Hi all, Apologies in advance as I have no idea what I'm doing on multiple levels. I'm trying to build my own OOT module. I managed to clear a number of issues already but I got stuck.
I have a clean install of the latest released GNURadio following the CondaInstall tutorial on the website, including the steps needed for building OOT modules. I used gr_modtool as described in the C++ OOT tutorial to create the template for my module. Build works seemingly fine, but install places stuff in some crazy location in my Program Files(x86) folder. (obviously I'm on windows) E.g.: C:/Program Files (x86)/gr-ni_modinst_rf/bin/gnuradio-ni_modinst_rf.dll I changed the top level CMakeList.txt to set CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to the CONDA_PREFIX env variable + /Library. This puts everything where it should be, E.g.: C:/Users/Admin/.conda/envs/gnuradio-env/Library/bin/gnuradio-ni_modinst_rf.dll except for the python output. The python output is installed to E.g.: C:/Users/Admin/.conda/envs/gnuradio-env/Library/Lib/site-packages/gnuradio/ni_modinst_rf/ni_modinst_rf_python.cp311-win_amd64.pyd but looking at where GR is expecting and where other stuff is it should be in C:/Users/Admin/.conda/envs/gnuradio-env/Lib/site-packages/gnuradio/ni_modinst_rf/ instead (note gnuradio-env/Lib vs gnuradio-env/Library/Lib ) Any ideas... 1. why was I missing the correct cmake install location? 2. why the difference between the Library/Lib and /Lib locations 3. how to tell cmake properly where to install? Anyway, my temporary fix was to simply copy over the python files where they should be and this way GR got one step closer to running my module. I can drop the block in GRC, however I can't get over the following error when running. from .ni_modinst_rf_python import * ImportError: generic_type: type "ni_rfsa_source" referenced unknown base type "gr::block" I found this thread here: gr 3.9 OOT execution error: unknown base type gr::block (gnu.org) <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/discuss-gnuradio/2021-05/msg00023.html> It sounds like the same issue, but there is no resolution. Anybody can point me in the right direction please? I think I'm doing pretty good considering I didn't know what cmake was 2 days ago, but I understand I'm lacking some basics. Please be gentle. :D Thank you!
