Link C++ - SKILL

Yann00
Yann00 over 12 years ago

hi,

 

Could someone explain to me how to make a link between C++ and SKILL?

I have to develop a program in SKILL. But I do some text treatment in C++. So how I can load my SKILL program, and then lunch my C++ program? I have, in the SKILL program, to have a position with text file from C++.

Ask me if you want more details.

Best regards

    It depends upon the integration needed. If your C++program can run as a batch operation with well established I/O with Skill, I would treat it is a seperate binary and have your Skill program launch it via something link the Skill system API. The I/O would typically be based upon files and/or command line arguments. This appoach is typically the fastest to get running and is pretty easy to debug. Also if you have never written Skill before it would be the best approach.

    If your C++ code needs to tightly interact with your Skill code then the axlDll approach might be the best. It requires that you turn your C++ code into a dll. See the Allegro Skill reference manual for more info.
