[Discuss-gnuradio] Problems building SpecEst-d89f99c

[Ryan Connelly]

Hello List,

I am trying to build SpecEst from source (d89f99c) on a system with
GNU Radio 3.6.0 and UHD 003.004.002. However I have a build error that
I can't resolve.

First, make could not find gruel_common.i. I fixed that by changing
$BUILDDIR$/swig/CMakeLists.txt, I put the line
"${GRUEL_INCLUDE_DIRS}/usr/include/gruel/swig" under
"SET(SWIG_FLAGS_INCLUDE_DIRS"

Now make finds gruel_common.i and progresses further, but there is a
new error when it gets to building specestPYTHON_wrap.cxx. The error
is:

/usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/lib/ libpython2.7.a (abstract.o): relocation
R_X86_64_32S against 'Py_NotImplementedStruct' can not be used when
making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC

This is odd because link.txt does have the -fPIC argument in it..
Anyone ever had this error? Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Ryan
