Expanding Include header files for OOT GNU Radio Block

[AshitakaLax]

Hi I've been looking into the GNU radio block support. specifically with the gr-pothos. Specifically the Utility Assumptions https://github.com/pothosware/gr-pothos/wiki#utility-assumptions

• There is a library called libgnuradio-foo.so
• Headers are installed to include/gnuradio/foo/*.h
• GRC files are installed to share/gnuradio/grc/blocks/foo_*.xml

When I install a new OOT module for gnu radio, via pybombs or manually, it is placed in appropriate prefix directory. Whether /usr/local/, ~/prefix/, or whatever. Some of the OOT Headers are installed in different Directories.

e.g. gr-ccsds(https://github.com/lofaldli/gr-ccsds) It has the following

• [x] There is a library called libgnuradio-ccsds.so
• [ ] Headers are installed to include/ccsds/*.h (Doesn't match up with Assumptions)
• [x] GRC files are installed to share/gnuradio/grc/blocks/ccsds_ccsds*.xml

I'm not sure if there is a way to specify the header_path manually from the cmake build. Or to scan additional include paths.

Thanks

Thanks for the info, ccsds sounds like a good target use case. I was thinking of expanding the CMakeLists (and GrPothosUtil.py) to take a list of additional projects like -DADDITIONAL_PROJECTS="ccsds;others;somemore" The cmake code will search both the gnuradio install prefix and the current CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX and include/${name}/*.h and include/gnuradio/${name}/*.h formats. As long as the additional projects are explicit, we dont have to search the entire include/* directories :-)

That sounds great.
