[Discuss-gnuradio] Build problems and some possible solutions

[Volker Schroer]

Hi !

I'm using gentoo linux with multilib support and did a fresh git clone 
from the repository.

running ./bootstrap results in



configure.ac:39: installing `./install-sh'
configure.ac:39: installing `./missing'
gnuradio-core/src/guile/Makefile.am: installing `./depcomp'
gnuradio-core/src/lib/swig/Makefile.am:77: installing `./py-compile'
grc/freedesktop/Makefile.am:35: `pkglibexecdir' is not a legitimate 
directory for `SCRIPTS'
configure.ac:22: installing `./install-sh'
configure.ac:22: installing `./missing'
lib/Makefile.am: installing `./depcomp'

As I have installed
automake (GNU automake) 1.11.2

most of the Makefile.in 's  are not written.

As I don't  know the legitimate directory for SCRIPTS I commented out 
line 35 in

grc/freedesktop/Mikefile.am

that is

dist_pkglibexec_SCRIPTS = grc_setup_freedesktop

After that bootstrap generates all files.


Then I run ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/gnuradio

The result was

The following architectures will be built:
     generic 32 64 3dnow abm popcount mmx sse sse2 orc sse3 ssse3 
sse4_a sse4_1 sse4_2 avx


*********************************************************************
The following GNU Radio components have been successfully configured:

config
gruel
volk
gnuradio-core
gr-digital
gr-audio
gr-vocoder
gr-atsc
gr-noaa
gr-pager
gr-trellis
gr-video-sdl
gr-wxgui
gr-qtgui
gr-utils
gnuradio-examples
grc
docs

You my now run the make command to build these components.

*********************************************************************
The following components were skipped either because you asked not
to build them or they didn't pass configuration checks:

gr-comedi
gr-uhd
gr-shd

These components will not be built.

Running make leads to the problem that volk cannot be build.

The error message is

I found this problem in the 3.5.1 tarball, too.

Maybe this is due to the definitions in  archs.xml
that says

<arch name="32" type="x86" no_test="true" >
<flag>m32</flag>
<overrule>MD_SUBCPU</overrule>
<overrule_val>x86_64</overrule_val>
</arch>

After removing the line
<overrule_val>x86_64</overrule_val>

and after again bootraping and configuring everything works well. But I 
don't know if there are other side- effects on other systems.


But

Is this one of the possible side effects ? I suppose not, but at the 
moment I have no solution.

Any hint would be welcome.
