[Discuss-gnuradio] GRC running on Mac OS X 10.6.4 using GTK+ Quartz 32bit Carbon backend

[Elvis Dowson]

Hi,
        After much effort, I've managed to get a good portion of GNU Radio 
running on Mac OS X 10.6.4, using its native Carbon interface, and bypassing 
the X11 windows. 

This was done from scratch manually, from the source files, and I've documented 
it. It was necessary to do this, to explore various options, like the 64-bit 
Cocoa parts, which still need some work. I learnt quite a bit of the 
limitations and interdependencies, doing this.

Here is a screenshot of grc running with GTK+ using the quartz backend.

This is the status so far.

*********************************************************************
The following GNU Radio components have been successfully configured:

config
gruel
gnuradio-core
gr-msdd6000
gr-audio-osx
gr-atsc
gr-cvsd-vocoder
gr-gsm-fr-vocoder
gr-noaa
gr-pager
gr-radio-astronomy
gr-video-sdl
gr-wxgui
gnuradio-examples
grc
gr-uhd

You my now run the make command to build these components.

*********************************************************************
The following components were skipped either because you asked not
to build them or they didn't pass configuration checks:

gcell
usrp
usrp2
vrt
gr-usrp
gr-usrp2
gr-gcell
gr-audio-alsa
gr-audio-jack
gr-audio-oss
gr-audio-portaudio
gr-audio-windows
gr-comedi
gr-gpio
gr-radar-mono
gr-trellis
gr-qtgui
gr-sounder

These components will not be built.

Best regards,
