OS X 10.6, x86-64 built from GIT fails at 'make check'

GNU Radio

Hi,

I am trying to build and install gnuradio from GIT repository on my OS
X 10.6. After issuing the standard git pull, ./bootstrap, ./configure,
and make, I run ‘make check’, but it fails early on without providing
much insight to what is wrong. I tried to do it on two other machines
with the same OS version and it fails in the same place. By default it
compiles to x86-64, could that be the problem, should I change that to
i386? Is there any log file that would include more details on the
error?

Thanks,
Jakub

Hi Jakub - “make check” fails in the same way for me. IDK what’s
changed recently … I’ll look into it by the end of the week; maybe
someone else has more time right now?

The issue is in
“gnuradio-core/src/filter/qa_gri_fir_filter_with_buffer_ccc.cc”. The
ERR_DELTA is set to 1e-5, which for some reason is too tight for OSX (at
least 10.6.4 x86_64); when I change this value to 1e-4, the test passes.
Since gnuradio.org is down, I can’t check to see if this value or file
was changed recently. - MLD

Yes; looks like that directory (and file) was updated 12 days ago
(commit 4a3fb7eb7481177ae35bb98307a1845a7304d97e ). Maybe that change
holds the key? - MLD

Thank you Michael for your efforts. Would that mean it is just an
issue with the test, not with the gnuradio compilation itself?
