Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Idea for gr-modtool

[Michael Dickens]

OK; good arguments.  Hard-coding into OOT module == bad.  Agreed.

Maybe something more along the lines of: When GR is installed, create a 
"${prefix}/etc/gnuradio/install.cfg" file that contains what GR CMake found, in 
a file that's easily loadable by CMake.  Then in the gr-modtool OOT module 
CMake look for this file and if found load it to get the correct values.  This 
way, the gr-modtool installs will all be consistent on the local OS globally 
(for any user doing an OOT module) but OOT modules will not contain hard-wired 
settings.

That seems better to me.  Thoughts on this version? - MLD
