Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] The Mystery Deepens: GNU Radio on Intel-Mac
I tested on my macbook with XCode 2.3. I installed libusb 0.1.12_0 with darwinports and got the latest GNURadio code. Starting the benchmark_usb.py failed as before. So no luck here.

There is an uninstaller provided on the disk image; you'll (for some unknown reason) need to reboot after either the uninstall or the reinstall. Your trying 2.4 would certainly add an interesting data point to the investigation. - MLD On Oct 6, 2006, at 3:46 AM, Jan Schiefer wrote: I am still on XCode 2.3 and will now definitely refrain from upgrading, for now.

That's good to know ... I certainly won't update the MacBook Pro (MBP) to 2.4 just yet. I've done more testing and am getting closer. I'll email again once I have a better handle one the actual issue(s). Right now, I can say with -certainty- that it's something to do with the USRP Firmware (generated file: .../usrp/firmware/src/usrp2/std.ihx ) and SDCC, but not LIBUSB; it might also involve XCode (gcc and related developer tools), but that relationship is not yet clearly defined. I'm trying to get access to the working MBP for further testing on its specific installed toolbase. More as the investigation continues. - MLD ___ Discuss-gnuradio mailing list Discuss-gnuradio@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnuradio

Hi Michael I have XCode 2.2.1 on my macbook and the USRP is not working. I agree, this is very, very strange..

Thanks Michael, I am still on XCode 2.3 and will now definitely refrain from upgrading, for now. I can probably be talked into deliberately breaking my working MBP install by upgrading for testing purposes. shiver / Cheers, Jan Michael Dickens wrote: * I can easily show on our brand new 20 Intel-iMac that a recent (Wednesday) SVN checkout of GNU Radio will compile, check, and install, but USB transport doesn't work.
