Compiler/DLPLCR4500EVM: Using Visual Studio as the compiler

John Traynor

Part Number: DLPLCR4500EVM

Tool/software: TI C/C++ Compiler

Hi all,

I know Visual studio isn't supported officially by TI but I am looking for some help is using the compiler in visual studio 2017 as opposed to MinGW. I can use any version of Visual studio if that makes it any easier.

I have successfully built the applications supplied by TI using this document http://www.ti.com/lit/ug/dlpu042/dlpu042.pdf and using the MinGW compiler that comes with QT

Now, what I would like to do is just use the visual studio compiler (32 bit) but I am running into problems

Are there any other members of this forum who have successfully compiled the applications with visual studio? Should it be fairly straight forward to accomplish i.e just pick the VS Compiler as opposed to the MinGW compiler?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

John

In relation to the compiler errors I am getting the following errors when using the visual studio compiler. See screen shot below

Thanks

Did you get the solution? I got the same problem as you showed. I solve the first two problem by changing the asio lib.

Hi,

I'm still working on it. I believe I can get the errors sorted but it will mean making code changes. The problem with this is that if new code is released I'll have to try and work in any changes I make into the latest code release. The other problem I am expecting to have is linker errors. I doubt it's going to be straight forward port from MinGW to VS!

Nima,

Thanks for your input.

John,

I am not aware of any TI-side users who have implemented this using visual studio. If that changes, I will let you know. I otherwise apologize for the inconvenience.

Best Regards,
Philippe Dollo
