Library problems wifly and ethernet

Hi

I'm a student at the KHLim Diepenbeek in Belgium.

In a project, I want to work with ethernet and Wifly. There is a problem when you place both libraries in the project folder. Is there anybody who encountered the same problem and if so, is it solvable?

Best regards

Marc Knoet

Hello Marc Knoet,

as David noted, Wifly interface is compatible with Ethernet interface. This will result in linker errors. Can you tell us why do you want to connect those 2 libraries together?

Regards.

Hi Marc, Both libraries have various subordinate interfaces with the exact same function names, and this causes the naming conflict. I have run into the same problem, but haven't had the time to work toward a solution. I think the solution may involve the use of defining name spaces for each interface and then the functions are contained therein. As I'm quite weak in this area of the language, I hope other see this note and shed more light on the subject.
