Use of a dll for a signal source module implementation

Post by gdimitri » 03 Aug 2010, 11:46

Dear sirs,

I have been trying to implement a Signal Source for the DigitalLynx amplifier from Neuralynx.

I am stuck in a small issue that I can't seem to find any documentation for (taking into account that I am a novice in the use of CMake). I have managed to create a basic Neuralynx module that can be run from the Launcher but in order for the Neuralynx commands to work I have to have the .dll file in the same directory that the Neuralynx module executable is. Otherwise the executable doesn't see the .dll and cannot call the Neuralynx commands.
I have tried to find a way to tell the build to look into the directory that I store the .dll file but I coudn't find a way. Could you please tell me if there is a way to keep my dlls away from the /prog directory and into directories I choose.
The reason I would like to know is because I am planning to interface BCI2K with a few more pieces of hardware and I would like to keep my code and my directory trees as clean and easy to read by other people as possible.

Thank you for your time

When an executable tries to load a DLL, the Windows search path applies as described at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library ... S.85).aspx (standard search order).

The cleanest way to install your DLLs would be to put them into the Windows system directory.

Best regards,
Juergen
