Dear Sir, How to make FTW work on gnuradio v3.6.5.1 ? In my research I need to setup a 802.11 MAC SDR. In the example published by Uwicore ( [http://www.uwicore.umh.es/mhop-software.html](http://www.uwicore.umh.es/mhop-software.html)) I have to install physical layer developed by FTW ([https://www.cgran.org/wiki/ftw80211ofdmtx](https://www.cgran.org/wiki/ftw80211ofdmtx)). Unfortunately the FTW part was written for gnuradio v3.2.2 while I am currently using gnuradio 3.6.5.1. In this case the installation of FTW halted with the following compilation error: /usr/local/include/gnuradio/swig/gnuradio.i:31: Error: Unable to find ‘gruel\_common.i’ /usr/local/include/gnuradio/swig/gr\_basic\_block.i:26: Error: Unable to find ‘pmt\_swig.i’ make[5]: \*\*\* [.deps/ftw-generate-stamp] Error 1 make[5]: Leaving directory `/home/sgku/download/ftw_80211_ofdm_tx/trunk/src/ftw' /bin/bash ../../libtool --tag=CXX --mode=compile g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../.. -I/usr/local/include/gnuradio -I/usr/local/include/gnuradio/swig -I/usr/include/python2.7 -I/usr/local/include/gnuradio -I/usr/local/include -g -O1 -Wno-strict-aliasing -Wno-parentheses -g -O2 -Wall -Woverloaded-virtual -MT _ftw_la-ftw.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/_ftw_la-ftw.Tpo -c -o _ftw_la-ftw.lo `test -f ‘ftw.cc’ || echo ‘./‘`ftw.cc libtool: compile: g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../.. -I/usr/local/include/gnuradio -I/usr/local/include/gnuradio/swig -I/usr/include/python2.7 -I/usr/local/include/gnuradio -I/usr/local/include -g -O1 -Wno-strict-aliasing -Wno-parentheses -g -O2 -Wall -Woverloaded-virtual -MT _ftw_la-ftw.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/_ftw_la-ftw.Tpo -c ./ftw.cc -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/_ftw_la-ftw.o g++: error: ./ftw.cc: No such file or directory g++: fatal error: no input files compilation terminated. make[4]: *** [_ftw_la-ftw.lo] Error 1 make[4]: Leaving directory `/home/sgku/download/ftw\_80211\_ofdm\_tx/trunk/src/ftw’ make[3]: \*\*\* [all] Error 2 make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/sgku/download/ftw_80211_ofdm_tx/trunk/src/ftw' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/sgku/download/ftw\_80211\_ofdm\_tx/trunk/src’ make[1]: \*\*\* [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/sgku/download/ftw\_80211\_ofdm\_tx/trunk’ make: \*\*\* [all] Error 2 Please advise, how to make FTW installed on gnuradio v3.6.5.1 …?

Hi, I was also trying to use that, but that is hopeless (you have to have ubuntu 9.10, USRP2 which is EOL). Instead you can use Bastians’s project [GitHub - bastibl/gr-ieee802-11: IEEE 802.11 a/g/p Transceiver](https://github.com/bastibl/gr-ieee802-11) .

For the record and the mailing list archives: libusrp2 was deprecated; the actual device (USRP2) is still supported and works with any version of UHD.
