How To Compile CURI FAmodule in CentOS 7.2 with U1709 64-Bit OS and CURI 1.21

Note that this instruction is tested only with the following system and software versions:

OS: CentOS 7.2
Unison: U1709
Curi: CURI_1.12_2.121.x86_64

1. edit your project.makefile to look like this:

TARGET_MINOR_VERSION = 1

SO_TARGET = fademo_hooks.so

# -- Start of project files --
PROJECT_SOURCES = fademo_attach.cpp \
fademo_hooks.cpp  \

PROJECT_HEADERS   = fademo_hooks.h \

NO_PTHREAD=true
MBITS=64
PROJECT_INCLUDE_PATHS = -DLINUX_TARGET -DLINUX -DUNISON -I. -I/ltx/include 
PROJECT_LIBRARIES=-Wl,-rpath,/ltx/lib$(MBITS) -L/ltx/lib$(MBITS) -levxa

ifeq ("$(BUILD_OS)", "Linux")
CFLAGS:=-DLINUX_TARGET
endif

LDFLAGS:=

prepare:

Note the "MBITS=64" added

2. update all "long" arguments in fademo_hooks.h, fademo_attach.cpp, fademo_hooks.cpp to FA_LONG and "unsigned long" to FA_ULONG if any

3. use this command to compile > gmake CFG=Release MBITS=64 MBITS_CURI=64

4. after compiling as above, the .so files are stored in ~Release/ folder. rename Release to Release64 

5. update CURI config file /opt/ateTools/curi/unison/config/curi_conf.xml to point to this FAmodule:

<CURI_CONF>
    <Config Configuration_ID="DefaultConfiguration">
        <ConfigEnv Equipment_Path="/opt/ateTools/curi/unison/lib" Communications_Path="/opt/ateTools/curi/unison/lib" User_Path="/home/localuser/Desktop/famodule/Release"/>
        <CommunicationsList>
            <GPIB_IF>
                <Settings>
                    <stringSetting token="IbcAUTOPOLL" value="0"/>
                </Settings>
            </GPIB_IF>
            <RS232_IF/>
            <TTL_IF/>
            <TTL_IF DriverID="ASL PCI PORT" AccessName="ASL_XP_TTL" Library="curi_asl_ttl" />
            <TTL_IF DriverID="ASL AT PORT" AccessName="ASL_NT_TTL" Library="curi_asl_ttl" />
            <TCPIP_IF Port="65000"/>
            <USB_IF/>
        </CommunicationsList>
    </Config>

    <UserLibrary AccessName="Demo famodule" Library="fademo_hooks">
        <Settings>
    <stringSetting token="Module Type" value="FAPROC Module"/>
    <stringSetting token="Priority" value="50"/>
        </Settings>
    </UserLibrary>

Where /home/localuser/Desktop/famodule/Release is the path (without the '64' suffix) where your Famodule .so file is located and fademo_hooks is the name of the .so file

6. make sure to relaunch Unison
