example software host application compiler problem

Hi all,

I have trouble compiling the host software on a 64 bit Windows 7 system.

I downloaded MinGW installer package and installed it, I had to manualy add the path variable to be able to compile from a Programmers Notepad project. No problem there ...

Then i received messages about not being able to find the usb.h file from the libusb-win32 download so I copied the header file from the ../include directory in to the ../commandline directory and changed the include statement from <usb.h> to "usb.h".

When I try to compile I get:

Code: Select all

> "make.exe" -f Makefile.windows
gcc -o set-led.exe opendevice.o set-led.o -L/MinGW/lib/libusb
opendevice.o: In function `usbGetStringAscii':
..\custom-class\commandline/opendevice.c:91: undefined reference to `usb_get_string_simple'

..\custom-class\commandline/set-led.c:136: undefined reference to `usb_close'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status


What am I doing wrong? Thanks for any input.

Koen.

Are you using the legacy API(libusb .1)? I had compile errors when i used the stable 1.0

I 'm not sure what you mean when you write about the legacy .1. I 'm using the libusb-win32-bin-1.2.2.0 distribution. Should it perhaps be located in the MinGW directory, because that isn't the case right now?

Mmmm ... Been there done that still get the undefined reference problem. This must be a Windows 7 related problem. The controller firmware gets recognized by Windows, the driver gets loaded ... But I'm unable to compile (better link) the host application.

Problem solved, I made a little typo in the makefile.Windows -lusb.

Thanks all.
