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

You're not crazy. I've seen similar behavior. Does it work if you remove the underscore? The number?

Who can fathom the esoteric secrets of SWIG?

Additional detail: I tried it again:

$ gr_modtool rm tx_msg2tag
$
$ gr_modtool add test
$ rm -rf build; mkdir build; cd build; cmake ..; make

--> WORKS!!

$ gr_modtool add tx_msg2tag
$ rm -rf build; mkdir build; cd build; cmake ..; make

--> FAILS with the error below.


(of course, I edited the files to replace the <+...+> to make it compile).

It really seems it's the name of the block (tx_msg2tag) that makes things fail.
How can that be?
