Due to the delayed timeframe some errors had crept into the process over the updates, but these have now been fixed.
Anyone who’s keen to test it, please give it a run-through and let me know how if any changes are required.
It works on PC/Laptop, as well as a Virtual Machine.
The aim is obviously to help those with some entry-level Linux experience get up and running. I’m about to have it tested by my son - so we’ll see how it goes. Any errors are now likely ones I have made in documentation - I’ve otherwise found the process to be consistent and reliable.
I’ve also included a BASH script to enable easy (lazy) setup of SatNOGS monitor. Many new folk will want to see their machine at work visually.
Shout-out to Jan pe0sat for the hours spent on this, and for fielding my many questions.
*Note - This is for Ubuntu 20.04. I’m about to update for 22.04 but it does not work on the new version at this time.

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:92 (find_package):
By not providing “FindSoapySDR.cmake” in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has
asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by “SoapySDR”,
but CMake did not find one.
Could not find a package configuration file provided by “SoapySDR” with any
of the following names:

Add the installation prefix of “SoapySDR” to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
“SoapySDR_DIR” to a directory containing one of the above files. If
“SoapySDR” provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has
been installed.

cmake … did not work.
This did
cmake …/CMakeLists.txt
It looks ok but there is this message:
Could NOT find Doxygen (missing: DOXYGEN_EXECUTABLE)
In the soapy build step there is also a problem with cmake two dots. I got it to run, but there was this message in the build
After running cmake (previous email only two dots) the build directory is empty so the next command “make” cannot find the Makefile. I cd … and then ran make
Make gave these warnings:

And finnally the installation of the monitor for this processor
Allwinner H616, Quad core Cortex-A53 64-bit SoC @ 1.5GHz
dpkg: error processing archive satnogs-monitor_0.4.1_amd64.deb (–install):

Looks like there is no hope for an orangepi
Hope my notes help
