11/22/2024 Code - files to ease building for MINGW/Windows
11/23/2024 at 13:53 • 0 commentsThis code includes code that I wrote to smooth over the differences between linux-gpib and NI488-2 libraries. Some conditional include files got added to the existing .c files and a function to map the error numbers to human readable strings that the NI488-2 library lacks.
There is also a make script file: Makefile_MINGW that works under MINGW environments.
Not included are the National Instruments NI488-2 library stuff and a Microsoft file CHKSTK.O. Both of these are copyrighted to someone else. NI488-2 can be downloaded from National Instruments web site. The version that I am running is fairly old, version 14, Windows 7 era which is the latest MS code that I have access to. CHKSTK.O can be found in Microsoft compiler distributions.
Both the ni488-2.obj file and CHKSTK.O should be placed in the directory that you are building HP3455A_ctl in.
Building under MINGW is similar to building under Linux. Use the Makefile_MINGW instead of the Linux Makefile:
> make -f Makefile_MINGW
should compile and link everything. There should not be any errors or warning messages from the build.
