How can I load lsb files dynamically

OS:               Linux Debian/RedHat

LabVIEW:    8.2 Professional

Hello,

I have the problem developing a LabVIEW application which needs to be run on Linux Debian and RedHat. That's working for the LabVIEW stuff but I also have to import some .lsb files compiled from C code. Everytime I switch the systems I have to recompile and reload the .lsb files manually. The recompiling is ok if LabVIEW would reload the new .lsb files automatically.

Is there a way to load the .lsb files dynamically when the VI is opened or started?

Thanks

Have you tried specifying the path on the block diagram?  In the configuration dialog, on the Function tab, check Specify path on diagram.  A path input will then appear on the call library node.  Wire in the path to the lsb and you should be good to go.

I tried the 'Call Library Function Node' but now I have a new problem: The function of the shared library returns an array of LStrHandles but that data type I cannot specify within the CLFN. Is this a limitation to the CLFN?

Found it by my own 😉 - I configured the parameter the following way:

Use type: Adapt to Type

Dataformat: Handles by Value

Then I connected an array of strings to it and generated the C-code file.
