There are currently no BSD packages, refer to [Building on Linux / BSD](https://github.com/AlexandreRouma/SDRPlusPlus#building-on-linux--bsd) for instructions on building from source.
# Building on Windows
The prefered IDE is [VS Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/) in order to have similar development experience across platforms and to build with CMake using the command line.
## Install dependencies
* cmake
* vcpkg
* PothosSDR (This will install libraries for most SDRs)
* rtaudio
* [cmake](https://cmake.org)
* [vcpkg](https://vcpkg.io)
* [PothosSDR](https://github.com/pothosware/PothosSDR) (This will install libraries for most SDRs)
* [RtAudio](https://www.music.mcgill.ca/~gary/rtaudio/) (You have to build and install it in `C:/Program Files (x86)/RtAudio/`)
After this, install the following dependencies using vcpkg:
* fftw3
* glfw
* glfw3
* glew
You are probably going to build in 64 bit so make sure vcpkg installs the correct versions using `.\vcpkg.exe install <package>:x64-windows`
## Building
## Building using the command line
**IMPORTANT:** Replace `<vcpkg install directory>` with vcpkg's install directory.
```
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. "-DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=C:/Users/Alex/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake" -G "Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64"
cmake .. "-DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=<vcpkg install directory>/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake" -G "Visual Studio 16 2019"
cmake --build . --config Release
```
## Create a new root directory
## Running for development
### Create a new configuration root directory
```
./create_root.bat
```
This will create the `root_dev` directory that will be used to save the configs of sdrpp and the modules.
## Running for development
If you wish to install SDR++, skip to the next step
You will next need to edit the `root_dev/config.json` file to point to the modules that were built. If the file is missing in your folder run the application once and it will create one with default value -- see later on how to run the application.
You will first need to edit the `root_dev/config.json` file to point to the modules that were built. Here is an example of what it should look like:
### Run SDR++ from the command line
From the top directory, you can simply run:
```
./build/Release/sdrpp.exe -r root_dev -s
```
Or, if you wish to run from the build directory e.g. `build/Release` and adapt the relative path to the `root_dev` folder:
```
./sdrpp.exe -r ../../root_dev -s
```
The optional `-s` argument is for keeping the console active in order to see the error messages.
Because all the paths are relative, for the rest of the command line instructions we are going to assume you are running from the top directory using the former command.
As mentioned previously you need to edit `root_dev/config.json` to add the modules that were built. From the default configuration file you need to add the paths in the `modules` section. Add to this list all the modules you wish to use.
```json

You also need to change the location of the resource and module directories, for development, I recommend:
```json
...
"modulesDirectory": "../root_dev/modules",
"modulesDirectory": "root_dev/modules",
...
"resourcesDirectory": "../root_dev/res",
"resourcesDirectory": "root_dev/res",

Remember that these paths will be relative to the run directory.
Of course, remember to add entries for all modules that were built and that you wish to use.
Next, from the top directory, you can simply run:
```
./build/Release/sdrpp.exe -r root_dev
```
Or, if you wish to run from the build directory:
```
./Release/sdrpp.exe -r ../root_dev
```
## Installing SDR++
If you choose to run SDR++ for development, you do not need this step.

## SDR++ crashes when starting a HackRF
If you also have the SoapySDR module loaded (not necessarily enabled), this is a bug in libhackrf. It's caused by libhackrf not checking if it's already initialized.
If you also have the SoapySDR module loaded (not necessarily enabled), this is a bug in libhackrf. It's caused by libhackrf not checking if it's already initialized.
The solution until a fixed libhackrf version is released is to completely remove the soapy_source module from SDR++. To do this, delete `modules/soapy_source.dll` on windows
or `/usr/share/sdrpp/plugins/soapy_source.so` on linux.
