Hi everyone,
I wrote a simple program in c++ to use the serial port using windows API. Now I have to include this my program in a big one written for ROOT.
I tried to compile my program with ROOT but I always have this error:
#error win32api.dll is not ready. Run ‘setup.bat’…
I tried to install CINT but maybe I did some mistakes and it doesn’t work.
Someone can help me? This is my first experience with ROOT 
Every suggestion will be appreciated 
Thanks a lot!!
This error is caused becouse a additional library for interfacing the windows api is not ready.
These libraries are found within the <cint_core>/lib folder. They need to be compiled so the functions within the external dll are visible to CINT.
The CINT binary package is compiled with dll_stl and stdstrct libs by default. So you can use the systems original string and some original std:: functions.
Anyway you need to compile the win32api lib within the <cint_core>/lib /win32api folder. To compile cint on windows you need cygwin or msvc.
You need to setup your environment for building the additional libraries or cint.
Read this:
awake24.de/documents/cint/Co … indows.htm
or download this package wich is usefull if you own msvc and do not want to install the huge cygwin distribution:
root.cern.ch/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=8935
I hope I made no mistake within my explanation.
Greetings Louis Höfler.
I downloaded the package as you wrote using this link:
root.cern.ch/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=8935
I followed the istructions but I have this error after running make-all.bat
G__defined_tagname: Error: class, struct, union or type ‘HANDLE’ is not defined
src\struct.cxx:2133 winfunc.h(131)
!!!Removing G__c_win32api.c G__c_win32api.h !!!

Stop.

Stop.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: ‘“C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0

Stop.
How can I solve this?
I extracted the compress file and then I ran the file make-all.bat
Is there something else that I must do before this operation?
I tryed with Windows 7 and XP and I have the same problem.
Thanks a lot
Giulio
I tryed to use version 10. Now running make.bat it works…I suppose it works…it finish without errors
Then when I run vs2008.sln clikking on Build Solution I have this list of errors:

I know that the report is in italian but I think that is easy for you to understand the problem also in this language.
Let me know what can I do…I really need to use Windows API with ROOT 
Thanks a lot,
Giulio
