Hey there!

Short version:
- I have two existing C++ Projects. One is a windows based Borland C++ Builder 6 Project. The other one is this: http://projects.hepforge.org/eudaq/
So - after downloading it is a couple of files and folders. (I downloaded it to a Linux machine, compiled it there - and what I got to test... works.)

- Now I want to combine the two projects... The second project can be compiled in windows I think?? I don't have any experience with cygwin though. Anyway first of all... what I would like to do is importing those eudaq folders into the Borland project, right?? But I don't have a clue, how :( And then comes the cygwin part I guess...
Does anyone know what to do??


Long version (explanations) :
I have to do some coding for my thesis @ uni. My advisor has already done some coding. He created a few buttons and stuff + underlying functionality in Borland C++ Builder 6. That project contains functions to let (the machine running it) communicate with a device connected via USB. It sends commands to adjust settings on the device. It can also acquire raw data from the device (which is a sensor - lets say 'camera').

Now after reading data from the device I want to send it to a monitoring machine. Basic classes to do that are already available as well:
http://projects.hepforge.org/eudaq/

I have downloaded that project, made some minor modifications, compiled it and run it on a linux machine. But the function, that I am trying to come up with will have to read the data via USB (Project 1) and send the data (Project 2 - EUDAQ). So I think I have to include the EUDAQ folders into the Borland project. But how?? :( And then cygwin comes into play as well??



Help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
