Hello Stefan and all, I also recently experimented with GR and Docker and at least got it working so far. My approach was different in that I used the ubuntu:16.04 base image where gnuradio v3.7.9.1 (so pretty new) is available pre-compiled in the official ubuntu repositories. Of course that approach isn't something for developers, but if you 1. apt-get install gnuradio-dev 2. apt-get remove gnuradio-dev 3. install some missing header packages, thrift and other libs that are not included in the gnuradio-dev package and 4. get the gnuradio v3.7.9.1 sources and compile it yourself , you can get a good basis for devs. Of course, if you just want to play around with gnuradio, you probably don't need these steps.
Another thing that might be useful: If you want GUI-applications without using VNC (AND if you use linux), you might want to have a look at http://fabiorehm.com/blog/2014/09/11/running-gui-apps-with-docker/ where the idea is to basically share your .Xauthority file and your /tmp/.X11-unix socket. It looks pretty hacky, but it worked perfect for me. For QT, you seem to need to replace "-e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY" within the run command (or use a Dockerfile ENV line) with "-e DISPLAY=unix$DISPLAY". Of course, this wouldn't work that way for Windows. But I could imagine that devices can cause problems there as well because of the small VM that you need. Hope you find some of this helpful.
