Disabling the usrp2 in configure

stedwick · September 15, 2009, 11:08pm

I’m trying to disable the configure stuff for the USRP2 by passing
–disable-usrp2 to the configure script. Unfortunately, the
usrp2/firmware script is still trying to run. This dies when I am trying
to cross compile the code. For the OMAP3, I have no gig-E so I just want
the usrp2 stuff out of the way.

What is the best way to force the usrp2 configure stuff not to run at
all? I’ve pasted the error from config.log at the bottom of the email.

configure --disable-usrp2 --disable-usrp2-firmware

OK.

From the log below it looks like you passed --disable–usrp2
(two dashes) instead of --disable-usrp2 (one dash).

What is the best way to force the usrp2 configure stuff not to run at
all? I’ve pasted the error from config.log at the bottom of the email.

Philip

If that doesn’t fix it, write again. I’ve got some more ideas.

Fixing the typo (the problem with automation, it preserves your mistakes
across runs) and adding the --disable-usrp2-firmware did not help. The
log is at the bottom of the email.

Patching out the GRC_GR_USRP2 line “solves” the problem, but I do not
want to carry this patch around anymore.

I’ll be glad to look at your suggestions in the morning!

OK, I found the root problem. Basically, in the usrp2 firmware build
process, there is a wrapper configure.gnu that unsets environment vars
and removes extra arguments to the configure used to build the firmware.
Since I am passing the USB_* vars on the command line, they upset the
configure script.

Updating configure.gnu to reomve them solves my problem. The larger
question is, should I go ahead and account for the other influential
variables listed in the help for the gnuradio configure script.

If they are well-formed, I’m not sure how this could cause a problem.
They are not referenced by anything in the firmware build. The ones
in yesterday’s logs were not well-formed; they had spaces embedded in
them and probably we’re leading to a syntax error somewhere in the
guts of configure (actually looks like the problem may be in
configure.gnu (shell quoting across shell scripts is hard to get
right.) Probably ought to rewrite configure.gnu as a python script.
That way arg handling wouldn’t be borked.)

Updating configure.gnu to remove them solves my problem. The larger
question is, should I go ahead and account for the other influential

Yes, please add these to the list:

CCAS assembler compiler command (defaults to CC)
CCASFLAGS assembler compiler flags (defaults to CFLAGS)

Already on the list:

F77 Fortran 77 compiler command
FFLAGS Fortran 77 compiler flags

I don’t think we need to remove any of these, the firmware doesn’t
look at any of them.

Let me know how it goes!
