RE: RE: "undefined reference" error message when using mkoctfile to create oct file

[Yan Zhang]

I tried the "-L." flag but got the same message:

---------------------------------------------
>> mkoctfile PowerMeter.cc -L. -lusbdll
./usbdll.lib: error adding symbols: File in wrong format
collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status
warning: mkoctfile exited with failure status
warning: called from
    mkoctfile at line 171 column 5
---------------------------------------------

Thanks,
