I am an engineering intern at a company called Cellantenna and I just recently
installed Gnuradio 3.71. I’ve been trying to follow some tutorials online, and
I noticed that a lot of these tutorials use blocks (such as QT GUI Sink and
Variable Slider) that my program simply doesn’t have… I’ve tried to search
for some block packages such as gr-braz, but I ran into gruel errors when
trying to install. I believe this is due to the fact that I am not running 3.6.
Is there any way for me to get these blocks without writing them myself?

This is actually several different problems.

As for the QT blocks, there’s no reason for you not to have them.
Perhaps you have no QT on your machine, but in general, they’re part of
core GNU Radio. Make sure you’ve installed GR correctly (if you need
help here, please specify your OS and how you installed GR).

gr-baz, like many other projects out there, is an extension to GNU
Radio. You might not even need it. However, if you do, you only have
these options:

  • Install an old GNU Radio (then gr-baz will work)
  • Port gr-baz to 3.7 (that’s a lot of work, even for non-beginners).

to have the osmocom blocks without losing the QT blocks? Sorry if this seems
trivial, I am new to all of this.

Michael,

there’s no reason the QT blocks should vanish when you install osmo.
Can you detail the steps of how you installed GR, and then osmo.
