Building LimeSuite
Install dependencies
The dependencies required change based on how much of the suite will be used. LimeSuite will automatically try and build all components that it can satisfy the dependencies for. The following table is a guide to the the requirements for various components.
| Component | Dependencies | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Core library | sqlite3 | Has embedded copy for windows |
| LMS7 GUI | wx widgets & OpenGL | Has embedded GL for windows |
| LimeSDR | libusb 1.0/CyAPI | Use CyAPI for windows |
| NovenaRF7 | i2c and spi dev | Linux only device |
| SoapyLMS7 | SoapySDR | SDR app ecosystem support |
Installing dependencies on Ubuntu
#packages for soapysdr available at myriadrf PPA sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:myriadrf/drivers sudo apt-get update #install core library and build dependencies sudo apt-get install g++ cmake libsqlite3-dev #install hardware support dependencies sudo apt-get install libsoapysdr-dev libi2c-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev #install graphics dependencies sudo apt-get install libwxgtk3.0-dev freeglut3-dev
Installing dependencies on Windows
Users building LimeSuite on windows will need a recent visual studio compiler, preferable 2015. Other dependencies can be obtained from the following download links:
- CMake - https://cmake.org/download/
- wxWidgets - https://www.wxwidgets.org/downloads/
- CyUSB - http://www.cypress.com/documentation/software-and-drivers/ez-usb-fx3-software-development-kit
- It may be easier to download "cy_ssusbsuite_*.zip" rather than the full SDK
