The block tree is the data structure that holds the blocks and what GRC uses to sort them on the right-hand panel. Is this an OOT? Then you typically put them into the block tree by having a <category> tag in your XML. The other option is a block tree file, which is what the in-tree components use. You can use the block tree files in OOTs, too.
Then make sure you run gnuradio-companion in a terminal. It'll print out warning if it can't find stuff. M On 02/25/2016 12:37 PM, Richard Bell wrote: > I think I'm misunderstanding you.
