Undefined symbol ___cvi_toolbox_smart_type_default_types

[JGC]

Hi,

I have a project that was last built using CVI Version 9.1.0 (Build 427).

I need to modify it and would like to use the latest version of CVI.

The build fails with a linker error:

Undefined symbol '___cvi_toolbox_smart_type_default_types' referenced in "toolbox.obj".

I presume one of the toolbox functions I've used has been changed or depeciated, but which one?

Does anyone know which function this error is associacted with? I'd rather not have to look for every programmer's toolbox funtion in my project.

Regards,

John

Hi John, 

I have checked through the Programmer's Toolbox functions for LabWindows CVI 2009 and for 2013. I wrote a LabVIEW VI to check for any functions that nolonger exist in 2013 or exist in a different class but I could not find any.

Looking at the error code it is pretty general but the name has given some indication. 

Undefined symbol NAME.

Link Error

You used a variable or function in the project but did not define it anywhere.

Does the error specify a line in the code to perhaps help you narrow it down?

Hi,

No there is no line number given. It just references "toolbox.obj".

You may get these kinds of link errors if the toolbox.obj in your project or CVI environment (ADE) is from a newer version of CVI than the CVI ADE you are using to compile the project. Check the path of the toolbox.obj file in your project/ADE and make sure it is from the same version of CVI.

Thanks Mohan,

That was it.
