Tom,
most of my problems have to do with compilation i.e. my new block
doesnt compile as somewhere there is a reference to the old how_to
module structure. I didnt add any errors since I think I had attempted
a very large change in one go (i.e. changed the code and module name
and pared down from two classes to just one) and I can solve the
problem by incrementally changing just one thing at a time. I still
think I should be able solve this if I give it another 3-4 hrs
(probably tomorrow) but was hoping to see if someone updated the howto
that works for older versions.

Hi Affan,
Why kind of problems have you been having? I did quite a bit of
productive work with version 3.2.2 simply by creating a new set of
"how_to" routines in addition to the examples.
Are you having compile problems? Run-time problems? I remember
having lots of run-time difficulties because I think the how-to gets
put into /usr/local/lib by default and the usual gnuradio-3.2.2 stuff
goes into /usr/lib (or vice versa, I forget) and you need to make sure
both the regular stuff and the how-to stuff is configured with the
--prefix=/usr option.

Hello all,
I have been spending a considerable amount of time to modify the
how-to-write-a-block to compile and make my own, different name,
module.
While changing the code withing the howto_square_ff.cc is a simple
solution,
it is unfulfilling.
Sadly, I think I tried to make big changes in the code structure
and a
simple find/replace of Makefile.am and howto.i (as well as renaming
the
files) and other obvious files, does not suffice. I tried to look for
instructions on exactly which files and lines to modify, but there
seem to
be none for the structure provided in the example for version
3.2.2. There
are several places (Dawei Shen's tutorial amongst others) that
explain the
modification for a boilerplate model for, I believe, version 3.02
and
before, but nothing for the newer version where the Makefiles.am in
the
src/lib directory is quite different.
I will continue to hack on the current version, and keep notes so
that so I
can report what and how it works, but if anyone knows of an existing
enumeration of steps on how to take the boilerplate provided by the
how-to-write-a-block ver 3.2.2 and modify it to say a module name
toneDetect, I will appreciate it.
Regards,
Affan.
