[Discuss-gnuradio] Spending the whole day to build gnuradio on a Mac?

[Ton Machielsen]

Mac OSX 10.10.4

gnuradio 3.7.7.1 homebrew

Trying to get the SDPplay to work using gr-osmosdr

I tried an innocent brew install gnuradio. That went wrong on the fact that gnuradio was compiled against the homebrew python and when launched uses the Darwin python as discussed here: https://github.com/titanous/homebrew-gnuradio/issues/7. Haven't found a good solution to that problem yet.

Then i used the workaround to export DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH, uninstalled gnuradio and installed it again. That went ok until i built gr-osmosdr with the ENABLE_NONFREE option. Then the problem came back again.

Then i tried to build gnuradio from source hoping it would use the system python and the problem would go away. That took a few hours only to result in the same error.

So i removed all the dependencies and built those from source as well. Now when building gnuradio i get the following error: 

==> cmake .. -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/gnuradio/3.7.7.1 -DENABLE_DOXYGEN=Off -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=clang -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPIL

==> make

==> make install

Error: No such file or directory - /usr/local/Cellar/gnuradio/3.7.7.1/etc/gnuradio/conf.d/grc.conf

What's going on? Is there not a relative simple way to build gnuradio on a Mac? I got all those problems while following the instructions on https://github.com/metacollin/homebrew-gnuradio

Any suggestions would be appreciated,

Ton.
