Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Stable on Linux, many crashes on Windows and OS X

[Michael Dickens]

Hi Stefan - OK; well if "make test" worked on OSX for you then the GR install 
is probably good to go.  No guarantees.  If you uninstall your OO-MacPorts GR 
install and use gnuradio-devel, then you will should get the same results (if 
not better).  I'm not sure why you would want an OO-MacPorts GR install unless 
you wanted to change GR itself.

After tweaking "build_osx" for my setup, everything builds nicely.  Running 
"./batmon" I see an empty window and basic menus; nothing else.  I can leave it 
running (in gdb) for a long time without it crashing.  I don't know what to do 
with it otherwise.  I have an Ettus B210 hooked up.

If I select "batmon" -> "About" I see the about box, which when I close crashes 
the executable.  Looking through the code in main.cpp, BatMonFrame::OnAbout 
calls BatMonFrame::StopReceiver, which in turn calls "gr_tb->stop" even though 
gr_tb has not been initialized (I set a breakpoint where it is set, and the 
code does not get there before this call).  Probably best to check gr_tb before 
using it, just in case, in all the methods that call it.  Also, I'm not sure 
why you would stop processing -after- the about box has been closed; maybe 
beforehand makes more sense?

If you let me know what else to test, I'll try that too.  Otherwise, without 
actual functionality the basic GUI seems to "work". - MLD
