Hi,

I’ve been trying out pybombs for building the latest gnuradio. I had a  
successful build at home last week, but I am having repeated failures in  
a  
test environment VM (virtualbox, ubuntu 12.04 x64).

I am running the build like this: sudo ./pybombs install gnuradio

Here’s the relevant part of the make output:

[68%] Built target gnuradio-blocks  
Linking CXX shared module \_vocoder\_swig.so  
[68%] Built target \_vocoder\_swig  
make: \*\*\* [all] Error 2

It appears that your error is not with pybombs but with building  
gnuradio.  
Can you post a bit more of the compile log?

I am trying to get you the full output. Apparently tee-ing the output  
to a  
file results in a truncated file for some reason. Do you know if there  
is  
a logging feature in pybombs? I haven’t seen one yet. In any event,  
the  
portion I posted was the full extent of the error-related output.  
Everything above had proceeded correctly. I sort of wonder if this is  
the  
-j4 make option getting in the way. It seems that pybombs is setting  
that  
by default, if I am not mistaken.

I realize the build error is with building gnuradio, but pybombs handles  
all the dependencies and manages the build process, which is why I am  
referencing it.

Very Respectfully,

Dan CaJacob

If you go into the pybombs/src/gnuradio/build directory and run “make  
-j4” you’ll replicate exactly what pybombs is doing and maybe get a hint  
of what’s up. Plus you can check if just “make” works.
