Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Install GNU Radio 3.6.4 on MacOSX with package conflicting warnings

[Michael Dickens]

Hi Albert - GNU Radio (et.al.) will work with QWT 5.1 or later, including 5.2 
or 6.0 (in theory; configuration using 6.0 didn't work the last time I tried, 
but I could coerce binaries to work after linking with 5.2 and then changing 
DYLD loading to 6.0).  I know of no specific port requirements for QWT (5.1; I 
might be wrong), and qwt52 is (IMO) more stable / better option.  I have all of 
these installed and passing check/test using qwt52, so it can be done.

Probably the best way to do this is to uninstall all of the SDR ports 
(gnuradio, rtl-sdr, others), then also uninstall qwt and py27-pyqwt.  Now, 
install qwt52 (defaults are probably OK: "sudo port install qwt52") and then 
py27-pyqwt ("sudo port install py27-pyqwt").  Now install gnuradio (+variants), 
rtl-sdr, and others.

If you want to discuss in more detail, email me off list. - MLD
