I'm trying to get a RTL-SDR source block (or osmo sdr, since they both work) in GNU Radio, and it apparently must be obtained via the following command lines:
git clone git://git.osmocom.org/gr-osmosdr
cd gr-osmosdr/
mkdir build
cd build/
cmake ../
I do as suggested, but when I run the last line I get the following error
No package 'mpir' found
-- Could NOT find MPIR (missing: MPIRXX_LIBRARY MPIR_LIBRARY MPIR_INCLUDE_DIR)
Among others:
Checking for module 'fftw3f >= 3.0'
Found fftw3f , version 3.3.8

I suspect I might be missing some dependencies but I can't understand what they are or how to get them. Thanks for any help
Okay I got it!
This guy goes over the required libraries

I was missing swig, and afterwards I was also missing liborc-0.4-dev
They can be installed via:
sudo apt-get install swig
sudo apt install liborc-0.4-dev
Please note that despite helping my case in particular, this video predates the release of GNU Radio 3.8 by several years, and really does not reflect GNU Radio's current requirements.
