OGPI-1 and Mac OS 9

[Paul F. S. <Pa...@SU...>]

My Mac has four version of LabVIEW from 5.1 through 7. A few months 
ago, I installed OGPI-1 and the latest tool kit on LV7 under OS X. 
Yesterday I attempted to upgrade LV6 and LV6.1 to the same point.

OGPI-1 wouldn't install. A number of VIs have names that are too long 
for OS 9. Converting the directories with .llb extensions to LabVIEW 
libraries (using the library manager in LV7) corrected the name 
problem. But .lb files can't contain other than .vi and .ctl files. I 
moved the folders, .sea.bin, and .shlb files back to the OGPI 
directory, where the installation instructions says (incorrectly) 
that they are, but then the package can't find the lvzlib files, 
which it expects to be one directory lower.

What can I do to get OGPI-1 to work under OS 9?

Hi Paul,

I think I will need to package a special version for Mac OS 9.  LabVIEW =
6
does a lousy job with shared libraries.  I relink to the .shlb and then =
it
forgets the location next time I load the app.  I will have to manually
relink all callers of the .shlb.  I'll try to work on this a little =
tonight,
and see how far I get.
