Creating Object and Library Files in External Compilers
for Use in LabWindows/CVI
When you use a compatible external compiler to create an object or library file for
use in LabWindows/CVI, you must use the include files in the cvi\include and
cvi\sdk\include directories. Ensure that these directories have priority over the
default paths for the compiler’s C library and SDK library include files.
You must choose the compiler options carefully. LabWindows/CVI tries to work with the
default options for each compiler as much as possible. In some cases, however, you have to
choose options that override the defaults. In other cases you must accept the defaults.
