I am having problems with using a header file called lt360lib.h

My code is as follows

#include <lt360lib.h>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
main()

{
}

as you can see it is a simple code just to test if the header file is being accepted or not. but i get the following error

"
e:\program files\microsoft visual studio\vc98\include\lt360lib.h(182) : error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'LT360LIB_LinkedCnt'
e:\program files\microsoft visual studio\vc98\include\lt360lib.h(182) : fatal error C1004: unexpected end of file found
"

all of these errors point to the header file, when i remove "#include <lt360lib.h>" the code compiles with no problems.

Please note i use Microsoft visual C++ 6.0.
This is the header file. i think the problem is with the "LONGINT" return type of the function same too for the "LONGBOOL" types since visual c++ understands "bool" not "LONGBOOL" , also "long int" not "LONGINT".

Also as i searched these types LONGBOOL and LONGINT are used with delphi "pascal language", if this is true is it possible to convert it to normal c++.

BY THE WAY THE HEADER FILE IS LONG SO SKIP THE DEFINITIONS IF YOU WANT AND I TYPED THE FUNCTION WHERE THE PROBLEM STARTS IN BOLD SO IT CAN BE SPOTTED.


Thanks for all

// Header file for Exported Functions in LT360 control library: LT360LIB.DLL
// =========================================================================
// (C)2006 LinearX Systems Inc, Mar-01-2006, Chris N. Strahm
// =========================================================================
// This DLL provides a high level interface for controlling one or more
// LT360 turntables. Up to a maximum of 128 units are managed by the DLL.
//
// NOTE: See the DLL Programming Manual for details on using this interface.
//
// All functions communicate to the LT360 units by numeric index handle.
// Therefore the application program can manage units by keeping track of
// the index handle for each LT360 unit linked.
//
// Linking is provided either through the RS-232 COM ports or the USB bus
// of the PC.  The application program can choose which method to attempt
// a link with an LT360.
//
// All strings passed to or from the functions are ASCIIZ strings.  It is
// the responsibility of the calling program to allocate the char buffers.
// All functions use the Windows standard calling convention, passing
// parameters from right to left on the stack. The routines cleanup the stack.
// ========================================================================

// ============================================================================
// After the link is established, commands can be sent using a single function,
// LT360LIB_CmdValue.  This function takes 3 parameters. Both string and numeric
// parameters are passed using an ASCIIZ string.  Return values are passed to
// the same parameter for the Get commands.  Commands are selected by using
// different identifier constants as listed below.
// ============================================================================

// ============================================================================
// NOTE: The LT360LIB_WriteBinary and LT360LIB_ReadBinary functions are only
//       used by the LT360.EXE Win32 application for updating firmware.
//       They are not needed and should not be called by customer applications.

//              Since only one LT360 can be on a single COM port,
//              this routine is called using different COM ports (1,2,3,4..)
//              for each LT360 unit to be linked. If not found, return=0.
//              Note: The BaudRate here must match what the LT360 is using.
//                    The LT360 uses 9600 by default unless it has been changed.
//  Parameters: ComNum (1,2,3,4...) , BaudRate (9600, 19200, etc)
//  Returns:    Handle > 0 if found, else 0 if no LT360 found.

If you've got the header file from a genuine source, the only possible problem is that you might not have placed the header file in the appropriate path; i.e. e:\program files\microsoft visual studio\vc98\include\

EDIT: Please give relevant names to your threads from now onwards.

thanks for the reply ,yeah the header file is genuine , i checked the header file it is in the correct location

Does the header file itself compile?

if you mean opening the header file and compiling it i get the error message
"cannot compile the file no compile tool is associated with the file extension"

by the way aren't the LONGINT and LONGBOOL an invalid declaration in visual c++ 6.0 or am i wrong?

Check (on the site from where you downloaded this file) whether this header is VC++ 6.0 compatible.

they said that the header file may require modification depending on the compiler/linker being used , so should i change LONGINT to long int and LONGBOOL to bool, may this help?

Do that if it doesn't hamper the various functions the header file is meant to serve. I'm not sure how it may affect the operation.
