#14 How do I change the CVER tools version

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I have installed IVI on windows XP and it is working
fine. The cver version IVI uses seems to be 2.10b. The
current version of cver is 2.11a.

Please let me know how the version can be changed to
the new one.

Thank you,

Regards,
Nambi

There are three ways to change the version of Cver:

- Update the source in the ivi_cver project. Most of the
changes were made to get cver compiling under Mingw (without
the Unix-emulation functions of cygwin). Creating a diff
between the modified source and the original source and
applying that diff to the latest cver version should work.
If you do this, please send me a patch so that I can update
the release

- Copy the cygwin version into the .tools plugin. Cver is
stored in the bin directory of the
net.sourceforge.ivi.cver.tools plugin. Replacing the
existing binary with the latest cygwin binary should work
without issue (assuming your system is configured properly
to run the cygwin binary)

- Remove the net.sourceforge.ivi.cver.tools plugin and
ensure that the Cygwin cver binary is in your path. If IVI
does not locate the .tools plugin, it searches the path for
cver.

Oops... I forgot: the .vpi plugin also needs to be renamed
to .vpi.so. It's a Cygwin thing...

Look for the VPI plugin in the lib directory of the
net.sourceforge.ivi.cver plugin.

Hi,

I renamed the file with a .so extension, but I still get the
same problem.

Please let me know if I am missing something.

Thank you,
