Hi William,

I am not sure, if this is your issue, but it seems as your external lib is not found by your cmake. I currently dealt with including some external libraries in the gr-dab module too.

I always wrote a Find.cmake file that lets cmake find the path to your library header.

Check it out for example the FindFaad.cmake <https://github.com/kit-cel/gr-dab/blob/working_branch/cmake/Modules/FindFaad.cmake>. You can than find the package (find_package) in your CMakeLists.txt of your module and check if it was successfully found.


I hope that helps finding your issue

Luca

I have been having some difficulty successfully using external libraries in a custom OOT module that I have not been able to understand.

I have had this issue with a few different external libraries. The symptom is a segmentation fault when a function in the external library is called. The below example is just representative and a bit circular as we are going from python->c++->python.

For this example, I would like to use matplotlib within a C++ OOT module to visualize some data during the debug of my module. I understand that this is not something I would want to do within a gnu radio module during normal usage and that there are other ways to visualize the data.

I am using matplotlib.cpp (https://github.com/lava/matplotlib-cpp) for this purpose. This is simply a header file that requires linking to the python libraries.

To do this I have:

1. Included matplotlibcpp.h in my /lib folder.

2. In /lib/CMakeList.txt I have added the following:

find_package(PythonLibs 2.7)
include_directories(${Boost_INCLUDE_DIR} ${PYTHON_INCLUDE_DIRS} )
link_directories(${Boost_LIBRARY_DIRS}  ${PYTHON_LIBRARIES} )
...
target_link_libraries( gnuradio-mymodule ${Boost_LIBRARIES} ${GNURADIO_ALL_LIBRARIES} ${PYTHON_LIBRARIES})


3. Within my general_work function I have added the following (as a test only):

#include <cmath>
#include "matplotlibcpp.h"
namespace plt = matplotlibcpp;
...
general_work(...
...
      // This just creates an interesting figure to plot.
      int n = 5000;
      std::vector<double> x(n), y(n), z(n), w(n,2);
      for(int i=0; i<n; ++i) {
x.at <http://x.at>(i) = i*i;
y.at <http://y.at>(i) = sin(2*M_PI*i/360.0);
z.at <http://z.at>(i) = log(i);
      }

      plt::plot(x, y);
      plt::show();
...

I am able to build successfully but when I run my qa_XYZ.py unit test I get a segmentation fault at the plt::plot(x,y) line. removing these two plt:: lines results in no segmentation fault. I have seen this same behavior when linking with other (not python) libraries for different reasons so I am suspecting that there is some fundamental issue with how I am configuring CMakeLists.txt or what I am trying to do is not possible for some other reason.

----
The following code runs without any issues on the same machine outside of gnuradio.
--------------------------------------------------
#include <cmath>
#include "matplotlibcpp.h"

namespace plt = matplotlibcpp;

int main()
{
// Prepare data.
int n = 5000;
std::vector<double> x(n), y(n), z(n), w(n,2);
for(int i=0; i<n; ++i) {
x.at <http://x.at>(i) = i*i;
y.at <http://y.at>(i) = sin(2*M_PI*i/360.0);
z.at <http://z.at>(i) = log(i);
}

plt::plot(x, y);
plt::show();
}
--------------------------------------------------
>g++ test.cpp -I/usr/include/python2.7 -lpython2.7

Any help would be appreciated.
