Can't compile hidtool from examples

[Urvin]

Hi!
I can't compile hidtool host application from example of hid-data usage (examples\hid-data\commandline).
That's what mingw says:


windows 7
mingw 3.81
v-usb 20090822

[Urvin]

Plus if I try to rewrite the whole code in Code::Blocks, compiler returns "undefined reference to `usbhidOpenDevice(usbDevice**, int, char*, int, char*, int)'"

Well if you could provide the commandline used to invoke compiling?
Maybe you just forgot to specify the right make file?
The right command line would be

Code: Select all

make -f Makefile.windows

[Urvin]

ya, I print "make -f Makefile.windows".
Also it doesn't compile if I edit makefile and run "make".

I found another way to compile the example using Code::Blocks IDE.
The solution is to add hiddata.h this way:

Code: Select all

extern "C"
{
    #include "hiddata.h"
}

Your development environment seems to lack some of the USB driver libs. Did you try MinGW?

[Urvin]

I use MinGW
Trere's no other compilers on my computer

I've looked at the error message again. This is an internal error of your gcc. The compiler frontend can't create a process for the preprocessor or another stage of the compiler chain. Your gcc installation seems to be broken.

[Urvin]

I use MinGW that goes with Qt package.
Code::Blocks use the same MinGW.

Using codeclocks i can compile the example (I also tested it with MCU with hid-data example firmware), using Makefile.windows and (edited) Makefile - can't.

[christian]

Then it's probably an issue with search paths (the environment variable PATH).

[Urvin]

MinGWs dir name is added to PATH variable

[christian]

You probably need MinGW's bin directory in PATH, not the MinGW directory itself.

[Urvin]

bin path certainly.
"C:\Qt\2009.03\mingw\bin;"

[christian]

OK. But it's still a kind of internal error: CreateProcess for gcc fails.

I rewrote the host side to fasm. You can find it at http://www.kot3245.ru
In addition, you can compile host side software under linux.
