Re: Using an OOT from GNU Radio Companion version 3.7.2 Today

[Jeff Long]

Pretty much any 3.7 OOT can be ported to newer versions. It can be confusing, especially for people new to the development environment. The older XML GRC files can still be read by GRC (you would want to save them off as new YML files after opening).

To get started, head to wiki.gnuradio.org and search for "porting".

For a project I am working on I need to use an Out of Tree (OOT) module from Gnu Radio Companion (GRC) version 3.7.2. However, from the googling I did, I found out that this is because GRC changed from using .xml to .yml files between when this OOT was made. I tried installing version 3.7.2 but am new to linux and ran into many problems. I also looked into porting the OOT to the modern version but it was kind of confusing and I was unable to do it and not sure if it would work even if I had a good understanding of linux. I am using Ubuntu 20.04. If anyone has any ideas to help that would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
