[Discuss-gnuradio] Some thoughts on out of tree modules and cmake files

[Volker Schroer]

Hi,

at the moment each out of tree module has it's one cmake/Modules path, 
containing some cmake macros, mainly copied from some gnuradio source tree.

As gnuradio development proceeds, cmake modules may be updated. It's not 
always necessary but perhaps good practice to keep the out of tree cmake 
modules in sync.

As the number of oot- modules raises that means a lot of work.

As each oot module needs a gnuradio installation , why not to install 
the complete cmake path together with gnuradio and reference these 
modules in the oot CMakeLists.txt. As far as I can see only only two 
lines in the main CMakeLists.txt file are effected.

The oot modules source would always use updated cmake files and if you 
need macros not provided by gnuradio you can still keep them with your 
module.
