Hello there, I finaly decided to upgrade to GNURadio 3.9 and decided to build everything from source because precompiled versions outthere didn't include everything I needed
I knew there would be pain, I just didn't knew how much til I started tinkering with it
So I a fresh Windows 11 install and installed all the prerequisites for my build enviroment (to not disturb my precious work computer running windows 7 and gnuradio3.7 install until I make 3.9 work on it)
Visual studio 2019
Python 3.9 x64
Git
Cmake
Perl (to build QT5)
Boost 1.75
CyAPI:(for LimeSDR)
SDRplayAPIv3 (to build gr-sdrplay)
then I started to build all the prerequsites
pthreads (sdr hw libs), libusb (sdr hw libs), zeromq (gr-zeromq), cppzmq (gr-zeromq)
portaudio (gr-audio), qt5 (gnuradio), qwt (gr-qtgui), faac (gr-drm)
faad2 (gr-drm), cppunit (gnuradio), gsl (gnuradio), libxml2 (libiio)
pybind11 (gnuradio), log4cpp (gnuradio), gmp (gnuradio), libsndfile (gr-blocks)
I also opted to install some prebuilt stuff (just because it was easier then to compile them):
zadig (prebuilt executable), boost (prebuilt runtime dlls), fx3 (prebuilt static libs), swig (prebuilt generator),
fftw (prebuilt runtime dlls), SDL 1.2 (prebuilt runtime dlls), liquiddsp (prebuilt runtime dlls)
which built fine
then it was hardware build part
## osmo-sdr
## rtl-sdr
## bladerf
## hackrf
## uhd/usrp
## airspy
## airspy-hf+
## mirisdr
## libiio (plutosdr)
## libad9361 (plutosdr)
which also built fine
then after waiting about 10 hours for every prerequisite to eather install or build it was finaly gnuradio built part
this is what I mean by gnuradio part
## volk
## gnuradio
## gr-osmosdr
## gqrx
## gr-sdrplay3
## volk -- builds fine
## gr-sdrplay3 -- builds fine
even gnuradio builds fine
this is how I built it (incase it matters)

I hope this this variables don't confuse anyone, but they are properly set on my system
this gnuradio build-process is also part of a larger script because building this by hand would probably take more then 12hours (it already took to this point) (as you would have to be physically present instead of ordering a computer to do it while you do something else, also
"^" does the same thing on windows as does "\" on linux (it allows you to split command to multiple lines if anyone wonders why there is
"^" at the end of every line instead of more usual "\")
this was all going great, but then it was GROsmoSDR part ....
started to build

BTW: -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo
and then it went donwhill :(
it seams it wants BindingGenerator from GNURadio.bindtool
but I checked there is nothing like that anywhere on my system (I checked where gr python binding normaly reside
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX\lib\python3.9\site-packages\gnuradio\gr
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX can be different for everyone in my case its C:\GnuRadio
now What is
GNURadio.bindtool and where can I find it?
It seams people managed to build GROsmoSDR on windows with GNURadio 3.9 awhile ago:
https://osmocom.org/issues/5021 because there is GRConda, official gnuradio prebuild installer and even Pothos one
so I have to be doing something wrong, I hope someone has any idea how to fix my gnuradio problems :)
and I cannot use prebuilt binaries because they don't include what GNURadio 3.7 does (
)
so to bring my 3.9 install to a state 3.7 is in right now I would need a built enviroment at some point anyway, so why not start early :)
Thanks for reading this long post, I hope I didn't confuse to much people
