Hi Achilleas,

No, *but* (I think you're doing this right, but for posteriority, I write this. State as
of 2023-09-27, current UHD is 4.5, dear future reader.):
> I usually install uhd from ettus binaries through the suggested method sudo

modules etc)?
The gnuradio package you might have installed through apt install gnuradio is built
against the Ubuntu (or debian) libuhd, not against the Ettus libuhd (which remains
installed; uhd-host, which includes things like the FPGA image downloader, however, gets
updated, so you can't get the right firmware images anymore for your GNU Radio-used
version of UHD).
So, you *must* uninstall `sudo apt-get remove gnuradio`, and rebuild GNU Radio to link
against Ettus version of the UHD packages.
Here's how I do that, to be able to continue using the gnuradio-dependent Ubuntu (debian)
packages, as the resulting GNU Radio should be binary-compatible.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Enable the Ubuntu (or debian) source repos
2. Install the gnuradio package's build-dependencies
3. Download the gnuradio package and rebuild it
4. Install the freshly built package(s)
5. Fix the version of the installed libgnuradio-uhd package, so an update from
Ubuntu (or
debian) doesn't replace your gnuradio package with one using the original
Ubuntu (or
debian) UHD.
In detail, after you've set up the ettusresearch PPA:
Enable the Ubuntu (or debian) source repos
Either using the software settings in your desktop environment
(settings->Software->checkmark on "Source Code"), or by
* (Ubuntu, debian <= 11) editing /etc/apt/sources.list, add (uncomment) the
identical
lines, starting with "deb-src" instead of "deb" below each "deb" line
* (debian >= 12) editing /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.sources; add "
deb-src" at the
end of the lines starting with "Types: deb"
Run `sudo apt-get update` to make your system aware that it now knows how to get source
code for packages.
Install the gnuradio package's build-dependencies
1. sudo apt-get build-dep -y gnuradio
2. sudo apt-get install -y dpkg-dev
Download the gnuradio package and rebuild it
No sudo required!
cd && mkdir gnuradio-pkg && cd gnuradio-pkg && apt-get source --build gnuradio
You're left with new .deb package files in ~/gnuradio-pkg.
Install the freshly built package(s)
cd ~/gnuradio-pkg && sudo apt-get install -y ./*.deb
Fix the version of the installed package
sudo apt-mark hold libgnuradio-uhd\*
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PS: in case you wonder whether you could put the above in a Dockerfile and just run it
every time you need an updated UHD to get your updated GNU Radio packages; sure:
1. Save attached Dockerfile to empty directory; adjust the Ubuntu version and
date in the
first lines.
2. Install podman (I prefer that) or docker (if using docker, simply replace
"podman"
with "docker" below)
3. cd into that directory
4. podman build -t ubuntu-VERSION-ettusresearch-gnuradio-dependencies .
5. mkdir -p ~/data
6. podman run --rm -v ~/data:/data:Z ettus-uhd-gnuradio-ubuntu-2204:latest sh -c
"cd
/data;DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get source --build gnuradio"
7. You should now have the packages in your ~/data
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
