Cygwin Python Import Error

GNU Radio
1

I had an old version of GNURadio installed on my cygwin setup, but
decided to get the current development version in the svn repository.

After checking it out, bootstrapping, configuring and starting a make

  • I had an error where the linker complained about omnithread being
    made into a static library and not shared followed by a whole bunch of
    missing omnithread declarations.

I got around this by doing --enable-shared=omnithread at configure,
and it went past that point. Once the build was successful, I went
and did an make install and tried to run python and import gr. Here
are the results:

$ python
Python 2.4.3 (#1, May 18 2006, 07:40:45)
[GCC 3.3.3 (cygwin special)] on cygwin
Type “help”, “copyright”, “credits” or “license” for more information.

from gnuradio import gr

ImportError: No module named _gnuradio_swig_py_runtime

I have 2 files in /usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/gnuradio/gr
with the name _gnuradio_swig_py_runtime - one an ar archive and the
other a libtool library file.

After this error, I went and tried make check and I fail with the error:

make check-TESTS

I really have no idea what’s going on, so any help would be appreciated.

This has the same effect as --enable-shared=no, which won’t work. (The
documentation on the --enable-shared option is misleading.)

As expected, no .dll files are produced when --enable-shared is turned
off.

When the omnithread library was made into a separate module, some magic
needed to make it work on windows was omitted. These are supplied in
the
attached .patch files (to use: cd gnuradio; patch -p0 -i foo.patch).
Rerun
./bootstrap and ./config after applying the patches. See ticket #138 at
www.gnuradio.org/trac for more details.

I tried the patches, but was still unsuccessful. I went to the 3.0.2
release and that works fine. Thanks for the insight as to why svn was
not working properly.
