Creating DLL from a Simulink Model generates LNK

[mal478]

I’m trying to create a DLL from a Simulink model for an NIVeriStand target.

There are NIVeriStand  specific ‘tlc’ and ‘tmf’ files , supplied.

The build appears to work fine but on closer inspection there is a Linker error

Here’s the tail end of the diagnostic file created :

……

It claims to have created a ‘dll’ , but none was created.

I’m using R2014b ( and NI VeriStand 2014). (Windows 7)

Have you seen this kind of this before or do you know of anyone who might have ?

Many thanks

Hello Mal,

Are you building using MSVC++ 2010? If so, this is a known issue as reported by Microsoft in the link below. The solution is to update your Visual Studio 2010 installation to SP1.

Hi Mal,

I'm having the same issues, I was wondering what you did to make it work?

I have tried installing .NET Framework 5.2 as per the Microsoft article with no luck.

Thanks,

Hans

This setup of Signals and Parameters solved this issue for me after checking I have the right SDK.
