[TRNSYS-users] TRNSYS17 rebuilding and external dll problem

[Yoshinaga Mika]

Dear Matt and David,

 

Thank you for your nice advices. As David had mentioned, the simplest way of
copying Type344.dll (provided release mode) into \DebugDLLs directory worked
pretty well!

 

Best regards,

Mika

Dear Mika,
  A DLL can be compiled in either "debug" or "release" modes. I think what
happened is that your original TRNDll.dll and the Type344.dll that you got
from Transsolar are both "release mode" dlls. A release mode TRNDll looks
for external DLLs in the ..\Trnsys17\UserLib\ReleaseDLLs\ directory. When
you recompiled TRNDll.dll, however, it recompiled in "debug mode" (this is a
compiler configuration setting) so the new TRNDll.dll is now looking for
Type344.dll in the ..\Trnsys17\UserLib\DebugDLLs\ directory and there likely
isn't a Type344.dll in there. If Type344 does not use any data files then it
is pretty safe to just move a copy of Type344.dll into the ..\DebugDLLs\
directory. If it does use data files then you will need to obtain a
Type344.dll that is compiled in debug mode instead of release mode.
Kind regards,
 David

Dear all,
 
I'm facing a difficult problem. A non-standard-type.dll (Type344 from
TRNSSOLAR) can't be worked on Simulation Studio after rebuilding TRNDll.dll
by CVF6.6b. 
Before rebuilding, Type344 had run successfully. Then I just have opened
\TRNSYS17\Compilers\Cvf66\Cvf66.dsw by CVF6.6b and Selected "Build->Rebuild
All" and rebuild have done without any error.
After rebuilding, all projects using standard types and non-standard TESS
Types could simulate well but a project file including Type344 was ended
with the following error message.
 
-TRNSYS Message 105 : A TYPE was called in the TRNSYS input file but was
either not linked into trndll.dll or was not found in an external dll. A
dummy subroutine was called in its place. Please link the TYPE or remove it
from the input file
-Reported information  :  Type344 could not be located in either the
trndll.dll or in an external dll. Please relink theTRNDll.dll including this
Type or make sure that an external DLL in the \UserLib\DebugDLLs and
\UserLib\ReleaseDLLs folders contain the Type.
 
Type344.dll is surely placed in \Trnsys17\UserLib\ReleaseDLLs!! TRNSYS17 has
been upgraded to the latest version just to be safe. 
 
I was wondering if you could give me a few tips to clear it up. Thank you in
advance.
 
Best regards,
Mika
