VXIplug&play programs, refer to “VXIplug&play Commands
(Functional List)” on page 4-22.
Compiling and Linking Programs Using Integrated
Environments
This section introduces information on how to create projects using the
Microsoft Visual C++ compiler.
The example VXIplug&play programs in this Help file were developed,
compiled, linked, and tested using the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0
integrated environment.
Using Microsoft Visual C++ (32-bit compiler versions)
To compile, link, and run programs from the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0
integrated environment, you must create a project which specifies the
files necessary for Visual C++ to build the program.
1. Create a project workspace.
a. Select File | New... | Project Workspace
b. Set the project Type to Console Application.
c. Specify a project Name, set the Platform to Win32, and specify a
location where a project subdirectory can be created.
2. Insert the files needed to build the project.
a. Select Insert | Files into Project...
b. Add the application program (program.c) file and the driver
library file (for example,
c:\vxipnp\winnt\lib\msc\hpe6432.lib)
