DAB recipes to install Opendigitalradio and related tools with PyBOMBS (Python Build Overlay Managed Bundle System)

The ODR suite was awkward to compile or rebuild by hand and PyBOMBS seemed to be capable of doing the required buildchain work.

In addition PyBOMBS compiles UHD for which is used by odr-dabmod and rtl-sdr by dabtools.

This repo provides a less manual way of compiling the following applications, so far:

• odr-dabmux
• odr-dabmod
• odr-audioenc
• odr-padenc
• etisnoop
• dabtools
• dablin
• fdk-aac
• ka9q-fec
• eti-tools

Install

Install Debian or Ubuntu, then follow this section for installing PyBOMBS (Python Build Overlay Managed Bundle System) and then DAB-recipes which will build Opendigitalradio and related tools for you.

apt-get install sudo python-pip
pip install PyBOMBS

odr-audioenc recipe fails to detect libmagicwand

This was done using the Debian Jessie minimal image released in September. I don't have the fine detail to hand unfortunately.

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ list="odr-audioenc odr-padenc fdk-aac ka9q-fec"
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ pybombs install $list
PyBOMBS - INFO - PyBOMBS Version 2.2.0
PyBOMBS.DepManager - ERROR - Package does not exist: libmagickwand (declared as dependency for package odr-audioenc)

However:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo apt-get install libmagickwand-dev

libmagickwand-dev is already the newest version.

I haven't really looked into it further. I was able to compile odr-audioenc in the usual way, so it looks like the recipe fails to detect it for some reason.
