[Discuss-gnuradio] Some issues with Mac OS X (MacPorts) installed GnuRadio

[Rickard]

Hi,

Installing GnuRadio via MacPorts works very well and without efforts! 

Tried it both on 10.8 and 10.9  OSX:es. 

Finally, its a big improvement from earlier troubles of installing manually on OSX which could be very tricky and error prone. 

Many thanks to Michael Dickens!

However, on both systems I encounter some issues after installation (there may be more, haven’t tried GnuRadio extensively on OSX):

In a "Wx GUI Scope Sinc”  I cannot change/select the "Channel Options” such as “Ch1, Ch2, Trig, XY”. The buttons doesn’t respond.

Only “Coupling” and “Marker” options are possible to select and change values as normal.

Also, I get a lot of python and font related warnings when running a simple script, see below.

What am I missing in my installations?!

This relates to the MacPorts installation (also previous 3.7 versions):

gnuradio @3.7.2.1_0+docs+grc+jack+orc+portaudio+python27+qtgui+sdl+swig+uhd+wavelet+wxgui (active)

Help in resolving this is much appreciated although I use mainly GnuRadio on Linux machines.

Thanks in advance,

Rickard
