Hello,
It seems this question has been asked before, but the posted answers haven't addressed my problem.
I'm trying to use the NI845x.lib on a Windows 8 box, Visual Studio 2015. Running an ordinary build, I get about 440 errors, including a lot that are "variable kNI845XExport is not a type name". Looking at the header, it looks like that's either meant to get #defined as a blank string, or __attribute__ in the macosx case. So I assume that the WIN64 precompiler definition isn't getting triggered, for whatever reason. So, I add the line #define WIN64.
After that, build gives me different errors; the aforementioned LNK2019 anywhere I reference anything from the header.
Here are the project properties that I've changed trying to link the project:
[Configuration Properties]->[C/C++]->[General]->[Additional Include Directories] = The full path to the folder with the header and lib ("C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\NI-845x\MS Visual C")
[Configuration Properties]->[Linker]->[General]->[Additional Library Directories] = The full path to the folder with the header and lib (as above)
[Configuration Properties]->[Linker]->[Input]->[Additional Dependencies] = The full path to the lib file ("C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\NI-845x\MS Visual C\ni845x.lib")
Which I believe satisfies all the answers I've seen heretofore on how to properly link. And yet, no go. What are some further steps I could take to run down this problem?
