Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] XCode / SDCC Intel-Mac issue

[Jan Schiefer]

Michael,

thank you for doing an excellent piece of detective work to get to the 
source of this issue! Well done! I'll be at ND for "The Game" next 
weekend, and if you happen to go there too, I'd like to buy you a hot dog!

I have another surprising data point to add to this whole thing: I just 
updated all the darwinports stuff on my wife's Macbook Pro. I rebuilt 
the world, and guess what, the USRP code builds and runs just fine on 
that machine with SDCC 2.6! This is with XCode 2.2.1. I seem to have 
gotten the lucky release. Maybe not all the 2.2.1s are the same 
(different gcc builds or something)? Mine came from the DVD in the box.

Anyway, thanks for all the time you sank into this. At least now 
everybody should be able to build a working USRP image on any of the 
Intel Macs, and that's what matters.

Cheers,
   Jan
