This directory (and the resulting tarball) contains a build tree with
examples, Makefiles, etc that demonstrate how to write signal
processing blocks for the GNU Radio system.  This directory is
intentionally distributed separately from the unified tarball of the
rest of GNU Radio in order to avoid problems for people who have begun
to write blocks with a modified copy of gr-howto-write-a-block.

This package requires that gnuradio-core is already installed.  It
also depends on some GNU Radio prerequisites, such as boost.

To build the examples from the tarball use the normal recipe:

  $ ./configure
  $ make
  $ make check

If you're building from CVS, you'll need to use this sequence, since
CVS doesn't contain configure or the generated Makefiles.

  $ ./bootstrap
  $ ./configure
  $ make
  $ make check


The doc directory is not built by default.  This is to avoid spurious
build problems on systems that don't have xmlto installed.  If you
have xmlto and its dependencies installed, you can build the html
version of the howto article by cd'ing to doc and invoking make.
