[Discuss-gnuradio] Building gr-uhd: .Tpo file not found/Permission denied

[Patrick Strasser]

Hello!

I just tried to build gr-uhd, and got this error:

libtool: compile:  g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../..
-I/home/past/src/gnuradio/gnuradio-core/src/lib/runtime

Seems like the file does not exist:
$ ls -1 gr-uhd/lib/.deps/
uhd_multi_usrp_sink.Plo
uhd_multi_usrp_source.Plo
uhd_single_usrp_sink.Plo
uhd_single_usrp_source.Plo

What I did:
===========
Build UHD acording to the UHD Manual[1].

The UHD wiki[2] says I should take the "next" branch:
git branch --track next origin/next
git checkout next

Then I pulled the last changes:
git pull

Built gnuradio:

./bootstrap && ./configure --disable-gr-sounder --disable-gr-trellis
--disable-gr-video-sdl --disable-gr-radio-astronomy --disable-usrp2
--disable-gr-usrp2 --disable-gr-atsc --disable-gr-msdd6000
--disable-gr-gsm-fr-vocoder --disable-gr-noaa --disable-gr-pager
--disable-gr-radar-mono  --disable-gr-gpio --disable-gr-cvsd-vocoder
--disable-gr-audio-jack  --disable-gr-audio-oss
--disable-gr-audio-portaudio  --disable-gr-gpio && make

configure did not report any errors AFAIKS. About gr-uhd it says:
checking for UHD... yes
Component gr-uhd passed configuration checks; building.

I googled for the error message, and found something about quoting
problems in automake 1.9[3], but the paths and filenames seem to be not
exotic or worth quoting.

What I use:

Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick amd64 with some mixed-in Debian unstable

$ libtool --version
ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 2.2.6b

$ automake --version
automake (GNU automake) 1.11.1

$ git name-rev --name-only HEAD
next

$ git describe
v3.3.1git-831-gbb438e7

UHD version is
0001.20101231183142.b4d58f3
UHD:
$ git log |head -n 3
commit b4d58f3501596fdddf240d576d0b1b2cb5862892
Author: Nick Foster <address@hidden>
Date:   Fri Dec 31 10:31:42 2010 -0800

Maybe I'm on the wrong branch?

Regards

Patrick
