Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Cross compile UHD for powerpc

[Phelps Williams]

I ran into a speed bump here.  I am getting an error when trying to import gr.  It is looking for a module called _gruradio_core_runtime.  

>>> from gnuradio import gr

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

  File "/test/output/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gnuradio/gr/__init__.py", line 43, in <module>

    from gnuradio_core import *

  File "/test/gnuradio/output/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gnuradio/gr/gnuradio_core.py", line 23, in <module>

    from gnuradio_core_runtime import *

  File "/test/gnuradio/output/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gnuradio/gr/gnuradio_core_runtime.py", line 6, in <module>

    import _gnuradio_core_runtime

ImportError: No module named _gnuradio_core_runtime

With a build that is installed and working on my host machine, I look into  /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/gnuradio/gr and I see 

_gnuradio_core_runtime.la

_gnuradio_core_runtime.so

In the cross compiled version of the same directory I don't see _gnuradio_core_runtime.so only _gnuradio_core_runtime.la.  Could this be causing this issue?  Unlike my working x86 build I don't have any shared object files in the cross compiled build.  Why is this?  Am I missing a configuration option or is there something that could cause the shared objects not to be built?

Any ideas what could cause this import error?

Setting PKG_CONFIG_PATH to the uhd build directory did the trick.

cool!

I'm not familiar w/ this concept. I usually set the PKG_CONFIG_PATH to
help the gnuradio-configure find the header and library paths. What
would --with-uhd= do?
