Can LabVIEW for Mac build framework?

[Jasonmark]

In Windows, LabVIEW can build .dll file and other software can call that dll.

How about that in Mac OS? I found the dll in windows is similar to the framwork in Mac.

Can LabVIEW for Mac build framework? Thus other mac app can call that framework.

Hi, Jasonmark,

you can build .so file in Mac OS which is similar to the shared library in Linux.

1. Use -dynamiclib option to compile a dynamic library on OS X:

2. Use Xcode to creat a shared library:

Hi L1yang,

I mean the opposite way: LabVIEW itself build framework(sharelib) and called by Xcode software. 

For example, I want to use FFT algorithm in xcode. A good way is use LabVIEW to build FFT.vi to framework(sharelib),  and Xcode can call FFT framework.

Hi, Jasonmark,

      Sorry for misunderstanding your question.

      It is also possible for Labview to create share library (.framework file) in Mac OS.

You can use the Application Builder to build a shared library in Mac OS:
