MSP430 Flasher Compile Problem

Dan Trembley said:

The "SYSTEM_NOTIFY_CALLBACK" appears not to be resolved. 

This typedef should create a type "SYSTEM_NOTIFY_CALLBACK" that is a function pointer to a function with a parameter MySystemEvent of type SYSTEM_EVENT_MSP.

What is the exact error message?
Perhaps you didn't include the file that defines the SYSTEM_EVENT_MSP type. Then the to be created function pointer type cannot point to a function with a parameter of this unknown type.

The SYSTEM_EVENT_MSP is defined in the file msp430.h file.

 // System events
typedef enum SYSTEM_EVENT_MSP
{
 /// System event FET connection is lost
    FET_CONNECTION_LOST,
 /// System event device connection is lost
    DEVICE_CONNECTION_LOST,
 /// System event FET restart needed
    FET_RESTART_NEEDED,
 /// System event device entered LPMx.5
    DEVICE_IN_LPM5_MODE,
 /// System event devices wakes up from LPMx.5
    DEVICE_WAKEUP_LPM5_MODE,          
} SYSTEM_EVENT_MSP_t;

typedef void (* SYSTEM_NOTIFY_CALLBACK) (SYSTEM_EVENT_MSP MySystemEvent);

 Here's the compiler data...

Ah, so the compiler doesn't like a parameter name in the typedef.
That's undestandable, the type of a function is determined by the type of its parameters alone, not their names (as the name can differ for different functions of the same function type).
Simply delete the 'mySystemEvent' from the typedef.

The removing of the argument mySystemEvent appeared to be key but now it's on to the next issue.  This is now what I get from the build solution...

I am not so interested in the warning as they can be dealt with.  The linker error is of more concern because the library that is being referenced does not exist in the developers kit that I downloaded from TI.  Also, I cannot find the msp430v3 library anywhere on the web or developer media.  I changed the library reference to msp430.lib which does come with the developers kit and believe it to be the 3 > version.  Compiling I got the following output...

The unresolved external symbols do not exist in this library so I am a little confused as to how this is suppose to come together?  It appears first that I need the correct version of the library.

Thanks.  Dan

It looks like the project settings are messed-up (hence the warnings about the path).
The missing references are most likely in the missing V3 lib. It is even possible that the lib is built by the project (or has to be built by a different part of the package) and the path issue prevents this from happen.

I never worked with this, so I cannot be of further help here. maybe someone related to this project (or someone who had this problem too and solved it) will join the thread.

I am using MS Visual Studio 2010 Premium. Here are some of my project settings:
