linking user space and kernel space programs with qmake

[jacek]

But can you tell me how I would go about compiling that?

It should be enough to run "qmake && make" in the directory where rt.pro is located (if it doesn't want to work, you will have to run qmake in the frontend directory too).

Hey thanks guys, it works now!!!!

For anybody else interested or is having the same problem, the solution was to follow each suggestion listed above, as well as write a short script to copy the object file of the kernel program and the compiled program (above rt_client) into a seperate folder. There I also included a .runinfo file, which is necessary to load the real-time parts of rt_client (otherwise when I just ran ./rt_client no real-time sampling occured in my system). Once those three files were there I typed rtai-load at the command prompt (while in that folder) and the program ran just like it should!

You can tweak above files to do the same automatically.
