Re: undefined reference to symbol 'pvar_dset_asynInt32ArrayWfIn'

Hi Peter,

The EPICS LabJack module builds an IOC application called LabJackApp.  Have you successfully built that?  You can use that IOC and the LabJack/iocBoot/iocLabJack_Txxx directory to test your device and the EPICS support.

For building your own IOC you should use the one in LackJack as an example.  Your configure/RELEASE file needs to include busy and asyn like this one:

https://github.com/epics-modules/LabJack/blob/master/configure/RELEASE

You will probably also want to include autosave there.

Your application Makefile needs to include the _DBD and _LIBS lines for busy, asyn, and optionally autosave like this one:

https://github.com/epics-modules/LabJack/blob/master/LabJackApp/src/Makefile

Hello,

I am trying to use the labjack module, and I am receiving the error message in the subject line.

The complete error looks like this:

/usr/bin/g++ -o labjackIOC  -L/home/raphael/EPICS/IOCs/labjackIOC/lib/linux-x86_64 -L/home/raphael/EPICS/epics-base/lib/linux-x86_64 -L/home/raphael/EPICS/support/LabJack/lib/linux-x86_64 -Wl,-rpath,/home/raphael/EPICS/IOCs/labjackIOC/lib/linux-x86_64 -Wl,-rpath,/home/raphael/EPICS/epics-base/lib/linux-x86_64 -Wl,-rpath,/home/raphael/EPICS/support/LabJack/lib/linux-x86_64          -rdynamic -m64         labjackIOC_registerRecordDeviceDriver.o labjackIOCMain.o    -llabjackIOCSupport -lLabJack -lqsrv -lpvAccessIOC -lpvAccessCA -lpvAccess -lpvData -ldbRecStd -ldbCore -lca -lCom

Also, I do not know how to set up an IOC with the labjack module. I have checked the readme file in the module and the documentation it has a link to, but the setup instructions did not seem complete. I would like to know what, if anything, I might be missing.

Thank you so much,

Peter
