error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol DAQmxGetSysDevNames... #1

I realise this is over two years old and probably dormant but heres hoping...

I'm struggling to build this using node-gyp on Windows 10 64bit. It appears to be unable to resolve the main NIDAQmx lib but I have verified that the path is correct and exists. Here is my error log:

I'm fairly inexperienced with node-gyp or building C++ code in node for that matter so perhaps I missing something obvious. Any help would be appreciated.

I've fixed this: it was due to this project using the legacy 32bit lib location (which still exists confusingly). I have created a fork, which builds on 64bit systems using the new 'Shared>ExternalCompilerSupport>C' folder.

The folder contains libs for both 32bit and 64bit systems and updated header files. I have changed binding.gyp to use the new path with 64bit lib by default, and a note for users on how to change it to 32bit lib. I've also updated the README with the latest NIDAQmx 16.0 download.

The fork is here: https://github.com/tuna-f1sh/node-daqmx, I'll create a pull request too.
