Hello,
I battled with osmo-bts-trx this afternoon; it didn't want to build with
old (at least not any I tried) nor recent libosmocore, so I ended up
using a chainsaw and cutting pieces out of it. The outcome is here:
https://github.com/shimaore/osmo-bts
You can see what I had to remove here:
https://github.com/shimaore/osmo-bts/commit/b5ac1c000e6d7bea57f7c1d8d47f43f…
This version builds with libosmocore etc `master` revisions.(*)
Once compiled this gives me a piece of software that starts and prints
out messages on the console, and apparently connects to the transceiver
on one side, and to osmo-bsc on the other side.
Anyhow, sending this out in hope this might save someone else a few
hours. :}
S.
(*) The `abis` and `rsl` code are completely different in recent
libosmocore, I suspect this build uses the old `abis` code embedded
inside osmo-bts. The sysmo-bts code was updated, but not the
trx-bts code.

Hello,
Martin O'Shield encouraged me to post the documentation I had started on
OsmoCom integration with UmTRX, so here you go:
* https://github.com/shimaore/umtrx-osmo-bts
which describes how to get started with the BTS side
* https://github.com/shimaore/umtrx-osmo-bsc
which deals with the BSC side
Basically each of these contain a "how.txt" file on how to build the
software, and a "start.sh" template script on how to start it.
Feel free to use github's Issues and Pull Requests to ask questions or
suggest changes.

I recently followed the instructions on the wiki and it worked fine
for me and without having to make any changes.

Btw, since recent updates in osmo-trx, you should use the master
branch from the official Osmocom repo:
http://cgit.osmocom.org/osmo-trx/ (preferred way)
or the master branch from fairwaves osmo-trx repo:
https://github.com/fairwaves/osmo-trx
The latter may lag compared to the official Osmocom osmo-trx and thus
is less preferred,

Hi Andrew,

I guess I must have tried that at first but skipped it because openbsc
didn't want to build in the `jolly/testing` branch. However for the
little bits open-bts-trx depends on in the openbsc code, this works
fine (oops!).
So really the current path to compile the osmo-bts-trx jolly/trx branch
remains to use the openbsc jolly/testing branch (as indicated on the
wiki). I'll update my notes.
As I said, the jolly/testing branch of openbsc doesn't build fully.
(Although I guess this still leaves you with an osmo-nitb binary!)
The `master` branch of openbsc builds properly, that's why I got stuck
with that in my mind ("it builds so it's the one to use!").
I'm not sure what the feature differences and stability are, though.
osmo-nitb (master branch) crashes when I try to place mobile-to-mobile
calls, I need to experiment with the different versions.

Hi all,
I think this discussion is better suited for the openbsc mailing list,
as it is not specific to UmTRX. I would recommend you to move it
there.
That said, we're using network_from_scratch procedure here, may be
with minor changes, and it works very well.
Crashes you've seen may be related to some incompatibility between
osmo-bts, osmo-nitb and libosmocore.
