[Discuss-gnuradio] GR on MacOS X?

[Michael Dickens]

I'm a grad student at Notre Dame working on software defined radio  
projects.  My current task is to get GNU Radio and the USRP hardware  
working under MacOS X 10.4.  I thought I'd write to see if anyone  
ever got it to "work", and if so, what tricks were used beyond those  
already in the Wiki.  I am certain that I will eventually get GR to  
work, but why reinvent the wheel?  Once I do get things working, I'll  
add to the Wiki those directions directly or a link.  Thanks in  
advance for your assistance. - MLD

ps> Here is where I'm at: Using Darwinports I've gotten all of the  
background applications and libraries to compile and install, and gr- 
build also compiles and installs.  I can get the wxPython GUI to come  
up and display for certain examples, but sound does not work even  
when using 'liboss' (an OSS compatibility library) ... not a surprise  
since the gr-audio-oss wants /dev/dsp which darwin doesn't have.  I  
can run the USRP benchmark_usb example, getting a result of "Max USB/ 
USRP throughput = 4MB/sec".

For any WX example, I get a message "wxPython/wxWidgets release  
number mismatch: 1 vs 2" (I edited the file to display the numbers).   
Has anyone debugged this?  I have a feeling this is due to the  
internal version numbering versus that stored in the library's  
filename and library's internal meta-info, but haven't tracked it  
down yet.
