If you use the DLL version of libiio, 29 remember that you need to have a copy of the DLL either in the runtime 30 directory or in system32 31 32o WDK/DDK: 33 - The following is an example of a sources files that you can use to compile 34 a libiio 1.0 based console application. In this sample ..\libiio\ is the 35 directory where you would have copied libiio.h as well as the relevant 36 libiio.lib 37 38 TARGETNAME=your_app 39 TARGETTYPE=PROGRAM 40 USE_MSVCRT=1 41 UMTYPE=console 42 INCLUDES=..\libiio;$(DDK_INC_PATH) 43 TARGETLIBS=..\libiio\libiio.lib 44 SOURCES=your_app.c 45 46o MinGW/cygwin 47 - Copy libiio.h, from include/ to your default include directory, 48 and copy the MinGW32/ or MinGW64/ .a files to your default library directory. 49 Or, if you don't want to use the default locations, make sure that you feed 50 the relevant -I and -L options to the compiler. 51 - Add the '-liio' linker option when compiling. 52 53o Additional information: 54 - The libiio API documentation can be accessed at: 55 http://analogdevicesinc.github.io/libiio/ 56 - For some libiio samples (including source), please have a look in examples/ 57 and tests/ directories 58 - The MinGW and MS generated DLLs are fully interchangeable, provided that you 59 use the import libs provided or generate one from the .def also provided. 60 - If you find any issue, please visit 61 http://analogdevicesinc.github.io/libiio/ 62 and check the Issues section 63
