Hi everyone,

I have been building an experiment using the v1718 CAEN interface to talk to my modules and I am using the CAENVMElib Linux Library (2.50). I've managed to deal with data type issues by including additional libraries to my driver code but there is one type error that persists:


In file included from /usr/include/CAENVMElib.h:27:0,
             	from include/v1718.h:25,
             	from v1718.c:26:
/usr/include/CAENVMEtypes.h:323:9: error: unknown type name ‘VARIANT_BOOL’
     	CAEN_BOOL cvDS0;  	/* Data Strobe 0 signal                     	*/


The header file used to defined the CAEN types (CAENVMEtypes.h) defines 'CAEN_BOOL' like this:


#ifdef LINUX
#define CAEN_BYTE   	unsigned char
#define CAEN_BOOL   	int
#else
#define CAEN_BYTE   	byte
#define CAEN_BOOL   	VARIANT_BOOL
#endif


Has anyone ever ran into that problem when setting up an experiment using the CAEN standard?

Thanks for your help.

Isaac
