Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Problem installing GR via pybombs on fresh load

[Garver, Paul W]

Well, since SWIG just wraps the C++ API into Python, it isn’t really required. 
The bigger issue to me is essentially a pybombs feature request. It would be 
nice if you could clearly see which GR modules are enabled/disabled, or force 
Pybombs to quit if certain dependencies aren’t met to build a particular module.

This happens all the time in SDR builds since people need many different 
configurations. The user should be able to specify required GR modules in the 
recipe somehow, or at least have a verbose information statement about that 
module not having dependencies met.
