This is an oddity of Dynamic C. Rather than header files, you put
function prototypes and any globals in between those Beginheader and
endheader tags. I'm sure that they have a description for a problem
that matches their solution, but it really is kind of odd. I can live
with it, but often stumble a few times as well. You have described
this better than the book!

Hi

I solved the issue with how to add new lib, you have
to follow a specific format which not part of standard
c header file, seems like Rabbit have its own way to
declare the lib, you have to follow a strict lib
declaration format. Here is the example for future
reference

/*** Beginheader init_serial_port_lcd_controller */
void init_serial_port_lcd_controller(void);
/*** endheader */

/* START FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
********************************************
init_serial_port_lcd_controller

SYNTAX: init_serial_port_lcd_controller();

DESCRIPTION: Use to initialize seril portC.

PARAMETER1: None

RETURN VALUE: None

END DESCRIPTION
**********************************************************/

void init_serial_port_lcd_controller(void)
{
#define SERDIS_BAUD_RATE 2400

unsigned int baud_rate;

baud_rate = serCopen(SERDIS_BAUD_RATE);
serCparity(PARAM_NOPARITY);
serCflowcontrolOff();
serCdatabits(PARAM_8BIT);

if (baud_rate)
{
printf("open port c at baud rate = %d\n",
SERDIS_BAUD_RATE);
}
else
printf("port c can not be open\n");
}

/*** BeginHeader */

Thanks every one for all the help. Its was not the
issue of adding serlcd.lib to LIB.DIR and #use
"serlcd.lib", the problem is the format, you have to
follow the Rabbit lib declaration format, which kind
of fishy.

Thanks.

Of course it does not contain the main function. It
is a .lib file...

Once you created a test.c file wich has the directive
#use testlcd.lib you only need to include the file and
its CORRECT PATH on lib.dir file.
Once you did that, close Dynamic C and open it again.
Try to compile your test.c file. It shall work.

Hi

I created my own test.c file and I want to add my own
lib file, TESTLCD.LIB, the main function is in test.c
file. I want to compile TESTLCD.LIB so I can use
function defined in that file in my test.c file (which
include void main(void)). If you open GPS.lib it does
not contain any void main (void). I tried with the
info mentioned in Dynamic c 9.10 doc.

#use "testlcd.lib" /* add to test.c */

and add testlcd.lib in lib.dir

Please let me know any thing else need to done.

Thanks.

DC is not like a normal C compiler. It does not support separate
compilation of libraries. When you compile your program, your source and
all the libraries it uses are compiled at once.

If writing a new lib, just add a "#use new.lib" to a .c file with main()
and add new.lib to the lib.dir file.

I don't think 'It's better than hurling yourself into a meat grinder'
is a good rationale for doing something.

You will ALWAYS need to have a file some where that has main().
That's how C works. It can use functions and constants from other
library files, however. In C, you would use "include" to reference
headers. In Dynamic C, you use "use" to pull in functions from other
files.

Read the manuals, run the examples. Many of the examples are
single-file programs, but you will fine some theat use the #use
directive. It will take you some time and effort to get the hang of this.

I also recommend that you pick up a copy of K&R, as it is an excellent
training on C by the guys who invented the language. For more info:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_(programming_language)
It is a bargain at any price. If you do some digging, you may even
find some on-line excerpts.

Good luck, and enjoy the learning experience!
