Installing Source on Fedora - BenningtonCS/Telescope-2014 GitHub Wiki

Below is an outline of how to get srtn to run on fedora. Currently these are just notes and they will be made more in-depth once finalized.

From a clean install of Fedora (Check to see version number)

Open terminal

sudo yum install gcc
sudo yum install git
sudo yum install gtk2-devel
sudo yum install libusb-devel

These will install all the necessary packages that you will need to run.

Using git, clone a copy of the repo to local machine

git clone http://github.com/BenningtonCS/Telescope-2014

Once done, enter the directory

cd Telescope-2014/srtnver3
./srtnmake

This should work, but before we can execute the program, we have to blacklist the driver so it will not already be in use when we try to call on it

su
echo "blacklist dvb_usb_rtl28xxu" > /etc/modprobe.d/librtlsdr-blacklist.conf

After this, the computer will need to be reset (there may be a way to do it without resetting the computer but for now, this works)

Once back up, cd back into Telescope-2014/srtnver3 and you can execute the program

./srtn

This is where I ran in to problems, as it appears gtk was not working properly......
