Code node interface undefined symbol '_CINRun'

[NUSdent]

Hi all,

I was trying to creat a Labview CIN from Labwindow/CVI. I managed to follow the instructions stated in the cvilvsb.h file until the stage where i'm supposed to build the DLL. Received the following error:

Undefined symbol '_CINRun' referenced in "cin.obj".

my CVI project includes an .dll and a .lib file. Would this affect?

Hope to receive help soon.

Thanks alot!

Which environment are you building in?

Is it Windows or Linux/Unix?

If Linux/Unix, have you verified the Makefile?

Also, you may want to look at the following Knowledge Base info:

The KnowlegdeBase is titled How Do I Compile Code Interface Nodes (CIN) on Unix / Linux?.

Hi,

i am using labwindows 8.0 on windows.

the thread that u linked in your reply is actually also started by me. but that thread was with regards to exporting functions in creating a DLL. How is that related to CIN here?

As I answered in that thread in a sidenote, not at all. You do not export your own functions in a CIN. A CIN requires you to write a number of specific functions among which CINRun() is the most important one

Since ou have no knowledge about CINs it would be better to leave them alone. They are legacy technology, not to be supported in future LabVIEW versions.

OOps!!

My bad..

I first read the thread in the LabWindows CVI forum.  I followed the link and failed to check that this is the LabVIEW forum.  I nearly told Rolf that this was related to CVI..  So my reply at the top makes absolutely no sense.  Sorry about that..

Now for additional confusion:

If I understand correctly, you need help with LabWindows CVI and not LabVIEW, is that correct?

If so, then my initial reply would make sense and the discussion should continue in the other thread.

Which is the one I mentioned earlier here

Or maybe I am still misunderstanding what help you need...  Are you trying to use a dll in LabVIEW that was created in CVI?
