Where is PtNumericFloat, not in 6.1

I am working on a project and had omitted all the floating point input
(PtNumericFloat) widgets because they were left out of the build (pre-6.1),
however having installed 6.1 it seems they are still not present.

This is getting a tad frustrating. Our project is going no-where fast.

Here’s what the docs say:

PtNumericFloat isn’t included in the shared ph library
because it uses floating-point operations. If you use it in a
non-PhAB application, link with the static library. For more
information, see Compiling and linking a non-PhAB
application in the Programming Photon without PhAB chapter of
the Photon Programmer’s Guide.

Is that your problem?

I want to use PtNumericFloat in PhAB application. I will look at the notes
anyway. I’ve read what others have stated regarding PtNumericFloat and I
would echo their comments. Floating point is pretty standed in most
processors these days, and it should be included in any GUI builder by
default.

Ok, I’ve read the notes, which incidentally don’t get displayed when you
search for PtNumericFloat using all the various options available. This
doesn’t really help me.

How do I specify an additional/alternative library for PhAB to use?

Scratch previous note…changing Action from Make shared' to Make static’
resolves the issue.

Simply add -Bstatic -lph -Bdynamic to the end of your SDFLAGS in your
Makefile. Then the shared libph.so will be searched, and anything not
found in that will be taken from the static libph.a
