Re: gr-tempest: an implementation of TempestSDR for GNU Radio

[Marcus Müller]

Hi Federico,

this is pretty awesome! Thanks for sharing it.

You can actually install both, if you use separate installation prefixes
for the two and make sure that the PYTHONPATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH and
GRC_BLOCKS_PATH environment only include one of these.

Easier, and less error-prone, definitely, is just using a Linux
container. (You could run debian buster in a podman- or docker-run
container, for example. Debian buster comes with 3.8.1.0 out of the box.).
For non-graphical stuff, that's relatively easy, for graphical (like
yours), there's more fiddling involved until your containers can access
your X server (don't know about Wayland, honestly).

Best regards,
Marcus
