Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] USRP in Windows

[Angilberto Muniz Sb]

Kunal,

I was able to compile the C++ (basic stuff) directly
under windows (Dev-Cpp IDE). No need for the usrp*.dll
-- just a few changes in some header files.
The only .dll required is "libusb.dll".

I'm generating my waveform in Matlab or C++ and
sending it to USRP -- it works. 

Now Im trying to create my own DLL to manage the USRP
directly from Matlab.

I can give you the Dev-Cpp project if it helps...

But I cant help in integrating the compiled stuff into
Python :-(

Regards to all,

Angilberto.
