Thank you, Fabian!
I followed your advice and was able to successfully build the full
Gnuradio system.
Using an
RTL-SDR.com dongle, I am able to run osmocom_fft with expected
results. However, on exiting osmocom_fft (or other oscmocom programs) I
get a lengthy set of error messages. I also saw this with my earlier
attempts to work around the build problem. I wonder if there is another
issue.
Here is a screenshot showing the beginning of the console output. Do
you know what might be causing this?
Thanks,
John

I guess you are referring to the script `build-gnuradio`[1] recommended
by the gnuradio wiki[2].
This script fetches the master of gr-osmosdr from the upstream osmocom
git repo but the master of rtl-sdr form a fork by patchvonbraun[3].
The script is failing with an error in the
gr-osmo[sdr] build phase,
and I've been able to verify this with a separate attempt to build.
gr-osmosdr
depends on rtl-sdr and since commit 3c7d3f16 gr-osmosdr
requires patches in rtl-sdr which introduced bias-tee support (for
respective hardware).
Those patches are applied in the latest master in the upstream git repo
of rtl-sdr, but not in the fork by patchvonbraun.
Thus the build fails.
I recommend to modify the build-gnuradio script in a way to use the
upstream repository of rtl-sdr[4], or to pull the latest changes from
upstream into the fork by patchvonbraun.
Sincerely,
Fabian P. Schmidt / kerel
