From my LW/CVI application, how do I get the linker to search Borland C++ 5.02 .lib files?

[alf]

(a) I've got the header files OK during the compilation phase, but how do I get LWCVI to search Borland .lib files to satisfy unresolved library references?

(b) Do I have to set up stuff like segment names?

(c) What about all the different Large, Medium, Huge, yadda yadda, memory models?

a) Are you set for the correct compatibility mode before adding the .lib file to the project? LabWindows/CVI can be compatible at the object code level with both of the compatible external compilers (Microsoft Visual C/C++ and Borland C/C++). Because these compilers are not compatible with each other at the object code level, LabWindows/CVI can be compatible with only one external compiler at a time.

If you want to change the compatible compiler, run the installation program again. You can specify the default compiler compatibility mode in the Select LabWindows/CVI Compatibility Mode panel of the Measurement Studio Setup.

b&c) I don't believe you have to set these items explicitly.

Dear Eric,
You wrote: a) Are you set for the correct compatibility mode before adding the .lib file to the project?
Answer: Yes -- Refer to attached file of the dialog box "Build Options".

d) Do I have to explicitly search all of the Borland .lib files to satisfy unresolved library references?

e) I'd like to just specify the directory -- eg: c:\bc5\lib -- Can I do this? Where?
