Hello all,

Yesterday I did a gnuradio update (./pybombs update) and noticed my  
version  
went back a minor version. I had been using 3.7.8 and now I’m using  
3.7.7.1.

I’ve created flowgraphs using 3.7.8 that are not working with 3.7.7.1. I  
don’t get any debug information, I click the play button and it sits  
there  
and then exits with code -8.

I’m wondering what happened. I know I didn’t do anything special to get  
3.7.8, but now I’d like to get it back. Can someone advise me on how to  
do  
this.

Thanks,  
Rich

I’m suspecting a drift in the space-time continuum. Or did you enter a  
blue box by any chance that was bigger on the inside than on the  
outside? 😃

Sci-fi aside, 3.7.8 is not yet released, but our master branch is  
versioned 3.7.8git (more precisely: v3.7.7.1-131-g71ab508d / 3.7.8git).

This might be this again:

Install latest HEAD from master.

I can’t explain how it happened Martin. I can not comment on the blue  
box,  
they won’t let me…

Joking aside, I don’t know how it happened. Prior to yesterday, with GRC  
open, when I went to help-\>about it told me I was using 3.7.8. I’ve had  
access to things like the new correlation estimator block and modulate  
vector block, which I understand are 3.7.8 toys from previous mailing  
list  
conversations I’ve had. Correct me if I’m wrong. Now help-\>about shows  
3.7.7.1.

Pybombs handles the typical problems the link you posted addresses, like  
compile order and re-compiling in general. It uninstalled both uhd and  
gnuradio and then re-installed them both. Older flowgraphs work, but the  
ones using modulate vector and correlation estimator don’t. I do have  
some  
custom blocks in those flowgraphs, would I need to re-build all custom  
blocks after an update?

Is it possible pybombs pointed to 3.7.8 by mistake for a day or two at  
some  
point, which happened to be when I last updated? How would I tell  
pybombs  
to install master HEAD, or are you recommending a git pull on gnuradio  
directly?

You might not, but if ABI breaks, things go bad.

Maybe…? I don’t know. Anyway, I suggest since you’re getting into GR  
development and all that you simply build by hand the branch you need  
(i.e. master) and you should be fine.

Cheers,  
Martin
