using dsplink libs in visual studio

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OMAP3530

Hello, i"m having a hard time using the libraries built in the command line for dsplink. I copied the export folder to a project folder and just added it thinking I'd be able to comile one of the samples in visual studio. It didn't work, apparently there are some missing defines.

Without the sample code I get 1 error

error C2065: 'MAX_DSPS' : undeclared identifier

So to some extent I'm assuming that not all the information is in the src material, and some of the defines are passed to the compiler when its being built. We don't want to include this in our OS design and the samples are purely built from command or the example is part of the os design.

Is there a way to take the lib files and use them in a project?

Which dsplink version are you using (is it for Omap-L or Omap3530). Thanks.

I'm using the newest version of DSPLINK i can't read it though because I'm on a different machine. Aslo we are using an omap l138.

After fowling the install dirtions i just copied the export forlder, attempted to shove it into a project and hoped it worked. With a blank project i have 1 error, with the message sample I have 89, so it just seems like the command line passes information to it that I don't have in the project.

Can you add the dsplink subproject (see dsplink/etc/projects/wince) to your os-design and see if that helps what you are trying to achieve? The dsplink subproject builds message example by defaut. You can edit the prelink.bat to add any more dsplink examples/samples that you want to build. For any other app written by you, you can link against the dsplink libs by adding those in SOURCELIBS or TARGETLIBS of your app's sources file. You dont need to move the export folder around.

I'm actually not the one thats going to be developing the dsp link programs, but I do have the subproject imported. For whatever reason its not going to stay though, I'm only trying to set it up so someone else developing an app can just use them easily. I took one of the samples and added it to the app trunk and took the exported libs/headers, I hope to eventually to provide a library for this particular board design so that other developers won't have to figure out the build process.

Any way, I notice in the project there is an additional step adding macro defines $(CDEFINES) --DDSPLink_EXPORTS and my project happens to be missing defines, I'm guess thats where the issue lies.

So i took the defines out of currentconfig.mk and just included them into a header file before all the other includes and i'm down to a linking error

1>corelibc.lib(mainwcrt.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol wmain referenced in function "void __cdecl mainCRTStartupHelper(struct HINSTANCE__ *,unsigned short const *)" (?mainCRTStartupHelper@@YAXPAUHINSTANCE__@@PBG@Z)

if you are using main() in your app, then you need to define /SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE in your linker flag.
