gqrx Mac OSX error report

[nr0q (Matthew Chambers)]

I'm told on the gqrx email group that

gr::log is a GNU Radio component so the error is not in gqrx itself.

so this ticket might need to be reassigned to the gnuradio port

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

Interesting. What does "port installed" return for you?

[kencu (Ken)]

I wonder if this is connected to this error <​https://trac.macports.org/ticket/53187#comment:8> running gnu radio, also in the log section.

[nr0q (Matthew Chambers)]

It's the same error. I hadn't looked at it as closely before :(

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

I'm asking to move the discussion from #53187 comment 8 & forward to here. That ticket was about not building; this is a runtime issue.

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

I'm getting close to having a Mac OS X 10.7.5 install for testing. Out of curiosity, how do folks install volk? GCC provided with Xcode for that MacOS X version fail to build it, so I ended up installing and using clang 3.4. I'll revisit this volk issue once I get this ticket fixed.

[kencu (Ken)]

I upgrade all my machines to libc++ -- part of the LibcxxOnOlderSystems instructions lead you to install clang-3.7 (or clang-3.8) and set that as the default compiler. Once you do that, many things, including volk, will just install without special attention. For example, volk installed on 10.6 without any attention from me:

$ port -v installed volk
The following ports are currently installed:
  volk @1.3_0+docs+orc platform='darwin 10' archs='x86_64'

If you want my opinion, macports should just insist all users follow those instructions, and set the buildbots up to that as well. The installation of libc++ and defaulting to clang-3.7 or newer fixes a great many issues with installs on the older systems that then need no further attention.

[kencu (Ken)]

I also made a very tiny patch in clang-3.7, clang-3.8, and clang-3.9 to make them default to adding stdlib=libc++ instead of stdlib=libstdc++ if no stdlib was specified, on all systems. The patch is available in my github SnowLeopardPorts repo for anyone interested in trying it.

This little change has solved tons of problems on these older systems by making them match the behaviour of all the newer ( > 10.8 ) systems, to which most of the current portfiles have been written.

However it is not default behaviour, and so Jeremy is not keen on this for general use at present. I have to say, though, for users of these old systems, all which need to have libc++ installed to allow clang-3.7+ to run, it does seem to me to be a pretty sweet fix. But I defer to Jeremy here, of course.

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

OK. I finally coerced the various GR ports to install. I had to "install gr-osmosdr -sdrplay -soapysdr", since those don't work for various reasons. I had to use "configure.compiler=macports-clang-3.4" for a few ports, but on the whole things worked. For the Gqrx port, I also had to insert "set qt_name qt5" just before "PortGroup qmake5 1.0" to get dependencies to work. Quite a PITA.

I'm using gnuradio-devel, volk-devel, uhd-devel, and gqrx-devel. I don't see this issue. It is possible that when not using the devel versions this issue pops up. IIRC, logging was tweaked in gnuradio-devel & is not tweaked in the latest release -- this will obviously be fixed with the next release, but it isn't yet.

My recommendation is to try gnuradio-devel & gqrx-devel & see if this problem goes away. on my end I'll try the non-devel port versions & see if I can replicate this issue using those.

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

Is this ticket still an issue?

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

I'm closing this ticket since Gqrx and GNU Radio have both progressed significantly. If I am mistaken, then please reopen and attach logs showing the issue.
