Hello everyone,

I was wondering if anyone can help me with a small issue. I want to use the tagged_file_sink block in gnuradio companion, but with a couple of additional features suitable for my application needs. So I decide to create an OOT module, and as a start simply copy-pasted the original code for the tagged_file_sink (adjusting the name of the block of course) just to see if it works before I start editing it with my own adjustments. But I get a compilation error when I use the make command.

The errors are something like: tagged_file_sink_v2_impl.cc: error: 'perror' was not declared in this scope

         perror(filename.str().c_str());

The rest of the errors I'm getting are similar to this: "'something' was not declared in this scope."

Up till now I've only used gnuradio companion, never got to delve into actual coding or making my own blocks, so more of a beginner in this area, and I'm pretty sure that I'm missing something very basic, so I hope someone can help me figure this out.

Thank you,

Best,

Ali

This is basically a C/C++ question, not GNU Radio. You're missing include files in your code. For instance, take a look at:

$ man 3 perror

It tells you that it needs "#include <stdio.h>". You'll find similar things for the other errors your having.
