[OpenSPIM] HamamatsuHam, Windows 7 & OpenSPIM

[Luke Stuyvenberg]

Hi Alexis,

The error message seems to confirm your assumption; it suggests that one of the files Cobolt depends on is out-of-date. (I suspect this file is most likely /src/micromanager/MMDevice/DeviceBase.h or MMDevice.h.) The device code base changed recently, hence the problem you had loading the latest Hamamatsu adapter. If your OpenSPIM installation updated, but you're still using source code from before then, any adapters you build will not be loaded by Micro-Manager. When did you fetch the source code from github? Recently, as a part of trying to get the development environment working? If not, have you done a 'git pull' in /src/micromanager to update the source code recently?


Hope this helps,
Luke Stuyvenberg

A quick overview of what I think will need changing:
