> I forgot to mention it, but rtl_sdr (the simplest
one) also doesn't
work. I was
looking at trying to adapt them to use the Gnu pth
threads.
I think Pth won't help things on OpenBSD versions which already use
kernel threads (5.2+), and unlikely to have helped earlier versions
with userland threads either, the problem with userland thread
implementations is how file descriptor blocking is handled.
I was trying to figure out whether pth was abandoned or just mature enough that it
doesn't need any more updates. Looks like it's just mature. I was suspicious
that it was somebody's thesis project.
This machine I'm trying to run on lately under 5.2 is dual core, and various things
indicate that threads are less effective with multiple CPUs. It's my first dual
core. Cost me $37.
There are also Gnuradio sources that can work
from rtl_tcp.
working on this ;)
Me too, I failed a bunch of QA self-tests with segfaults but I'm not hearing from my
post to the gnuradio-discuss list.
Your patch/diff for the cmake stuff works fine under OpenBSD, but not under Linux:
Linking C executable rtl_test
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lTRUE
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [src/rtl_test] Error 1
make[1]: *** [src/CMakeFiles/rtl_test.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2
Gotta dereference that test result, sort of, somehow. I did the patching by hand with an
editor but I'm fairly sure it's right. I did it in the OpenBSD partition, then
copied to the Linux partition.
The sync/async stuff is interesting. I was assuming it was somehow more radio-related,
like sync detection or sync related to the A/D process than USB sync.
