compiling cins with cpgplot

[macsmith]

I'd like to port a linux C application to labview. The application uses cpgplot calls and I'd like to place these inside CINs.

The problem is how to compile the cin. In the Linux C code application compilation is a 2 part process with the final linking with the fortran pgplot library being done by f77.

Does anyone know how to modify the makefile that labview generates for cin building to incorporate the fortran pgplot library?

Are you sure that you want to use a CIN. They are LabVIEW version specific so you will have to go through the process again should you choose to upgrade. I recommend instead building a shared object. This way you can do your fancy building of your application and test it in c before attempting to call it with a call library node.

You recommend reading "Usind external Code in LabVIEW". It is a shipping doc and can be found on a Windows box by opening LabVIEW >> help >> search the labview bookshelf. This launches a pdf linked to all the shipping docs.

Or you could check the online product manuals, such as https://www.ni.com/docs/en-US/bundle/370109b/resource/370109b.pdf

Remeber to match your LabVIEW version to the manual. 🙂
