Having just got my new Linux box setup (primary home and work computers being Wintel 7, but I'm doing my best with this work computer to do everything in Linux starting by installing Linux Mint), I'm working on getting an SDR setup done. So far it looks like GQRX by OZ9AEC is a good app to investigate, knowing that SDR# runs under Mono and that'd be to easy. GQRX-SDR looks like it does just enough to get my feet wet, while also letting me investigate how Linux SDR works.
So first thing is to install QT, and in this case I'm opting for QT 4.7. QT5.0 is out, but I'm not wanting to go bleeding edge just yet. :-)
I downloaded the source and started to go through the official compile instructions on the official site, and right away got weird errors trying to do the make. The "configure" went fine, but there actually was no make file created. Ok, time for Plan B...which is to just do apt-get a few times.
I wholeheartedly recommend the wikihow.com tutorial here. The install went flawless.
Next step: Get GQRX-SDR installed.
