Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] GR standard UHD options parser module (was UHD default subdevice.)

[Michael Dickens]

GR builds on OSX just fine, with autotools or CMake.  CMake is a bit easier & 
more of the components compile correctly using it.  On OSX, the UDP stuff 
compiles just fine, but I don't think it works correctly.  I've never debugged 
it further.  Very possibly moving to Boost ASIO would solve that issue, since 
the boost folks make every reasonable effort to weed out platform-specific 
bugs. - MLD
