CubicSDR is a panadapter spectrum visualizer. CubicSDR in Fedora 29 has been getting abrt failures. Reported upstream, the upstream developer does not wish to investigate, as our versions of libraries (specifically, wxwidgets-3.0.x) is older than what he's built for (wxwidgets-3.1.x, a development branch). I had backported to wxwidgets-3.0 6 months ago, but upstream has moved on with extensive use of 3.1 APIs, making backporting much more difficult now. Fedora 31 (rawhide) does not yet have wxwidgets-3.1, and the maintainer there has said he won't upgrade it to a development branch. So CubicSDR is unlikely to be fixed before wxwidgets-3.2, whenever that happens. :-( SoapySDR is a hardware library for various adapter boards, which is used by CubicSDR. SoapySDR has one reported failure, building against Python 3.8 in Fedora 31 (rawhide). I don't believe SoapySDR is used outside of CubicSDR at this time. With CubicSDR not being fixed, I don't know that it's worth it to try to fix SoapySDR yet. Perhaps wait for upstream to address it. If either of these matter to you and you're in a position to fix them, please do.

Hi, I am just now setting up an SDRPlay Duo and was thinking about using CubicSDR. I do not mind taking this assuming it supports SDRPlay. I have never used it so please advise, has it worked with SDRPlay hardware previously? I am starting here at ground zero as far as SDR stuff so will have to get myself setup and oriented on the build process. (Currently I am a gcc/gfortran maintainer, and I am shifting my interests a little more to my ham radio work. 73, Jerry KF7RCC

Thanks Jerry. I'd gladly take you up on the offer for both. Miro Hrončok was able to resolve the SoapySDR python 3.8 build failure, so that is now fixed and the most recent release is in rawhide. There shouldn't be a need to backport that to F30 unless you really wanted to. There is an upstream SoapySDR plugin for SDRPlay, which I have not packaged as I don't have that hardware. That would be your first step. https://github.com/pothosware/SoapySDRPlay/wiki As for CubicSDR, it's going to be an ongoing struggle unless either wxWidgets development release is packaged into Fedora, or someone goes through the trouble of getting an exception to include it statically for CubicSDR. Thanks, Matt N5MLD
