I'm on OSX 10.9.4 and recently picked up an RTL2832u dongle. After trying to get GNURadio to build on Homebrew, I gave up and installed MacPorts (via Homebrew using Cask). Since MacPorts and Homebrew don't always play nicely, I silo'd my MacPorts PATH settings using this technique. With this method, you prefix any commands that you want to run in a MacPorts-friendly environment with a script that sets up your PATH. This keeps MacPorts from intruding when I don't want to use the things installed by MacPorts (which is most of the time). That script is also included in this Gist.
Not sure if it's unique to installs that use both MacPorts and Homebrew, but I ran into several issues:
- PMT would raise linker errors that looked like this
Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64: pmt::dict_has_key(
. I fixed this by modernizing the project I was workin
