[Discuss-gnuradio] GRC 3.7.11 on Windows crashes python.exe

[Martijn Scale]

Trying to use a HackRF One with GNU Radio on Windows 10 (64-bits), installed from gnuradio_3.7.11_win64.msi.

When using osmocom Source and executing the flow graph, execution halts with message: python.exe has stopped working. GRC remains alive.

Crashes happen both with WX and QT. The HackRF One module is put into Receive mode (Rx Led of HackRF One is on).

 

GNU Radio, GRC, Hack RF and computer do work as expected with the GNURadioLiveDVD.

 

Debugging shows: Unhandled exception at 0x00007FFCCDDD3CCB (hackrf.dll) in python.exe: 0xC000001D: Illegal Instruction.

Additional info from Event Viewer:

Your support is highly appreciated (I tried building GNU Radio from sources, which failed as “gr-newmod/CMakeLists.txt was not found and is required”, but I decided not to pursue the building path any further as it exceeds my knowledge).
