Hi,  
I am installing GNURadio on a virtual maed from iso file. When i am  
installing the gnu radio by the script  
wget [http://www.sbrac.org/files/build-gnuradio](http://www.sbrac.org/files/build-gnuradio) && chmod a+x  
./build-gnuradio && ./build-gnuradio --verbose  
The installation is stopped at biulding, the message is as follows  
Scanning dependencies of target \_blocks\_swig  
[62%] Building CXX object  
gr-blocks/swig/CMakeFiles/\_blocks\_swig.dir/blocks\_swigPYTHON\_wrap.cxx.o

That’s just a warning, it shouldn’t cause  
the build to fail.

Yeah, as Marcus said, that’s just a warning. Just let it continue to  
run, it’s building the huge swig file for gr-blocks at that stage.
