I am trying to download the GNU Radio Radar Toolbox from this link(https://github.com/kit-cel/gr-radar). I followed the steps listed in that link, but when I reach the {cmake ../} it gives that:

-- Checking for module 'gmp'
--   No package 'gmp' found

and

-- Checking for module 'Qt5Qwt6'
--   No package 'Qt5Qwt6' found

When I started searching how to download the Qt, I noticed that is not free. Also, some of the online commands (shown below) don't solve the problem.

sudo apt-get install qt5-default
sudo apt-get install qt5-doc
sudo apt-get install qt5-doc-html qtbase5-doc-html
sudo apt-get install qtbase5-examples

Any idea how to solve the problem of these two packages?

To build GNU Radio Radar Toolbox on Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS you have install GRC 3.8 from GNU Radio PPA and the build-dependencies by

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnuradio/gnuradio-releases-3.8
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git cmake build-essential gnuradio-dev qtbase5-dev libuhd-dev doxygen graphviz swig libqwt-qt5-dev texlive-latex-base texlive-binaries

and then compile using the following commands

cd ~/Downloads
git clone https://github.com/kit-cel/gr-radar.git
cd gr-radar
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make -j$(nproc)

sudo ./../examples/setup/setup_core
ctest
sudo make install

  • I already downloaded the GNU Radio 3.8 on my pc. Do I need the first two lines? – wesam amiri Oct 31 '21 at 13:07
  • This answer is written in completely reproducible form for fresh 18.04 LTS installation. In your case you can skip first line with adding of PPA. – N0rbert Oct 31 '21 at 17:39
  • Thank you for your time! I followed your commands, but still the 'gmp' and 'Qt5Qwt6' cannot be found. Also, all the 'ctest' results are failed. – wesam amiri Nov 01 '21 at 14:43
  • Please install all updates to the system, carefully execute all commands from the answer and then share the error log with `dpkg -l; apt-cache policy; grep -r ^deb /etc/apt --include="*.list"; sudo apt-get update` to pastebin. I can't get any issues (it says *Found GMP: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgmpxx.so* on next line after *No package 'gmp' found*; *No package 'Qt5Qwt6' found*, but next line is *QWT Version: 6.1.3*) on fresh minimal 18.04.6 LTS VM with only one PPA (with GRC) added. Do you have custom local Qt installation? – N0rbert Nov 01 '21 at 16:29
  • You are right. The GMP is found as you described. Regarding the Qt installation, I found the Qt creator, Qt 5 Designer, and Qt 5 linguist installed on my PC (it is shared PC). This is the resulted list related to the Qt: -- Python checking for PyQt5 - found -- Checking for module 'Qt5Qwt6' -- No package 'Qt5Qwt6' found -- QWT Version: 6.1.3 -- Found Qwt: /usr/lib/libqwt-qt5.so -- Found Doxygen: /usr/bin/doxygen (found version "1.8.13") found components: doxygen missing components: dot – wesam amiri Nov 01 '21 at 16:54
  • After following your commands from the answer and then running the commands in the comment respectively: dpkg -l Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)apt-cache policy – wesam amiri Nov 01 '21 at 16:57
  • grep -r ^deb /etc/apt --include="*.list" ; /etc/apt/sources.list:deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic main restricted ; /etc/apt/sources.list:deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic main universe multiverse restricted #Added by software-properties ; /etc/apt/sources.list:deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic universe; /etc/apt/sources.list:deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic multiverse; – wesam amiri Nov 01 '21 at 17:02
  • For the previous command there more results but I cannot add them because of the limited space. sudo apt-get update Hit:1 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic InRelease Hit:2 http://ppa.launchpad.net/gnuradio/gnuradio-releases-3.8/ubuntu bionic InRelease Hit:3 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-security InRelease Hit:4 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-updates InRelease Hit:5 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-backports InRelease Reading package lists... Done – wesam amiri Nov 01 '21 at 17:10
