Compiling

You will find the source for libreciva on the Releases page.

The Libreciva library contains, in most cases, two sets of source files, the first being for the radio itself, and the second being for an NCurses Development environment.

Compiling for the Radio

• You will need the crosstools Toolchain arm compiler (arm-9tdmi-linux-gnu-gcc) installed, and in the path.
• change directory into the libreciva folder
• make clean then make HARDWARE=reciva

Compiling for an NCurses System

• You will need to use the machine's native gcc (which should be in the path)
• change directory into the libtools folder
• make clean then make HARDWARE=devel CROSS=
