Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Error in Building UHD on Windows

[Zooz Engineer]

I think I am missing something in the build variables. What are the variables that need to be set?

Cheers,
Zo

Dear All,

I am trying to install UHD on windows from source code. I have installed the prerequisites:

cmake-2.8.10.2-win32-x86
boost_1_51_setup32
python-2.6.6
Cheetah-2.2.2.win32-py2.6
msysGit-fullinstall-1.8.1.2-preview20130201
Visual studio 2010 express

I follwowed the steps detailed here: http://files.ettus.com/uhd_docs/manual/html/build.html#build-instructions-windows. After applying the fifth step in CMake I get the following error message.

Do you have any idea why this is happening?

Thank you,

Zo
