dump1090-fa Debian/Raspbian packages

This is a fork of dump1090-mutability customized for use within FlightAware's PiAware software.

It is designed to build as a Debian package.

Building under stretch

$ sudo apt-get install build-essential debhelper librtlsdr-dev pkg-config dh-systemd libncurses5-dev libbladerf-dev
$ dpkg-buildpackage -b

Building under jessie

Dependencies - bladeRF

You will need a build of libbladeRF. You can build packages from source:

$ git clone https://github.com/Nuand/bladeRF.git  
$ cd bladeRF  
$ git checkout 2017.12-rc1  
$ dpkg-buildpackage -b

Or Nuand has some build/install instructions including an Ubuntu PPA at https://github.com/Nuand/bladeRF/wiki/Getting-Started:-Linux

Or FlightAware provides armhf packages as part of the piaware repository; see https://flightaware.com/adsb/piaware/install

Dependencies - rtlsdr

This is packaged with jessie. sudo apt-get install librtlsdr-dev

Dependencies - HackRF

This is packaged with jessie. sudo apt-get install libhackrf-dev

Dependencies - LimeSDR

You will need a build of LimeSuite.
See detailed instruction on the official Wiki how to build and install it.

Actually building it

Nothing special, just build it (dpkg-buildpackage -b)

Building under wheezy

First run prepare-wheezy-tree.sh. This will create a package tree in package-wheezy/. Build in there (dpkg-buildpackage -b)

The wheezy build does not include bladeRF, HackRF, or LimeSDR support.

Building manually

You can probably just run "make" after installing the required dependencies. Binaries are built in the source directory; you will need to arrange to install them (and a method for starting them) yourself.

make BLADERF=no will disable bladeRF support and remove the dependency on libbladeRF.

make RTLSDR=no will disable rtl-sdr support and remove the dependency on librtlsdr.

make HACKRF=no will disable HackRF support and remove the dependency on libhackrf.

make LIMESDR=no will disable LimeSDR support and remove the dependency on libLimeSuite.
