hi  
  
I ve download Psychtoolbox. I would like to add a custom getTablet  
function in the project. I work on windows and i use matlab R2006b. I  
try to build the projet with the "makeit.m" file in matlab which i've  
modified :

Hi Delphine,  
  
could you explain what your getTablet function does? If this is something of interest for   
more people, maybe we could include it in the official distribution.  
  
If the getTablet thingy doesn't critically depend on Screen(), i.e., no need to access Screens   
internal data structures (Onscreen windows and such), no need for OpenGL, ... then i'd   
recommend to not add the function to Screen, but create a separate PTB mex file for your   
function. The source code / structure of GetSecs or WaitSecs would be good examples for   
such an approach.  
  
I just changed some #include stuff in the PTB trunk, so that one can build all mex files   
(except Screen) without the need to include the Quicktime-SDK. Then you don't need all   
those hacks anymore to avoid conflicts with Quicktime.  
  
1. Download a fresh copy of the trunk, so you'll get the upates.  
2. Create your own mex file project independent of Screen, e.g., similar to WaitSecs.  
3. Get rid of the include of Quicktime SDK.  
  
Regarding your linker problem: Edit the bottom (starting at line 223) of the file  
  
... trunk/PsychSourceGL/Source/Common/Base/PsychConstants.h   
  
Comment out the line #define EXP // nothing  
Instead add/uncomment the line:  
  
#define EXP \_\_declspec(dllexport)  
  
and then retry. This line is usually needed to tell the linker that mexFunction() is an   
externally accessible function, however it never worked with my setup (Matlab-5 + VisualC  
++98), so i had to disable it.  
  
Tell me if it works. I think you are the first person to touch or try to compile the C code of   
PTB-3 for Windows yourself since it was created 14 months ago, so your experience is a   
bit bumpy, i guess ;-)  
  
good luck,  
-mario

yes i get the lastest trunk version but i didn't comment out the ligne   
#define EXP // nothing   
and i didn't uncomment the line   
#define EXP \_\_declspec(dllexport)  
  

> \> Did you create a separate mex file? Does it need special drivers?

i didn't create a separate mex file. I build the project with  
"microsoft visual studio .net". i added "winmm.lib" in the librairies.  
I comment the ligne  
typedef boolean mxLogical;  
in "psychConstant.h". I added all the .c files which was in the  
"Screen " folder but which was not in the project. And to finish i  
added a "MexWindowsExports.def" file in the project :   
LIBRARY Screen  
EXPORTS  
 mexFunction  
For GetTablet, it need the Wintab driver.

To open the tablet context i need the identifier of the window so i  
don't think i can use a separate mex file, do you?  
  
best,
