If the aim of compiling from source is to obtain the latest bias-tee additions, then neither of these will work. If you're going to compile from source, compile from the mainline repository please. The rtl-sdr package in Raspbian Stretch is out of date, and won't be much help either.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"> <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">- If you follow the rtl-sdr compilation instructions at [2], it uses a build flag which makes all the module blacklisting steps further down the guide irrelevant. <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"> <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">- You are missing dependencies for direwolf (mainly libasound2-dev).
