[Discuss-gnuradio] gr-fec

[Cinaed Simson]

There appears to be a bug in version 3.7.11 of gr-fec.

I was on poking around on my netbook this weekend - trying to run some
polar grc examples - but I couldn't load any of the polar flow graphs -
they would hang the grc - I had to kill grc to get out.

But

  make test

ran without any errors.

I tried running

  qa_polar_decoder_sc.py

but it gave me the

  ImportError: No module named fec_swig

To make a long story, in order for me to get

  qa_polar_decoder_sc.py

to run - plus a couple of other scripts which were needed, I had to
replace

   import fec_swig as fec

with

  from gnuradio import fec
  import _fec_swig as fec_swig

I did a find on

  <root>/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gnuradio

and located the following files

  fec_swig.py
  _fec_swig.so

and then played around with them until I got it to work.
