sdcc 3.0.0_0 downgrade to sdcc 2.9.0_0

[mostafa.mabrouk.khedr@…]

I am installing gnu_radio 3.3.0 and i am facing problem to configure the usrp 3.3.0 with sdcc, but i found out that i had to make the active version 2.9.0_0 and when i type

sudo port installed sdcc

i only find the the 3.0.0_0 and when i tried the following vcn solution:

sudo port install subversion svn co -r 57740  http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/trunk/dports/lang/sdcc cd sdcc sudo port install sudo port activate sdcc @2.9.0_0 cd .. svn co -r 71210  http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/trunk/dports/science/usrp cd usrp sudo port install

i faced an the following errors

test:macports mostafamabrouk$ sudo port install subversion svn co -r 57740  http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/trunk/dports/lang/sdcc cd sdcc sudo port install sudo port activate sdcc @2.9.0_0 cd .. svn co -r 71210  http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/trunk/dports/science/usrp cd usrp sudo port install

Any suggestion to have the USRP functioning on my mac :)

Michael, thoughts on usrp in this situation? Does it have an upgrade on the way? If not, and it must use an old sdcc, I'd like to give you ownership so you can update them in tandem.

I'd think projects so closely related (usrp is only port using sdcc) would be updating together...

USRP requires SDCC 2.[4-9]; 3.0+ won't work with it. GNU Radio folks have talked about adding pre-compiled files to the distro, so that SDCC isn't required -- but that hasn't happened yet & I don't know if/when it will. Hence, it's probably a good idea to have SDCC available for USRP for the time being. I'd suggest naming the port 'sdcc29' and having it install into ${prefix}/libexec so-as to not compete at all with the 'sdcc' port. If that works for you, then I'll create it & take ownership as well.

Please also note that this ticket is a duplicate of #27429.

Sure, I'd say use svn to make copy of the previous sdcc as sdcc29.
