Hi,
I am trying to access the positioning service from a Go app and I’m stuck on starting the positioning service. Generally, how do you use Legato services from 3rd party apps (in my case a Go app)?
I am using bundles to package the app or just copy the binary to the mangOH green to see whether it works at all.
When I run the app I get le_posCtrl_ConnectService() not called for current thread. I’m assuming that I need to start the positioning service somehow and that this is achieved through the bindings section in the .adef file.
$ cat Makefile

log.Println("Calling le_pos_Get2DLocation")
res2 := C.le_pos_Get2DLocation(&lat, &lon, &acc)
log.Printf("le_pos_Get2DLocation: res: %d lat: %d lon: %d acc: %d\n", res2, lat, lon, acc)
time.Sleep(500*time.Millisecond)
}
}
Running make and copying the file to 192.168.2.2 and running it returns
Jun 9 22:30:00 swi-mdm9x15 user.emerg Legato: *EMR* | _UNKNOWN_[8337]/framework T=main | LE_FILENAME GetCurrentSessionRef() 320 | le_posCtrl_ConnectService() not called for current thread
Adding a call to le_posCtrl_ConnectService() at the start never returns.
I’ve then tried adding generic bindings to the gps.adef file but with no success.
...
bindings:
{
*.le_posCtrl -> positioningService.le_posCtrl
*.le_pos -> positioningService.le_pos
}
mkapp -v -t wp750x gps.adef returns
/go/src/gps/gps.adef:27:6: error: No such client-side pre-built interface 'le_posCtrl'.
I’m probably missing something obvious or this isn’t possible. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Update 1: I am using Legato 16.10.3 on a mangOH green with a WP750x
