Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] UHD/gnuradio on CentOS 7 install problems

[Martin Braun]

PyBOMBS doesn't have an easy way of telling it that you don't need WxGUI
if you're building from a prefix recipe (i.e., -R gnuradio-default).
I'm not sure why WX doesn't compile on CentOS 7, but if it fails, it'll
take down your PyBOMBS build. Since the whole point of PyBOMBS is to
take all the installation pain away, this is definitely an issue.

I've flagged wxpython as optional in gnuradio-default and
gnuradio-stable. If you run
$ pybombs recipes update

you should get the new versions and a failing WX won't crash your build.

Cheers,
Martin
