Gr-doa compatibility with newer releases

[Marcin Wachowiak]

Issue Description

After properly installing uhd drivers and gnu radio, I attempted to get gr-doa package.
I am using Ubuntu 18.04, with updated gmp and installed required dependencies.
There appeared some errors during build because of change in function naming or structure.
Logs from cmake:

Is there any fix for this or shall I switch to ubuntu 16.04 where it has been proved working?

I just read that Gr-doa is compatible with 3.7 Gnu radio release.
