Cannot find nicanmsc.lib

[chassan]

Hello folks,

I hope I'm posting this in the correct forum.

I'm developing a CAN (NICAN) program in C++ using MS Visual Studio 2008.  I have found the nican.h, but I haven't been able to find nicanmsc.lib.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Chris Hassan

Chris,

Check out C:\Program Files\National Instruments\NI-CAN\MS Visual C

I think I had to check "NI-CAN" when installing/changing labview to get the "NI-CAN" directory.

I tried using the file in an x64 .c program in MSVS and get a bunch of link errors.

Win32 platform mode work ok, but I have java x64 bin and I think I will need x64 bit nicanmsc.lib to
be able to do JNI on a 64 bit java with c and JNI and java.

here are the error I got when trying to build a x64 bit "c" program with nicanmsc.lib

error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol ncCloseObject referenced in function main	C:\Users\...\can.obj	CAN
error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol ncConfig referenced in function main	C:\Users\...\can.obj	CAN

Attached is a picture of the NI-CAN that has the nicanmsc.lib

The NI-CAN is in:

National Instruments Device Drivers Disk

Then in the tree:

Communication Buses and Protocols
   NI-CAN 2.7.5
      etc...

I think you need to check this in order to get the nicanmsc.lib
Maybe you also need to check
the 
      LabVIEW 2013 (32-bit) Support
         Examples

      Microsoft Visual C Support
         Examples
