Webservice21 is failing to complile on RPi3

[wizardsleeve]

Hi all,

I have been trying for several days (on and off) to get the latest webservice21 to compile on my RPi 3. This is a totally fresh install (Infact started several times) With Noobs and Debian and then fully updated.

Ive got the 21 Library's installed and ive tested and it can see the Servo 8 board that I have plugged in, with the helloworld example.

You might be saying why webservice21 well the computer that im going to control this with has to run the 21 webservice as im using IndigoDomo Automation software and there are only drivers for the 21 webservice at the moment.

Can a 21 webservice client see and control a 22 Network Server?

The failure to compile is this....


pi@raspberrypi:~/libphidget-2.1.8.20170607/phidgetwebservice-2.1.8.20170607 $ ./configure LIBS="-lpthread -lm -ldl -lphidget21"

Any help would be much appreciated.

It looks like you extracted the webservice into the library folder, and it's picking up the wrong stdafx.h. Try extracting the webservice in the same base folder as the library.
