[Skimmertalk] Follow-up on Skimmer with rtl_hpsdr (dongle driver)

[Tim Hugill]

Hi John,

If a copy of RTL_HPSDR was to appear like that, ready for a Raspberry 
Pi, I would be eternally grateful !

I try to stay away from Linux-based systems, as my wife complains about 
the bad language, but RPis are friendly beasts.

Many thanks and 73

I think you're way better off running rt_hpsdr on a Raspberry Pi than 
trying to get it running on Windows.

I hope to put together a ready-to-go SD card image for the RPi to make 
it easy to get up and running.  Give me a week or so.

73,
John

    Following on from my rather dumb question about RTTY Skimmer Server and
    SDR Dongles, I've been following the latest threads with interest.

    I have an RTL-SDR (only 1, not 6 or 7) which I'd like to be a source for
    RTTY Skimmer Server on a Windows10 platform.
    RTL-HPSDR translation server seems the right way to go, but to compile
    that on a Windows 10 machine is proving a bit of task.
    I'm following the example of "Odyno" on his page
    "http://www.staniscia.net/1023-how-to-build-rtl-sdr-on-windows-x64/"
    but it's not easy for me, when I'm having to learn how to use Cmake.

    While struggling with this, I wondered -
    Is there a compiled copy of the RTL-HPSDR translation server available
    for Windows that someone might have out there ?
    It would be a big help !

    Meanwhile, I'll go back to my list of CMake Errors and Warnings.
    I wish I'd learnt C++ all those years ago instead of playing Space
    Invaders !
