Hi,
I also created a custom header that derives from packet_formatter_default and this swig file works for me
https://github.com/bastibl/gr-ieee802-11/blob/master/swig/ieee802_11_swig.i
I forgot why it did it like that, but maybe it helps.
Best,
Bastian

However, SWIG is complaining about undeclared things. I duplicated the CMake and SWIG structures of gnuradio/gr-digital/swig/ for building derived classes such as gr::digital::packet_formatter_counter. Any ideas why this would not work? Thanks!

I can rely on GR_SWIG_BLOCK_MAGIC2, which is not really the right way to generate SWIG templates for a non block, or I can try to get things to work without redefining the sptr typedef in the child class. In that case, I need to include the proper header file (namely, packet_formatter_default.h) from gr-digital. Should I do that explicitly in myoot_swig.i, or is there a better way to add gr-digital to include dirs in swig/CMakeLists.txt?
