Linux Cannot Create Shared Library to call from Labview. Anyone have any ideas?

[dirtyb15]

Hi there.  A while back i created a shared library (.dll) to call in labview which works great.  Lately i have been using Linux more and more and was hoping to recompile the shared library for use in Linux Labview.  My first go I am getting the following error #error "Unknown Linux platform"   from the platdefines.h.   Evidently it does not like my system.  Using QT creator on linux mint 64 bit.   Anyone have any ideas on how i can get this working?

thanks so much!

I have a few version questions: What version of Windows was this DLL orignally created in? What version of LabVIEW are you using? What version of Linux are you using? 

I think you will also find this previous discussion forum thread useful: http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Calling-DLL-on-LabVIEW-for-Linux/td-p/58322

Hi there, thanks for the reply.  Originally this was used on windows xp, but i just recompiled and have it working fine on windows 7.  I am using Linux mint 17.1  64 bit and Labview runs great on it.  Using QT creater and gcc to compile.

When you say "my first go" are you referring to your attempt at building/compiling it using QT Creater and gcc or your attempt at calling your DLL from LabVIEW for Linux?

Since you are receiving an error within a third party software rather than with an NI software, I would recommend posting this question to one of their corresponding forums. We also have a LabVIEW for Linux Discussion Forum that may be helpful.
