Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Pybombs Prefix and Modtool

[Richard Bell]

The OOT is not installed by Pybombs, because its my own custom OOT that I made after using Pybombs. With this understanding Martin, would you agree I need to do what Ron said to make custom OOTs work?

If you're using PyBOMBS to install both GNU Radio and the OOT into the
same prefix, this is already happening. Also, once you've sourced
setup_env.sh, GRC_BLOCKS_PATH is also set. Are you mixing prefixes? I'm
not sure I fully understand your setup.

Cheers,
Martin
