How to Use BACnet Protocol Source Code Stack

[Anas Zyoud]

Hi All,

I just want to know How to use the BACnet Protocol Source Code Stack?

I donloaded the stack and tried to compile it in GCC MINGW but I always receive an errors like:
undefined winmain@16
Fatal error: bactext.h : no such file or directory

My goal is to use this stack in developing kit like Odriod C2 or Raspberry Pi

but first I want to know how it is working like what, I'm sorry if I'm not clear enough but it will be very help full if there is a video or thread explain step by step how to compile and creat simple project using BACnet Code Stack.

For building under Windows with MinGW, use build.bat script.

For building hosted on Raspberry Pi, use "make clean all".

For building crosscompiled for Raspberry Pi, set the environment in bat file before using make something like (accounting for where your cross compiler is located):

@echo off
echo Build with ARM-ICCI-Linux-GNU-EABI
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\arm-icii-linux-gnueabi\bin;C:\arm-icii-linux-gnueabi\arm-icii-linux-gnueabi\bin;C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\bin;C:\MinGW\bin
rem assumes rm, cp, size are already in path
set PREFIX=arm-icii-linux-gnueabi-
set CC=%PREFIX%gcc
set AR=%PREFIX%ar
set MAKE=make

Building only builds the example (aka DEMO) applications and library. The demos are described in bin/readme.txt file. You could run bacserv on the Raspberry Pi, and use the PC with the other demos to query the Raspberry Pi.
