We will learn how to Build and install CubicSDR (A Cross-Platform Software-Defined Radio Application) from source on Ubuntu 22.04.2 running on Raspberry Pi 4.

Install Basic build support:

$ sudo apt-get install git build-essential automake cmake

Install Base Dependencies:

$ sudo apt-get install libpulse-dev libgtk-3-dev

Install OpenGL Dependencies

$ sudo apt-get install freeglut3 freeglut3-dev

Build and install SoapySDR

$ mkdir ~/Works
$ cd ~/Works
$ sudo rm -rf SoapySDR
$ git clone https://github.com/pothosware/SoapySDR.git
$ cd SoapySDR
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make
$ sudo make install
$ sudo ldconfig

Download and Install Driver for SDRPlay RSP devices:

From https://www.sdrplay.com/downloads/ – Download ARM Ubuntu specific API & Driver – 64 bit.

Make the file executable:
$ sudo chmod 755 ./SDRplay_RSP_API-ARM64-3.07.1.run

Run the file:
$ ./SDRplay_RSP_API-ARM64-3.07.1.run

Build and Install SoapySDRPlay:

$ cd ~/Works
$ sudo rm -rf SoapySDRPlay
$ git clone https://github.com/SDRPlay/SoapySDRPlay.git
$ cd SoapySDRPlay
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make
$ sudo make install
$ sudo ldconfig

Okay, now let us Check the SoapySDR installation:

SoapySDRUtil –info

SoapySDRUtil –probe=”driver=sdrplay”

Build and Install Hamlib libraries:

Download hamlib-3.3.tar.gz from: https://sourceforge.net/projects/hamlib/files/hamlib/3.3/ and
copy to ~/Works

$ cd ~/Works
$ sudo apt remove libhamlib2
$ tar -zxvf hamlib-3.3.tar.gz
$ cd hamlib-3.3
$ ./configure –prefix=/usr/local –enable-static
$ make
$ sudo make install
$ sudo ldconfig

Build and install liquid-dsp:

$ cd ~/Works
$ git clone https://github.com/jgaeddert/liquid-dsp
$ cd liquid-dsp
$ ./bootstrap.sh
$ CFLAGS=”-march=native -O3″ ./configure –enable-fftoverride
$ make
$ sudo make install
$ sudo ldconfig

Build static wxWidgets:

$ cd ~/Works
$ wget
https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/releases/download/v3.1.3/wx
Widgets-3.1.3.tar.bz2
$ tar -xvjf wxWidgets-3.1.3.tar.bz2
$ cd wxWidgets-3.1.3/
$ mkdir -p ~/Works/wxWidgets-staticlib
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure –with-opengl –disable-shared –enable-monolithic
–with-libjpeg –with-libtiff –with-libpng –with-zlib –disablesdltest –enable-unicode –enable-display –enable-propgrid —
disable-webkit –disable-webview –disable-webviewwebkit —
prefix=echo ~/Works/wxWidgets-staticlib CXXFLAGS=”-std=c++0x”
$ make
$ make install

Build CubicSDR with Hamlib and ALSA support:

$ cd ~/Works
$ git clone https://github.com/cjcliffe/CubicSDR.git
$ cd CubicSDR
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ../ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release –
DwxWidgets_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE=~/Works/wxWidgets-staticlib/bin/wxconfig -DUSE_HAMLIB=1 -DUSE_AUDIO_PULSE=0 -DUSE_AUDIO_OSS=0 –
DUSE_AUDIO_ALSA=1 -DOTHER_LIBS=”-latomic”
$ make
$ sudo make install

Launch CubicSDR

$ cd x64/
$ sudo ./CubicSDR
