I have been using version 3.1.3 for a while now, but have recently
configured a new PC and installed 3.2.2 (packaged with Ubuntu).
Unfortunately my code does not compile on the new system because of a
change in the API - the return value of the “make” function in
“usrp_standard_rx” has changed to a shared pointer.
I need to be able to maintain my program for both old and new systems
and I’ve been looking for a version constant that I can use for
conditional compilation.
Unfortunately I’ve had no luck - I guess I’m using the wrong keywords in
my searches. Does anyone know how to find out the Gnu Radio version at
compile time?
Thanks,
Peter

Peter,
You can find the version information in
$(top_builddir)/gnuradio-core/gnuradio-core.pc. This is filled in with
the
information in $(top_srcdir)/version.sh. Where top_builddir is where you
are
building the project, and top_builddir = top_srcdir if you are building
in
the same directory that contains the source code.

In addition to compile time, in the >= 3.3 API we added a way to ask
this at
runtime via the gr.version() call in Python and gr_version() function
from
C++.
(I know you’re not using the 3.3 API yet, but it will be another option
for
you when you update your application.)
The approach that I used is similar, but I thought I’d mention it
because it
only relies on the installation and not on having the source code (I’m
using
a Ubuntu package). The newer version supports the UHD drivers and there
is
an install directory for the headers, so I added the following to my
makefile:
USRP_API_VERSION=$(shell if test -d /usr/local/include/uhd ; then echo
NEW_USRP_API ; else echo OLD_USRP_API ; fi
I used the USRP_API_VERSION variable in a “-D” compiler option.
Thanks for the suggestions, which led to the solution I adopted.
