Build issue on Arch

[zygmund2000]

Hi

I have Arch Linux OS and I'm trying to build latest version but some errors occurs:

-- volk 3.1: /usr/lib/libvolk.so
-- libairspy 1.0: /usr/include/libairspy, AIRSPY_LIBRARY-NOTFOUND
-- libairspyhf 1.7: /usr/include/libairspyhf, AIRSPYHF_LIBRARY-NOTFOUND
-- librtlsdr 2.0.1: /usr/include, RTLSDR_LIBRARY-NOTFOUND
-- libusb 1.0.27: /usr/include/libusb-1.0, /usr/lib/libusb-1.0.so
-- sndfile 1.2.2: /usr/lib/libsndfile.so, /usr/include
-- sndfile MP3 support enabled
-- libportaudio 19: /usr/include, /usr/lib/libportaudio.so
-- PortAudio libs: /usr/lib/libportaudio.so;/usr/lib/libasound.so;/usr/lib/libm.so;/usr/lib/libpthread.a
-- Configuring done (0.3s)
CMake Error: The following variables are used in this project, but they are set to NOTFOUND.
Please set them or make sure they are set and tested correctly in the CMake files:
AIRSPYHF_LIBRARY
    linked by target "sfmbase" in directory /home/roygbiv/test/airspy-fmradion
AIRSPY_LIBRARY
    linked by target "sfmbase" in directory /home/roygbiv/test/airspy-fmradion
RTLSDR_LIBRARY
    linked by target "sfmbase" in directory /home/roygbiv/test/airspy-fmradion

I have all those libraries but still not found, eg for airspy below:

ls /usr/include/libairspy
.rw-r--r-- root root 9.7 KB Fri May 28 17:25:32 2021  airspy.h
.rw-r--r-- root root 4.7 KB Fri May 28 17:25:32 2021  airspy_commands.h
.rw-r--r-- root root 2.7 KB Fri May 28 17:25:32 2021  filters.h
.rw-r--r-- root root 1.7 KB Fri May 28 17:25:32 2021  iqconverter_float.h
.rw-r--r-- root root 1.6 KB Fri May 28 17:25:32 2021  iqconverter_int16.h

You need to install static libraries for AirSpy HF+, Airspy, and RTL-SDR, namely libairspyhf.a, libairspy.a, and librtlsdr.a.

[jj1bdx]

I'm testing using shared libraries for Airspy HF+, Airspy, and RTL-SDR.
See #79

[jj1bdx]

I will eventually merge #79 fix into main, but so far you can use this code: https://github.com/jj1bdx/airspy-fmradion/tree/5721407b3e98e8723a28898c75db8a9c1d604725

[jj1bdx]

And please use libairspyhf 1.8 or later.

I assume that Arch Linux does not install static libraries for airspy, airspyhf, and rtl-sdr.

In past I was able to build fmradion with this os, so why can't you change it to use dynamic like other software?
Rebuild Arch packages just for static is not a solution because every time when upstream updates comes it must be rebuild again.

This commit is nice and builds without errors

I don't use Arch Linux by myself, and I have no resources to test all the different Linux distributions other than those listed in CHANGES.md.

The modification commit is already in the dev branch anyway, and will eventually be merged into the main branch (presumably at the next release). I will close this issue.
