Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] WXGUI blocks

[Michael Dickens]

Hi Herb - If you installed GR via MacPorts, then by default the wxgui is not 
installed. You have to manually select it for installation via adding the 
variant +wxgui to the install command line, e.g., "sudo port install gnuradio 
+wxgui". I disabled this variant a while ago [*] because: (1) wxgui is going 
away with the 3.8 release; (2) not a lot of OOT modules use it, instead using 
Qt which is so much better; and (3) wxPython was having build issues & I had an 
open ticket for a bit waiting for those to be resolved, which wasn't going to 
happen any time soon, so instead I just disabled wx in GR. At least in my 
testing, installing per the above with +wxgui still works & provides the wx GR 
interface. Hope this helps! - MLD
