I recently bought an SDR dongle, and had my roommate (who is much more knowledgeable about Python dev on OS X than I am) try and get this project compiled and up and running for me-they said it was the most complicated Python project they've ever had to compile, as far as dependencies are concerned.

the TLDR being that SDR software for Mac sucks, Linux (in our case the R Pi2) is a much better option.

If you want to try a SDR client on OSX I would recommend CubicSDR as it works very well (especially since the last update in August).

Thanks for this recommendation - I'm just starting to get in to SDR and GQRX crashes constantly on me :(
