Hi Darin - If you want to use SDRplay, you -can- do that using MacPorts via the gr-osmosdr port: with a patch that I can provide. The SDRplay folks, at least in the recent past: (1) provide only pre-combined binaries, not source code, which need to be tweaked to work for most OS X installs includi

What Sylvain wrote is correct: if you publish your GR OOT module, then you have to choose GPLv3 or a compatible FOSS license. I believe that by default the license is GPLv3, since that's what GR is. See also < http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html > for a list of compatible (and incompatibl

[Discuss-gnuradio] ZMQ REQ / REP naming Swap?

I'm trying to work with the ZQM REQ / REP message blocks while learning about ZMQ. From their overview guide < http://zguide.zeromq.org/page:all >, they define various graphs where the interconnects are the ZMQ connections. Thus, for example, in Figure 4 "Publish-Subscribe", the PUB would be GR si

Hi Vamsi - I'm glad that fixed the issue for you. The crash happens because the OOT is being linked to a specific ABI (e.g., MacPorts Python library), while the runtime is trying to use a different API (system Python library). The libraries' ABIs are different enough to confuse Apple's dynamic libr
