I just wish GNU Radio did not brake compability between versions.

3.6 --> 3.7 --> 3.8 all ware breaking.

So no older example or block you find will work in the current version. This is infuriating when trying to learn and following tutorials. All my friends seem to have migrated to building their prototypes in C using something like liquid-dsp instead of gnuradio. As that will compile and work next year.




It is frustrating. What I do is keep computers from a given time era in their natural state of software. So now I have a physical computer for running GR 3.6 stuff, one for 3.7 stuff, and soon I'll have one for 3.8 stuff. Trying to constantly upgrade and getting rid of old installs is counterproductive.

This applies in general to all software. It's really nice to have old OSes use applications that can't run on newer distros.
