Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] USRP2 unable to receive signal at RX-B

[Cheaw Wen Guey]

Hi,

I tried to run mg-gcc --help and the program is not added in properly. I
tried following step by step in the wiki and still no go.

Any ideas?

Try running mb-gcc from the command line first. See if you can do:
mb-gcc --help

Once that works, you run the commands (configure.gnu -- not configure --
weird I know...):

cd usrp2/firmware
./bootstrap
./configure.gnu
make

Since you are building FPGA images (I assume you have a copy of ISE),
then you may just want to use the mb-gcc that comes with Xilinx EDK.

Why are you trying to execute c++ files?
