Problems compiling the C-example for USB ADC-11

Hi there.

I'm working on small piece of software for the ADC-11 (USB) which basicly just has to retrieve the values from each channel and store them in a textfile when being run.

Before starting with this, I want to get familiar with the C-examples provided, but they are giving me a bit of problem when it comes to compiling.

I'm using Bloodshed Dev-C since, as far as I can see, Microsoft Visual Exress is only for C++ - please correct me if I'm wrong.

When I try to compile the USBADC11CON.c file, the compiler stops and this is the content of the log:

Code: Select all

Compiler: Default compiler

Hope someone more experienced with this kind of work can guide me through. All kinds of suggestions and advises will be greatly appreciated.

Yours sincerely

MS Visual Express will compile .c extension files as C programs. Go ahead and use it. But, make sure you download the Software Development Kit (SDK) as well and follow the instructions to modify the appropriate files to activate all of the things you need to compile this software.
