Peer to Peer Issue with External Compiler in LabVIEW FPGA Centric Project

[Colonel1013]

Hi all,

NI FPGA Version:14.0

I have an application developed in LabVIEW interfacing FPGAs developed in LabVIEW FPGA  that performs Peer to Peer Communications.

Everything works fine.

I am trying to port it over to Visual Studio 2013 (on the same PC), and am able to communicate with the FPGAs just fine using the C API.

However, I am having an issue now with using the Ni Peer to Peer External Compiler Supported files.

I am getting these errors:

1.cannot open source file "PublicIncludes/nistreamCommon/prefix.h"

2.cannot open source file "PublicIncludes/nistreamCommon/postfix.h"

in

c:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\Shared\ExternalCompilerSupport\C\include\nip2p.h

in my project...

I looked in the c:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\Shared\ExternalCompilerSupport\C\include\ folder and the PublicIncludes\nistreamCommon folder does not exist.

What am I doing wrong?

Hi!

It seems that you have been working with another Applications Engineer on this issue.  For records sake, the nip2p library isn't supported in CVI. There have been instances where users were able to get this to work by commenting out the two header files.

Thanks!

Thanks!

I tried this last night and it worked.
