Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] [Announcement] GNU Radio pre-3.8: pre-Change notification

FYI: I share Marcus' concerns about using non-standard installers for your system. That said, I tested the pip install approach; and it works.

In the end however, on my 16.04 system, I went with installing CMake by hand via the script that Kitware provides.

Cheers Martin,

honest point is that I haven't tested that, and I also don't know
whether our install scripts install our own CMake files in the right
directory when you mix apt-get/dpkg and pip. (Nota bene: I'm not a
great fan of installing system software through third party tools
globally, but you know that ;) ). From a usability point of view,
finding an official PPA from the CMake folks that contains a backport
that properly conflicts with the CMake Ubuntu ships would be
desirable.

Fight the competing-installation problems!

Let's make this work,
Marcus
