Hi there, I pulled the next branch and tried to compile it on Mac OS X 10.8.3 with clang++. I’ve found this error: … [62%] Building CXX object gr-analog/lib/CMakeFiles/gnuradio-analog.dir/quadrature\_demod\_cf\_impl.cc.o /Users/carlesfernandez/gnuradio/gr-analog/lib/quadrature\_demod\_cf\_impl.cc:67:21: error: variable length array of non-POD element type ‘gr\_complex’ (aka ‘complex’) gr\_complex tmp[noutput\_items]; ^ 1 error generated. make[2]: \*\*\* [gr-analog/lib/CMakeFiles/gnuradio-analog.dir/quadrature\_demod\_cf\_impl.cc.o] Error 1 make[1]: \*\*\* [gr-analog/lib/CMakeFiles/gnuradio-analog.dir/all] Error 2 make: \*\*\* [all] Error 2 This error was introduced by revision beb44631, since it was not present before. It seems that in standard C++ the length of the array needs to be a compile time constant, maybe a vector could be used there. Best regards, Carles ---
