[Hamlib-developer] libhamlib frontend ok

[Frank S. <vk...@ix...>]

Hi,

Some activity, when not watching Olympics... :)

I have successfully built testrig.c and linked it
against libhamlib frontend , and run part of it 
successfully - cool !!!!!!!!!

rig.c
-----

Removed rig_caps references for the time being, and replaced with
a more generic declaration. At least now I can build "libhamlib.0.0.1"
ok, and link testrig against it, and run it !! yippeee :-)


#if 0
static const struct rig_caps *rig_base[] = { 
	&ft747_caps, &ic706_caps, &ic706mkiig_caps, /* ... */ NULL, };

#endif

/*
 * removed references to xxx_caps for testing. perhaps we should use
 * the declaration below, an dthnk about populating it another way -- FS
 *
 */


#define MAXRIGSIZE  10		/* put this in .h later */
static const struct rig_caps *rig_base[MAXRIGSIZE];


Also,

Added a few printf's to verify rig_xxx is being called ok.


Makefile.testrig
----------------

Created this make file to allow compiling and linking
of testrig.c against "libhamlib"

make -f Makefile.testrig
make -f Makefile.testrig runtest
make -f Makefile.testrig cleanlocal


Some output as follows, we are getting closer !!

[frank@kirk common]$ make -f Makefile.testrig runtest
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="./lib" ./testrig ; ldd ./testrig
testrig:main() has been called
rig:rig_init called
        libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x4001a000)
        libhamlib.so.0 => ./lib/libhamlib.so.0 (0x40037000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4003c000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)
[frank@kirk common]$                                         


Outstanding
-----------

1. Get a good way of populating rig_base[] array.
2. Test drive a backend lib after frontend dlopens the
   approriate backend.
3. Symbol resolution - needs a generic approach here..

Cheers / Frank..
