Ubuntu .deb package for Funcube Dongle Pro+ support in GNURadio Companion

This .DEB package installs a Funcube Dongle Pro+ sourceblock for GNU Radio Companion to Ubuntu. It is built from source posted by DL1KSV, implementing the FCDPP as a complex source and provides variable control to LNA On/Off, Center Frequency, Mixer Gain On/Off, Frequency Correction, and IF Gain from within GNU Radio Companion.

The * * Pro sourceblock which comes standard with GNU Radio will not properly control the * * Pro+ and vice versa. Like the source, the package is licensed GPL. The versioning scheme is year.month.day.branch_name representing the date the code was pulled from git and the git branch name.


libgnuradio-fcdpp_13.05.16.master-2_amd64.deb
Built and tested against Ubuntu 13.04 and Ubuntu's gnuradio package (3.6.1).

libgnuradio-fcdpp_13.04.26.master-2_amd64.deb
Built and tested against Ubuntu 12.10 AMD64 and ubuntu's gnuradio package (3.6.1).

Following installation, the FCDPP may need to be disconnected and reconnected in order to detect properly.

Note: I am fairly inexperienced with generating .deb packages. If there is a problem with the package please let me know.
