Re: libosmo-dsp build hangs (required for gr-osmosdr)

[Johannes Demel]

Hi Jeff,

thanks for your help. I decided to be a bit more pragmatic and just 
install the missing piece.
On Ubuntu 20.04 the required package is `texlive-latex-extra` and 
requires 182 MB of disk space.

All of this is part of my effort to install gr-osmosdr on GR 3.9. 
Besides this hiccup, the pybombs recipe tries to install gr-fcdproplus 
which seems to be stuck with 3.8. This project's CMake output is really 
useful. Anyways, I decided to set gr-fcdproplus to `forceinstalled: 
'True'` in my prefix config.yml. gr-osmosdr is kind enough to just skip 
this dependency in that case.

Cheers
Johannes
