Problems to create a new OOT module using gr_modtool in a pybombs instalation of Gnuradio

GNU Radio
1

Hello,

I tried to create a module in the Gnuradio v3.7.6.1 installed by pybombs
using gr_modtool. But the module didn’t appear in the gnuradio module
list.
I verified if something it was wrong during the creation of the block,
but it wasn’t.

So after a long time, I noticed that the .xml files of the new module it
was created in a different folder.
In my case I install gnuradio in the folder: //usr/local/src, where I
put the pybombs files and install, and the .xml files usually are
located in: //usr/local/src/target/share/gnuradio/grc/blocks. But the
new module .xml files was created in:
//usr/local/share/gnuradio/grc/blocks.

Because of that, my new module didn’t appear in the gnuradio module
list.
So, I copy the .xml files to the correctly folder and n more problems
with that.

But, I would like if there are another solution to that.
Do you have any idea ?

Thanks,

Thanks,

You’ve set two different prefixes for GNU Radio and your OOT project, so
they were installed into different locations. That’s fine, but you’ll
need
to setup your system to handle it. For the GRC problem, you can take a
look
here:

http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/GNURadioCompanion#Installing-the-XML-Block-Definition

That gives you different ways to tell GRC where to find blocks. You
might
find yourself needing to add to your PATH, PYTHONPATH, and
LD_LIBRARY_PATH
env. variables (you can find this in the environmental setup script
generated from pybombs’ ‘env’ command).
