Hi Gisle, rest assured, there's no unfriendliness towards MSVC -- it's just that we're currently really lacking people who have MSVC or even just Windows experience, and hence, problems like these can go unnoticed. Again, that's not a sign of anyone disliking MSVC, it's just that it's been a while since most of us did development under Windows. Also, VOLK is mainly hand-optimized assembler, so I really can't blame anyone who didn't have acute access to MSVC to try with that; that being said, I'd actually like to see more reports/wiki pages on how to successfully build GNU Radio under Windows -- I think there was a thread lately, but I can't seem to find it.
GCC shouldn't be the only compiler supported, seeing as clang is probably used on OS X, if I'm not mistaken. So, to illustrate this: > the read() and write() functions are used on sockets. This doesn't > work well on Windows as you're probably aware Nope, at least I wasn't aware of any of that; that sounds strange to me, because that's nothing you'd expect on a system with a Unixoid API (which WinNT had, I thought). I like your fix, but: I also find it scary. I'd rather go ahead and try whether using send/recv on all platforms would work, too.
