This information worked fine for Mandriva 2007.1

You should NOT need to compile any dependencies from source. EVERYTHING is available as a package. The install should be trivial. Some packages you will need to install if not already installed:

• autoconf, automake, libtool
• libpython-devel
• swig
• libcppunit-devel
• libboost1-devel
• sdcc (for --enable-usrp)
• wxPythonGTK (for --enable-gr-wxgui)

You can install these packages by using your favourite package manager.

Then follow instructions at BuildGuide.
