Make sure you have wiringPi and bcm2835 library installed on your Pi. If you don't install it this way:

bcm2835

wget -c http://www.airspayce.com/mikem/bcm2835/bcm2835-1.52.tar.gz
tar zvxf bcm2835-1.52.tar.gz
./configure
make
sudo make check
sudo make install

For detailed instruction, please see this link.

wiringPi

On most Pi, this library is installed by default. Check the installation by running:

gpio -v

If there's no error, then wiringPi is already installed. You can skip the installation section below.

To install wiringPi, you must have git installed on your system.

Then excute these commands:

git clone git://git.drogon.net/wiringPi
cd wiringPi
./build

Then, check your installation

gpio -v

Building the source

Clone this repository, and build it by simply running:

git clone https://github.com/mania25/LoDrone-Server
cd LoDrone-Server
make

If everything works fine, an executable namely rf95_server will be created.

Running the gateway

sudo ./rf95_server
