So I've been struggling for a few days to create a program in c++ that I can interface to LabVIEW using a CIN. I made the c++ program, but how do I make a .lsb file without visual studio? I have the express version, and the instructions I found in the knowledge base don't cover the express version. Furthermore, I don't know a thing about command line programming, so I'm stumped by the instruction "build a .lvm." I figured out, I think, that I have to use the lvsbutil, but it wants me to put in a bunch of parameters that I can't even seem to guess at, and I can't find any help, instructions, or application notes for this utility. I've sifted the forums, and read all the notes and instructions, but I feel they have huge holes in them, like the above "build a .lvm." I have programmed in c++, and LabVIEW for years, but I never used visual studio, and I don't own a copy, which probably makes this difficult. Can anybody give me a step by step way to get even one of the CIN examples that ships with LabVIEW to work without using visual studio?
Thanks,
Benjamin
