Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] macports build failure

[Michael Dickens]

Hi Dan - On 10.8, here is what I generally use:

sudo port install gnuradio +full configure.compiler=llvm-gcc-4.2

If you are on 10.7, I think that will still work.  On 10.6, I think you set the 
compiler to just "gcc-4.2" but it's been a while.  For a full list of compiler 
options, see < http://guide.macports.org > and search for "configure.compiler".

GNU Radio will not compile when using MacPorts' GCC because the assembler does 
not understand the xgetbv instruction.  I think this issue is on the queue for 
"sooner or later"; I'll check into it.  I'd love to be able to compile GNU 
Radio using MacPorts' GCC 4.8 instead of being forced to use Apple's compilers.
