Yep, my bad on UHD, used to doing git builds and seeing 3.10. Cool yeah
gqrx would be the priority, baz is just a nice to have (and its a bit dated
as its all in WX which seems to be going the route of deprecation).
So for some feedback, I installed the binaries and everything seems to work
good. Hooked up the UHD and was able to receive a decent sample rate
without issue. Only small issue is was a popup on first run that said:

"The xterm executable 'xterm' is missing.

You can change this setting in your gnuradio.conf, in section [grc],
'xterm_executable'.

(This message is shown only once)"

Which is understandable, as xterm is not built.  Anyway, after clicking ok
everything works.

On the build side, first off, I'll say while I'm quite proficient on the
Linux side, on the windows side I'm pretty noobish, so the first errors I
received (missing io.h header, among other errors), appeared to be due to
me having old VS 2012 only half removed which confused 14.. Anywho, after
figuring that out and cleaning it up everything went good till the WX
python build. But first I'll throw in that I did install VS2014 into an
alternate path, this caused several issues with checks, I ended up creating
the windows equivalent of a symlink (or maybe multi-disk hardlink, think
its called a junction) and that solved that issue, but also the scripts ask
for a location to place its build files, I tried I:/gr-build but received
errors where directories in C:/gr-build were missing, I just symlinked
C:/gr-build to I:/gr-build and things seemed fine. I only bring it up since
the build scripts asked for a location. Perhaps it was something I did as I
first ran setup.ps1 before I saw the ~RUNME_FIRST.ps1. Anyway, back to the
WX error:

Got the error "Validation Failed,
C:/gr-build\src-stage2-python\gr-python27\lib\site-packages\wx-3.0-msw\wx\_core_.pyd
was not found and is required" which seems to just be a sanity check that
something we expected to build was not(i did independently verify its not
there, theres no wx* in site-packages), I've uploaded the log for
wx-python[1], let me know if you need any more info.

The build appears to stop there. Not sure where to go with debugging as
there appears to be no error, only some warnings? I'm also not familiar
with wheel, though one would assume it produces the whl installer files. I
did test removing the WX block and Step4 runs to completion. So it appears
to be something with WX. I did see in the comments something about debug
builds not working correctly,  and there's a workaround. For completeness,
I went ahead and commented out the Verify line and all builds (AVX,
ReleaseDLL, Debug ) appear to generate this same log (except for folder
names and such), and all do not generate the appropriate pyd file.

Any ideas what could be wrong? Or maybe whats special about wx as compared
to the other python modules? If it was a bunch I would suspect something in
my env may just be incorrect(Which, very well may be the case), but it
seems just that one library.

P.S. I did just try to bypass it for debugging purposes, but I ended up
with a different error on the consolidation step(not with WX) but lets take
those one at a time.

Also, if you want, I can take this to github/issues.
