This is actually several different problems.

As for the QT blocks, there's no reason for you not to have them.
Perhaps you have no QT on your machine, but in general, they're part of
core GNU Radio. Make sure you've installed GR correctly (if you need
help here, please specify your OS and how you installed GR).

gr-baz, like many other projects out there, is an extension to GNU
Radio. You might not even need it. However, if you do, you only have
these options:
- Install an old GNU Radio (then gr-baz will work)
- Port gr-baz to 3.7 (that's a lot of work, even for non-beginners).
