How to include SDK source in extension

Bink · February 21, 2017, 1:56am

Hi. I’m working on a native extension that lets me communicate with an Intel RealSense camera from Haxe, under Windows.

I have a basic extension working in Haxe using CFFI Prime, just passing integers and such. But now I want to incorporate some RealSense SDK source into the native code and start passing real data.

I’m having linkage or missing file errors when building the extension with lime rebuild . windows from the projects root. I’ve been trying two methods, one trying to include static libraries, the other trying to include source. I’ve also tried both at once. I’ve been able to produce results from the RealSense SDK in VisualStudio in test projects, but as far as I’m aware I can’t build the native extensions there (please correct me if I’m wrong!).

What is the correct way to compile with Lime/Haxe, including/linking C++ source files from an SDK and static libraries (.lib) in a specified location?

My base project is a Lime generated extension.

I think I’ve got it finding source using the Build.xml file, like this:

<compilerflag value="-Iinclude"/>
<compilerflag value="-IC:/Program Files (x86)/Intel/RSSDK/opensource/include"/>

I placed the corresponding cpp file in my project folder because I made some changes to it. Including that was the same as the usual cpp files in the project (still in Build.xml):

<file name="common/libpxc.cpp" />

Still not sure how to include static libraries (.lib).

I’m still not sure how to include static libraries (.lib) in the build.

You should be able to do it in your Build.xml for the extension, for example, the Lime NDLL uses some libs on the Windows target:

github.com

openfl/lime/blob/develop/project/Build.xml#L322


	<include name="lib/tinyfiledialogs/files.xml" />
	<include name="lib/vorbis/files.xml" />
	<include name="lib/vpx/files.xml" />
	<include name="lib/webm/files.xml" />
	<include name="lib/zlib/files.xml" />
	
	<set name="DEBUGEXTRA" value="-debug" if="fulldebug" />
	<set name="LIBSUFFIX" value="${HX_TARGET_SUFFIX}" if="HX_TARGET_SUFFIX" />
	<set name="LIBSUFFIX" value="${LIBEXTRA}" unless="LIBSUFFIX" />
	
	<target id="lime" output="${LIBPREFIX}lime${DEBUGEXTRA}${LIBSUFFIX}" tool="linker" toolid="${STD_MODULE_LINK}">
		
		<outdir name="${OUTPUT_DIR}/${BINDIR}" />
		
		<files id="lime" />
		
		<files id="native-toolkit-axtls" if="LIME_AXTLS" />
		<files id="native-toolkit-cairo" if="LIME_CAIRO" />
		<files id="native-toolkit-curl" if="LIME_CURL" />
		<files id="native-toolkit-efsw" if="LIME_EFSW" />
		<files id="native-toolkit-jpeg" if="LIME_JPEG" />

Then it will be linked into the binary for your extension

Thanks Joshua! I’ll give that a go.

Unfortunately, I’m still getting my linkage issues. I’ll continue working through it, but I’ll post some details here in case someone has some suggestions.

This is the output from lime rebuild . windows

If I’m not mistaken, the particular symbols it can’t find there (RegCloseKey, RegOpenKeyEx, RegGetValue) exist in AdvAPI32.Lib, a file present in the Windows SDK (which I have). I’ve even tried putting that file (x86 version) into the project folder in case it was an environmental path issue, but I had the same result.

I’ve taken the includes and linkage information from a working VisualStudio project and tried to replicated it in my Build.xml, which looks like this:

Do any of these libraries help?

kernel32.lib
user32.lib
gdi32.lib
shell32.lib
ole32.lib

EDIT: Well, looks like you’ve got them. Perhaps some of the libraries conflict?

I’ve not had any luck as yet, but when I have a bit more time to play, I’m going to try building most functionality in VisualStudio where the linkage is working, as a self contained static library. I will hopefully then be able to include that in a simpler interface C++ file for Haxe.
