CVI 8.0 vs. 5.0 Object Files Trying to Build Together

[eatmontr]

We have a project built in CVI 5.0 that uses an edited toolkit.c in our own directory. If we try to rebuild the code in CVI 8.0 we get an error message because there are items defined in our toolkit.c that our also defined in toolkit.c in 8.0. We want to exclude the toolkit.c from 8.0 from the build but can't find the option to exclude that directory or file. Any ideas on how to remove the 8.0 file from our build?

Hi eatmontr,

I searched for this file on my computer and was unable to find it. Are you perhaps referring to toolbox.c? It seems like the easiest way to do this would be to rename the 8.0 version of the file to something like "toolbox.bak" and replace it with your customized toolbox file. Hope this helps!

Also, if it is in fact toolbox.c, it's not mandatory that CVI always include its own toolbox.c each time it links a project. To remove it, select Library>>Customize, and then remove toolbox.fp from the list of user libraries. Once you remove it, and you restart CVI, you can then add your own customized version of toolbox.c to your project without having a link conflict.
