Errors building gnuradio-3.0.2 using MinGW/MSYS

Status: closed (fixed)

Priority: normal Milestone: release-3.0.3
Component: build Version: 3.0.2

When building the gnuradio-3.0.2 tarball in WinXP using MinGW/MSYS, the following errors occur:

1) An error occurs during "make", when building gr-video-sdl. In gnuradio-3.0.2/gr-video-sdl/src, there are 2 files that have the following line: 

#include <sys/ioctl.h>

These files are video_sdl_sink_s.cc and video_sdl_sink_uc.cc. It does not appear that MinGW/MSYS provides ioctl.h, and these files do not use ioctl calls anyway. I had to comment these lines out to compile the package.

2) When there are no tools to create HTML documentation files from XML files, “make install” fails for 2 of the gnuradio packages:

a) In the Makefile for gnuradio-3.0.2/usrp/doc, an error occurs in the install-data-local rule (approx. line 755). Since DOCBOOK_HTML_FILES is blank, the “for i in $(DOCBOOK_HTML_FILES)” statement causes a fatal error during “make install”.

b) In the Makefile for gnuradio-3.0.2/gr-trellis/doc, an error occurs in the install-data-local rule (approx. line 588). Since HTML_FILES is blank, the “for i in $(HTML_FILES)” statement causes a fatal error during “make install”.

The second issue is a bug in an older version of the MSYS port of bash; current versions do not have problem, so no fix on this one.
