Before I try and compile my own code, however, I am simply trying to compile an unmodified gr_interleaved_short_to_complex block by adapting the build scripts in gr-how-to-write-a-block. And while many of the necessary modifications are obvious (such as replacing instances of "howto_square_ff.h" with "gr_interleaved_short_to_complex.h"), plenty more are not obvious (such as how to modify src/lib/Makefile.swig.gen). I really can't express how frustrating this is- I only need to compile four small source files. The problem is that there is just alot going on in the build and I really don't understand most if it. Compounding the problem is that the aforementioned tutorial does not go in to this at all. Thanks, Jordan
