Re: SWIG doesn't recognize argument in make()

Hi Cinaed,

*I* am the author of gr-petro ;-)
This is indeed a SWIG question. Or a question about OOT modules.

I created the module with gr_modtool. I inserted bunch of blocks with "add"
command. Just this one below does not work. I have no idea why (and it drives
me crazy).

Hence my questions:
- What could be the issue?
- What exactly generates *swigPYTHON_wrap.cxx files ?
- How are the argument lists for the functions determined?

Thanks,
Lukas
