Using C++ #21

Closed brucelane closed 8 years ago

brucelane commented 8 years ago

Hello, I'm trying to use LinkKit with a C++ framework (either Cinder or openFrameworks), is there an example standard C++ Xcode project to start from? Is the library limited to ipad or iphone or is it possible to do a desktop app?

Thank you Bruce

Hi Bruce,

The LinkKit library is iOS-only. We are working towards making Link available on desktop platforms, but this isn't ready yet. There is not a Link-specific C++ XCode project - it would probably be best to start from one of the Cinder or openFrameworks example projects and try to add in Link from there.

hi Brent, I experienced a linker error trying to compile with openFrameworks "-lLibABL not found". I put the libABLLink.a but I have no idea where is LibABL... But I'm not fluent in XCode yet (still learning the Mac platform) So for now I learn Objective-C to modify the LinkHut sample, I succeeded to add OSC capabilities to send the bpm via OSC, that's a good start. It's to showcase it in a Ableton User Group meeting where we are going to do a LINK Jam. I just hope a nice guy would add a C++ sample... But maybe I'll figure out myself.

Hi Bruce,

There is no LibABL. There is only the libABLLink. The linker command you would use to link against this library is -lABLLink. Hope that helps.
