Building with PhAB - newbie Question

Hi,

I’m trying to build a basic Photon application using PhAB and have a couple
of questions:

  1. I can edit abSfiles and abOfiles to add some non-PhAB generated source
    files but every time I generate it overwrites these files so I have to edit
    them again. Is there a way around this?

  2. How do I link against the TCP/IP libraries form a PhAB application?

TIA,

Richard.

Don’t edit any of the files that PhAB generates because – as you’ve found –
they get overwritten.

Tkae a look at the Photon Programmer’s Guide. In the Generating, Compiling,
and Running Code chapter, there’s a section called “Including non-PhAB files
in your application” that should help you with both of these questions.

Just to clarify: don’t edit the files named ab… that PhAB generates.

Use indSfiles, indOfiles and indHfiles instead.

  1. To link TCP/IP library in a photon application,you should first include
    the <sys/socket.h> in you programme,and then you have to include the
    ‘-lsocket’ option to the compiler,to do so,go your project folder and then
    the platform folder,you shall find the Makefile there,change the lines begin
    with ‘CC’,‘CXX’,‘LD’ as that:
    CC=qcc -lsocket
    CXX=qcc -lsocket
    LD=qcc -lsocket
    I am not sure whether it is the way that the QNX hopes ,but it sure works
    fine.If there are some other good comments,it will be very appreciated.

Best Regards.
