Issue Details

I am following the Getting Started with C/C++ Development Tools for NI Linux Real-Time, Eclipse Edition tutorial but I am receiving this error when trying to compile onto my cRIO-9082:

c:/build/17.0/x64/sysroots/i686-nilrtsdk-mingw32/usr/bin/x86_64-nilrt-linux/../../libexec/x86_64-nilrt-linux/gcc/x86_64-nilrt-linux/4.9.2/ld.exe: cannot find crti.o: No such file or directory

c:/build/17.0/x64/sysroots/i686-nilrtsdk-mingw32/usr/bin/x86_64-nilrt-linux/../../libexec/x86_64-nilrt-linux/gcc/x86_64-nilrt-linux/4.9.2/ld.exe: hello.o: relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC

Solution

The error occurs as this tutorial can only be used specifically for Real-Time (RT) Targets running NI Linux Real-Time. In this case, the cRIO-9082 can only run the NI Phar Lap ETS and thus is not compatible with this tutorial. Older and legacy RT Targets do not support the use of NI Linux Real-Time.

To compile C code onto RT Targets running NI Phar Lap ETS National Instruments recommends you use CVI Real-Time for C-based shared libraries.

For C++, National Instruments strongly recommends using the MSVC 2009 or MSVC 2010 compilers.
