Build lvlib for other target system than development system

[Flohrian]

I have developed a “Labview library” on a Windows 10 system with Labview 2025 Q1 (64-bit) and use it successfully in the form of a “Packed library” (*.lvlib) in other projects on the same system.

Now I would like to use this library on an “RT PXI Target”. The question is, how do I create a library that is compatible with the target?

The only way I know now is to add the target to the “Labview project” of the library and copy the complete library with its VIs to the target and create a new build process there.

That is a bit cumbersome. Is there an easier way?

The simplest method in my opinion:

1. Add a new target to your library project (choose the target type according to the desired OS for which the code must be compiled);

2. Right-click your target > Add > File... > Select your .lvlib file (the same that is already under "My Computer");

3. Under your target, Right-click "Build Specifications" > New > Packed Library. Add the library as the Top-level Library.

4. Build.

Excellent, that's easy. I didn't know that was possible. Thank you very much!
