Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] About how to write c++ based signal processing block

[Adeel Anwar]

Hi Martin,

i have used gr_modtool.py to create custom blocks and all these new blocks are working fine. Thanks to u for this good utility.

I have python/gnuradio installed on two machines. Same version of gr_modtool.py (downloaded yesterday) works fine on one but on second machine, it creates new module but when we try to add some block,  it exits with following error. 

address@hidden:~/Desktop/blocks$ gr_modtool.py newmod mydsp
Module directory is "./gr-mydsp".

Done.
Use 'gr_modtool add' to add a new block to this currently empty module.
address@hidden:~/Desktop/blocks$ cd gr-mydsp/

Sure that's OK.
You can also use gr_modtool.py (available at https://cgran.org/wiki/devtools)
which does all the Makefile editing for you.

If you're using the autotools version of howto-write-a-block (which
apparently you are), you need the older version.
