Installing gnuradio 3.8 (2019-10-09)

from: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57678068/installing-gnuradio-3-8-on-ubuntu-18-04

Setup PyBOMBS

sudo apt-get install python-pip python-apt
sudo -H pip install PyBOMBS
mkdir ~/sdr
cd ~/sdr
pybombs auto-config
pybombs recipes add gr-recipes git+https://github.com/gnuradio/gr-recipes.git
pybombs recipes add gr-etcetera git+https://github.com/gnuradio/gr-etcetera.git
pybombs prefix init ~/sdr

Edit setup_env.sh for python3

sed -i 's/2\.6/3.6/g' setup_env.sh
sed -i 's/2\.7/3/g' setup_env.sh

Edit gnuradio recipe

• Edit ~/.pybombs/recipes/gr-recipes/gnuradio.lwr
• Ensure the "gitbranch" is maint-3.8.
• In gnuradio.lwr recipe file, add "-DENABLE_CTRLPORT_THRIFT=OFF" in "config_opt".

Install uhd and prereqs

source ~/sdr/setup_env.sh
pybombs install uhd
sudo apt install git cmake g++ libboost-all-dev libgmp-dev \
  swig python3-numpy python3-mako python3-sphinx python3-lxml \

Running gnuradio-companion

source ~/sdr/setup_env.sh
gnuradio-companion

The block started to sink when I removed from .block.yml file the channels, now it only works for 1 channel.
Is there any available solution without this procedure?

Yes, there was a bug in the python source code that generators this block's YML which has now been fixed.
The bug partially generated the source YML within the SINK YML, causing the error.

Fix:

1. Download the block generator python script for Osmocom from:
   

2. Execute the python file with the full block name after it:
   python gen_osmosdr_blocks.py osmosdr_sink.block.yml

3. Copy the resulting osmosdr_sink.block.yml file to (the default installation on Ubuntu 20.04):
   /usr/share/gnuradio/grc/blocks
   ...overwriting the original file.

I get a another bug with 'no destructor found' when running the flowgraph script, but at least GRC generates the flowgraph script now!

Hello,
So I started with:

Generate Error: (NameError("'gain_mode31' is not defined",)

Did what nick said:

Fix:

1. Download the block generator python script for Osmocom from:
2. Execute the python file with the full block name after it:
   python gen_osmosdr_blocks.py osmosdr_sink.block.yml
3. Copy the resulting osmosdr_sink.block.yml file to (the default installation on Ubuntu 20.04):
   /usr/share/gnuradio/grc/blocks
   ...overwriting the original file.

but now I have the following:

The block started to sink when I removed from .block.yml file the channels, now it only works for 1 channel.
Is there any available solution without this procedure?

Yes, there was a bug in the python source code that generators this block's YML which has now been fixed.
The bug partially generated the source YML within the SINK YML, causing the error.

Fix:

1. Download the block generator python script for Osmocom from:
2. Execute the python file with the full block name after it:
   python gen_osmosdr_blocks.py osmosdr_sink.block.yml
3. Copy the resulting osmosdr_sink.block.yml file to (the default installation on Ubuntu 20.04):
   /usr/share/gnuradio/grc/blocks
   ...overwriting the original file.

I get a another bug with 'no destructor found' when running the flowgraph script, but at least GRC generates the flowgraph script now!

This worked excellently for me, thanks!

Also having problems using gr-osmosdr sink

I Tried what Nick suggested and when I ran;

python gen_osmosdr_blocks.py osmosdr_sink.block.yml

the following error appears
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "gen_osmosdr_blocks.py", line 388, in

File "gen_osmosdr_blocks.py", line 350, in parse_tmpl
from mako.template import Template
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'mako'

Any ideas?
