Now that's an interesting combination! ;)
Now I would like to begin doing work with osmocom, GNU radio, SDRs and some android development.
I knw it's a religious question, but since I am starting with a completely blank slate, what would be the simplest, most painless distro to set up a development and build environment (cross compiling for arm, building osmocom, gnu radio, and running android development tools and SDKs) ?
I assume the answer must be either Debian or Ubuntu, but really have no idea ... comments ?
Most developers use Debian, it works as expected. IIRC somebody in the past tried to package something from *.osmocom.org for netbsd. Search the ML archive. At least libosmocore compiles on freebsd[1]. Did you try to compile osmocombb on netbsd? I'd be interested in the results.

Kind regards, -Alexander Huemer
