[Discuss-gnuradio] modifying how-to-write-a-block 3.2.2

[Affan Syed]

Hello all,

I have been spending a considerable amount of time to modify the how- 
to-write-a-block to compile and make my own, different name, module.  
While changing the code withing the howto_square_ff.cc is a simple  
solution, it is unfulfilling.

Sadly, I think I tried to make big changes in the code structure and a  
simple find/replace of Makefile.am and howto.i (as well as renaming  
the files) and other obvious files, does not suffice. I tried to look  
for instructions on exactly which files and lines to modify, but there  
seem to be none for the structure provided in the example for version  
3.2.2. There are several places  (Dawei Shen's tutorial amongst  
others) that explain the modification for a boilerplate model for,  I  
believe, version 3.02 and before, but nothing for the newer version  
where the Makefiles.am in the src/lib directory is quite different.

I will continue to hack on the current version, and keep notes so that  
so I can report what and how it works, but if anyone knows of an  
existing enumeration of steps on how to take the boilerplate provided  
by the how-to-write-a-block ver 3.2.2 and modify it to say a module  
name toneDetect, I will appreciate it.

Regards,

Affan.
