Description muluk.krishnan22 2025-12-20 04:07:58 UTC
gnuradio-companion is not present in the latest update to the gnuradio package. 

According to the build logs between 3.10.12.0-8 and 3.10.12.0-9, it seems like in version 9, the "Dependency GTK_GI_FOUND = FALSE" line causes gnuradio-companion to not be built. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install the gnuradio package
2. Notice that gnuradio-companion is not present in /usr/bin/
Actual Results:
I noticed that gnuradio-companion is not present on my system

Expected Results:
gnuradio-companion must have been present on my system

Additional Information:
According to the build logs in version 9, the GTK_GI_FOUND line is the only difference that causes gnuradio-companion to be disabled. The build log with only the relevant lines is pasted below.

-- Configuring gnuradio-companion support...
...
--   Dependency GTK_GI_FOUND = FALSE
...
--   Disabling gnuradio-companion support.
--   Override with -DENABLE_GRC=ON/OFF

Comment 1 muluk.krishnan22 2025-12-20 07:01:22 UTC
If it helps, I tried to build the package using `fedpkg mockbuild` and I can resolve the `GTK_GI_FOUND = False` line by adding:

`BuildRequires:  gobject-introspection` to the gnuradio.spec file.

I built the RPMs with the change added and installed them on my machine, and gnuradio-companion is now present, and I can run it as well, and it seems to be working okay.

Also, as pointed out in https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/gnuradio-companion-application-is-missing-from-the-gnuradio-rpm-in-fedora-43/177628, this went unnoticed because the spec file uses globs for the contents of %{_bindir}.  This is why the Packaging Guidelines say that such globs SHOULD NOT be used: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/#_explicit_lists
