Installation with PyBOMBS fails

[CeSiumUA]

Hi!
I've tried to install bladeRF host libraries via PyBOMBS as described here: https://github.com/Nuand/bladeRF/wiki/Getting-Started%3A-Linux#user-content-Easy_installation_PyBOMBS
However, pybombs prefix init ~/pybombs/bladeRF -a bladeRF -R gnuradio-default fails with the following error:

Dear @CeSiumUA,

I had the same issue. The way that I figure to solve was to insert the following line
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 17)

In the following CMakeLists.txt files:

Hi, @marco-bv !
Thanks a lot for that workaround. I haven't had a chance to try it yet, as I've already installed bladeRF cli via a repository, but I'll definitely try to build it with PyBOMBS with your fix.

Hello @CeSiumUA,

I completed the ubuntu 24.04 installation. If you have some issue while trying to build lmk.

Regards
