Running on Raspbian Buster OS

[Festerstoybox]

Has anyone successfully installed and ran this on a pi 3/4 using Raspbian OS? If so would love some pointers as i'm still new to Linux and haven't gotten it working yet.

also I want to know if it is possible...
73!

i seen somewhere on this site that someone has it running on pi 4 using the release #2, i would love to know how to get it running on the latest build.

I tried today after I verified first that the libraries were in place(libfftw3-dev etc.)
So I gave: sudo dpkg -i sdrpp_debian_buster_amd64.deb
The icon was created but the associated file does contain some error and the program does not start-up.
I'm pretty much stuck 😭

It is possible but requires editing a few lines to use OpenGL ES. (I'm pretty sure there's an issue open on this repo explaining exactly how to do it)

So I gave: sudo dpkg -i sdrpp_debian_buster_amd64.deb

As mentioned in the name of that file, that deb is for amd64 ONLY, not arm32 or aarch64.

Hi Alexandre, thanks for flying around 😉. Right now I found #39 and #62. I'll give a look

So far I could have it running on my raspberry Pi4 (yeah)

I followed the steps as reported in the past issues (see #39 and #62):
$ mkdir src
$ cd src
$ sudo apt install git
$ git clone https://github.com/AlexandreRouma/SDRPlusPlus
$ cd SDRPlusPlus/
$ sudo apt install build-essential
$ sudo apt install cmake
$ sudo apt install libglew-devel
$ sudo apt install libglfw3-dev
$ sudo apt install libvolk1-dev
$ sudo apt install libfftw3-dev
$ sudo apt install portaudio19-dev
$ sudo apt install libsoapysdr-dev
$ mkdir build
$ cd build

modified ../CMakeLists.txt, added this line:

target_link_libraries(sdrpp PRIVATE stdc++fs)

to allow sdrpp to link, failed without "stdc++fs"

$ cmake ..
$ cd build

then modify ../CMakeLists.txt, added this line:
target_link_libraries(sdrpp PRIVATE stdc++fs)
to allow sdrpp to link, failed without "stdc++fs"

$ cmake ..
$ make -j 4
...

pi@raspberrypi:~/src/SDRPlusPlus/build $

pi@raspberrypi:~/src/SDRPlusPlus/build $ sudo make install

Now, when I launch it I have the Open GL problem already found by other users, i.e:

pi@raspberrypi:~/src/SDRPlusPlus/build $ ./sdrpp

Finally here is the trick to make it work:

Just make the sdrpp command to be preceeded by that option...

pi@raspberrypi:~/src/SDRPlusPlus/build $ LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 ./sdrpp

And boom, it works!
I'm still fighting with some module that disdappeared (frequency_managaer) but it works fine

[perseus68-github]

Moreover I implemented this suggestion:

and I can now launch sdrpp with the simple command:
./sdrpp

I have SDRpp running great on my Raspberry Pi 4B with 8GB of RAM. I am running on the Raspian OS and everything is working great.

Are you still having problems? If yes, I will provide you with the steps I followed.

Whis SDR are you using with SDR++?

though i did miss a semicolon off one line
glfwWindowHint(GLFW_CLIENT_API, GLFW_OPENGL_ES_API);
