I've tried to compile your code but I'm having a lot of trouble doing it. A lot of libraries are missing and I'm not really sure where to get them and where to place them. Could you please guide me through the process of compiling it? Thanks a lot in advance!
Hi cV, The libraries required to compile the code are the same as rtl_sdr. Please follow the instructions here (http://sdr.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/rtl-sdr) and build rtl_sdr. After you should be able to compile my fork. Good luck!
I discovered your amazing project recently and I'm trying to make it. I've compiled and build your code, but I'm stucking against the next step. Could you kindly guide me how to make the OETA run automatically upon boot? I've to put the start_oeta script in some place? If yes where? Anyway I would like to make only the standalone version. Thank you
Hi Rollo, thanks for taking the time to try to set this up :)
Ive added the .bash_profile to the Github repository. This launches by default for root in Arch Linux. The key point in the script is this:
if [ $(gpio read 9) == 1 ]; then exec startx ~/.xinitrc_server -- -nocursor -nolisten tcp & else exec startx ~/.xinitrc_normal -- -nocursor -nolisten tcp & fi
Depending on the switch connected to GPIO 9 it'll launch in standalone mode or server mode. .xinitrc_normal is used to configure Oeta to start by default when starting X11
Thanks a lot Lom, now it works great! Copied .bash_profile .xinitrc_normal .xinitrc_server in root folder and just renamed the [start_oeta] to [start] since the last line of .xinitrc_normal is pointing ~/oeta/start Otherwise need to change that line to ~/oeta/start_oeta. I think you made the best choice using Arch Linux, nice job! If you have time it will be awesome to have someday a step by step guide in pdf to make the piRadio for both hw & sw. I'll pay for it!
Hello and greetings from Italy! I discovered this great project and I tried to compile it. I compiled and made rtl_sdr first with no problems but when I launch build_oeta I get: error cairo.h is not found. I installed python.cairo but nothing happens...can you help me please? Thank you Max IZ5RNG
Hello, it's me again, dependencies problems solved.. I compiled successfully oeta and it works, now it's time to set up all the rest hardware! Thank you! Max.
