Hi Guys,

 

I just got my master brick and a couple of other bricklets today and they work well with the brick daemon and viewer combination. I also could read out values from the temperature bricklet in Python.

 

Problem:

I need to integrate the temp sesnsor bricklet with a project in C++. I followed the instructions given on this page. http://www.tinkerforge.com/en/doc/Software/API_Bindings_C.html#api-bindings-c

 

The directory structure etc. is taken care of. I have also added -

#include <cstdint>

#include <stdint.h>

and

using namespace std;

 

I am still getting over a hundred instances of these two errors:

• error C4430: missing type specifier - int assumed. Note: C++ does not support default-int
  
• error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'header'
   
  

 

I know it has to do with C -> C++ bindings. The question is, has anybody already found a solution to this?

As far as i understand it you have to rename the ".c" files to ".cpp" with VS, otherwise VS will interpret them as C89 files. Did you do that?

Yes, I changed the names from c to cpp.

 

Update: I created a blank project in VS2013 and now I get only some linker errors in the ip_connection.obj

 

 

Any idea how I could solve this?

Thank for the reply 

As also stated in the documentation that borg mentioned, you need to add ws2_32.lib and advapi32.lib as additional dependencies to the Visual Studio project.

;D

Thanks for that! I was very sure I had included those - I hadn't!

Now it is working!
