The gnuradio "next" branch builds fine for me but "make check" fails for 
gr-trellis.

After installing the next branch i realized that gr-trellis is not
working properly!

This is due to some work (by Ben Raynwar) that makes gr-trellis
dependent on gr-digital (???)
In particular the constants related to trellis_metric_type.h cannot be
accessed in python/grc
as part of the trellis module, but as part of the digital module
(this problem appears for instance if you run some of the pccc/sccc
examples in gnuradio-examples/grc/trellis).

This can be an easy fix (import digital in all the grc blocks
requiring metric types, and make appropriate changes).

However I wonder what is the point of making a self-contained
module like gr-trellis dependent on another module (gr-digital)
If the only reason is to to use the "constellation" object in the
"metrics" blocks then these blocks should
reside in the gr-digital module instead of the gr-trellis, so that the
latter can still be self-contained.

Ben, can you please explain what is your rational in doing these changes.

thanks,
Achilleas


Achilleas,
This was my doing. Ben had moved the metric types into gnuradio-core to work 
with his constellation work, so I moved them over with everything else into 
gr-digital. I then made gr-trellis depend on gr-digital because of this. 
Because gr-trellis is an implementation of digital modulation, it makes sense 
that it should depend on gr-digital.

I made sure that gr-trellis would both build and pass 'make check,' so the QA 
code is obviously not testing all of the proper dependencies and cases in 
gr-trellis. We need to fix that to make sure the applications still run as we 
move stuff around.

Depending on what gr-trellis requires out of gr-digital, we could possibly 
import digital into the trellis module inside of the __init__.py file.

Tom
