libsdr - A simple software defined radio (SDR) library
First of all: I assembled this library for my one entertainment and to learn something about software defined radio. If you are interested into a full-featured, performant SDR framework, consider using GNU radio (http://gnuradio.org).
Build
The only required run-time dependency of libsdr is libpthread, which is available on all Unix-like OSs like Linux and MacOS X, it is also available for windows if mingw is used (http://www.mingw.org) of compilation. Additionally there are some optimal dependencies, which allow for the usage of some additional features of the library.
Qt5(http://qt-project.org) - Enables thelibsdr-guilibrary implementing some graphical user interface elements like a spectrum view.fftw3(http://www.fftw.org) - Also required by the GUI library and allows for FFT-convolution filters.PortAudio(http://www.portaudio.com) - Allows for sound-card input and output.librtlsdr(http://rtlsdr.org) - Allows to interface RTL2382U based USB dongles.
For the compilation of the library, cmake (http://www.cmake.org) is also required (as well as a compiler like gcc or clang of cause).
Compiling the library is the canonical cmake path:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE
make
