Templates in "gr-howto-write-a-block-0.3"

GNU Radio

I have handwritten a couple of blocks in the howto
directory and am able to compile/install them.

I would like to generate versions of these blocks for
different input/output variable types, thus I have written the
appropriate template files _XX.i.t, _XX.h.t, _XX.cc.t
(I followed some examples in core/src/lib/general/)

My question is how to automate the compile and install step
to generate the appropriate code from the templates.

Thanks

Take a look at gnuradio-core/src/lib/general/Makefile.am to see how we
do it there.

FYI, this is the Makefile rule that runs the code generator:

$(GENERATED_H) $(GENERATED_I) $(GENERATED_CC): $(CODE_GENERATOR)
PYTHONPATH=$(top_srcdir)/src/python srcdir=$(srcdir)
$(srcdir)/generate_all.py

All of the $(srcdir) and $(top_srcdir) stuff is required to make this
work when doing VPATH builds. That is, builds where the source and
objects are in different directories.
