Have the windows port up and running using the method below but I have a
few questions.
Found Josh B.'s directions for install the GNU Radio windows here:
http://code.ettus.com/redmine/ettus/projects/uhd/wiki/GNURadio_Windows
Downloaded GNU Radio Binary from
herehttp://files.ettus.com/binaries/gnuradio/gnuradio_2012-04-05/gnuradio_3.5.2.1-32-g7e3f4b84_Win32.exe
.
Downloaded UHD install from
herehttp://files.ettus.com/binaries/uhd_stable/releases/uhd_003.004.000-release/uhd_003.004.000-release_Win32.exe
.
Followed the whole install process using Python 2.7 and all x86 versions
of
the python dependencies and everything loads up great!
Reading some old posts I think someone was looking for a PyQwt version
that
worked with Python2.7, found this
herehttp://ftp.esrf.fr/pub/bliss/PyQt4.Qwt5-5.2.1.win32-py27.exe,
from
this forum post:

However, it seems like certain GNU Radio packages are missing from the
3.5.2.1 windows install, mainly the Funcube (gr-fcd) and Audio
(gr-audio).
Is there still development going for gnuradio under windows? Or is there
an
easy way to build these into my current gnuradio installation without
having to build the whole thing using cmake and Visual Studio?
Our lab currently has a Funcube and are looking to purchase a USRP (for
use
in satellite tracking operations). We wanted to understand the software
side gnuradio with the FCD before making this purchase and windows would
be
easier due to the way our current ground station is setup.
Any help would be appreciated, we can roll over to Linux but this
would introduce different challenges.
Thanks

Cool. I will have to check it out. Do the pyqwt sliders work?

Well FCD isnt part of a release yet (not on the maint branch). But,
audio should always pass configuration check, so I am surprised that its
missing.
It would be useful if more of the components of gr were like volk, which
can also build stand-alone. But since they are not, you really have to
build the whole tree or customize the component’s cmakelists so it can
build standalone.

Release 3.5.2.1 does not contain the gr-fcd top-level component. It
was added to the master branch for 3.5.3, which is going to be
released shortly.
But gr-audio should work fine in either release.

Drat, misread the version numbers that explains gr-fcd, still no luck on
gr-audio though unless it ended up in a different place somehow.
Pretty new to gnuradio, currently have a the dial_tone.grc working with
an
output to a wave file and that’s about it.
If sliders mean moving the blocks around the horizontal and vertical
axis
with the mouse if so than that’s a no, if they’re something else then
I’m
not sure, still reading up on gnuradio material now that it’s working. I
started by trying to get it running in cygwin (huge headache) thanks for
the awesome windows binaries Josh!
easy_install did not work failed the compile, the link for lxml
definitely
did.
Thanks

Yea, theres definitely still kinks to “iron out”. The audio stuff seems
to actually be missing from the installer. That will be an interesting
one to figure out…
I should have been more specific about the slider. My head is somewhere
else. So, Ive had trouble getting a good installer for pyqwt. The one of
the main website might be ok, but its python26. So, I have found random
ones on the internet. But, I have only found one that actually works
(makes it past the import statement). Unfortunately, the sliders were
messed up (missing API calls). I think you might have re-discovered that
installer (or possibly a better one):
If you open GRC, change the flowgraph type to QTGUI, and try to generate
with a qtgui slider (I think this is called the qtgui range block), do
you get an error at flowgraph runtime?
FWIW, I was able to get past this qwt issue by building pyqwt from
source. I just wish I knew an easy way to package it though…
In regards to cygwin… you may have more luck with a native build IMHO.
I think cygwin is more of a haste, particularly if you want some of the
GUI stuff. Anyway MSVC 2010 express is free, and I have heard of people
having success with these instructions here:

Also: Did the easy install of lxml work for you? I ask because I heard a
report of the easy install compile failing. Thats why I posted the
alternative link – I’m still trying to get the instructions 100%
