Compiling with Visual Studio 2017 on Windows 10 x64

Downloads

• Download and install Visual Studio community edition - https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/older-downloads/
• (optional) download and install TortoiseGIT - https://tortoisegit.org/download/
• Download and install boost 1_66 14.1 x64 - https://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost-binaries/1.66.0/
• Download and unzip swigwin-4.0.2 - http://www.swig.org/download.html
• checkout repo using tortoiseGit, or download as zip - https://github.com/gnuradio/gr-tutorial to a folder location D:\gnuradio\gr-tutorial

Assumptions:

• GNURadio is installed to D:\Program Files\GNURadio-3.7
• Boost is installed to D:\local\boost_1_66_0
• GIT repo cloned to D:\gnuradio\vs\gr-rtty
• Swigwin unzipped to D:\gnuradio\vs\swigwin-4.0.2
• Sample file in \apps is an audio wav file for a test RTTY signal generated by fldigi. I will upload an I/Q example in due course

Visual Studio solution/project setup Proj1

• open visual studio, 'new project from existing code', C++, D:\gnuradio\vs\gr-rtty, gr-rtty, DLL project
• remove all files from 'header files' that derive from the D:\gnuradio\vs\gr-rtty\include folder
• remove all qa and test files from Source files and Header files
• set profile to Release x64
• edit project properties under C/C++, General, 'Additional Include Directories' and add following folders:
• D:\local\boost_1_66_0;
• D:\Program Files\GNURadio-3.7\include;
• D:\gnuradio\vs\gr-rtty\include;
• under C/C++, Preprocessor, set 'Preprocessor Definitions' to gnuradio_rtty_EXPORTS (note that this will depend on what is in the api.h 'ifdef' macro
• under Linker, General, 'Additional Library Directories' add following folders:
• D:\Program Files\GNURadio-3.7\lib;
• D:\local\boost_1_66_0\lib64-msvc-14.1;
• under Linker, Input, Additional Dependencies add following libraries (may need to adapt depending on OOT module's needs)
• gnuradio-runtime.lib;
• gnuradio-pmt.lib;
• Under General, Project Defaults set 'Configuration Type' to '.dll' and Windows SDK version to '10.xxx'
• Rebuild solution - ensure builds ok
• edit D:\gnuradio\vs\gr-rtty\swig\rtty_swig.i and comment out '%include "rtty_swig_doc.i"' line using //
• open command line and run swig against D:\gnuradio\vs\gr-rtty\swig\rtty_swig.i (note command argument -module rtty_swig will depend on OOT module compiling)

Visual Studio project setup Proj2

• In visual studio add new project to current solution, DLL, tutorial_swig
• add in rtty_swig_wrap.cxx from D:\gnuradio\vs\gr-rtty\swig folder and remove all other auto generated files from header and source files
• ensure C/C++, Precompiled Headers is set to 'Not Using Precompiled Headers'
• set profile to Release x64
• edit project properties under C/C++, General, 'Additional Include Directories' and add following folders:
• D:\Program Files\GNURadio-3.7\include\gnuradio\swig;
• D:\Program Files\GNURadio-3.7\gr-python27\Include;
• D:\local\boost_1_66_0;
• D:\Program Files\GNURadio-3.7\include;
• D:\gnuradio\vs\gr-rtty\include;
• under C/C++, Preprocessor, set 'Preprocessor Definitions' to gnuradio_rtty_EXPORTS (note that this will depend on what is in the api.h 'ifdef' macro)
• under Linker, General, 'Additional Library Directories' add following folders:
• D:\Program Files\GNURadio-3.7\gr-python27\Libs;
• D:\Program Files\GNURadio-3.7\lib;
• D:\local\boost_1_66_0\lib64-msvc-14.1;
• under Linker, Input, Additional Dependencies add following libraries (may need to adapt depending on OOT module's needs)
• gnuradio-runtime.lib;
• gnuradio-pmt.lib;
• Under General, Project Defaults set 'Configuration Type' to '.dll' and Windows SDK version to '10.xxx'
• Add a reference to the first project
• Rebuild solution and both projects should compile
