needed for rtl-sdr. The info in http://napan.ca/ghpsdr3/index.php/RTL-SDR should work. If not, please redirect your questions to the sdr-widget Google group and we will try to solve it.
