5.2.8 Building and Installing the Binaries

Once the component has been generated, use a terminal to navigate to the directory of the created source code (e.g. /src/components). Four commands must be executed (in order) in order to install a C++ component to the /sdr directory:

 $ ./reconf
 $ ./configure
 $ make
 $ make install

If you do not have ownership of your target install directory, (by default /sdr), you will need to run make install as root.

To install a Python component, from the directory that contains the generated and edited source code, simply execute the following command:

 $ python setup.py install

Just as with the C++ installation, if you do not have ownership of your target install directory you will need to run python setup.py install with root privileges.
