Hello Brandon,

EPICS modules are made aware about the location of other files they must include or link against through the use of the configure/RELEASE file. In StreamDevice, the configure/RELEASE file has the following line:

EPICS_BASE=/usr/local/epics/base-7.0.3

Thus, when you build, the module will try to find certain makefile rules, config files, headers, and libraries it needs in /usr/local/epics/base-7.0.3

When you are adding in a new module, you have to edit the configure/RELEASE file to match up the named macros with the locations where epics-base or the given modules are located on your system.

Subject: Issue installing StreamDevice on CentOS 7
 
Hello,

I am encountering an issue when attempting to install StreamDevice on our CentOS 7.9.2009 machine using this tutorial (step 7): https://epics-controls.org/resources-and-support/documents/getting-started/

When I run make from ~/EPICS/support/stream/StreamDevice, I get these errors:

$ make
configure/CONFIG:18: /usr/local/epics/base-7.0.3/configure/CONFIG: No such file or directory
Makefile:33: /usr/local/epics/base-7.0.3/configure/RULES_TOP: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target `/usr/local/epics/base-7.0.3/configure/RULES_TOP'.  Stop.

Am I supposed to have an epics directory in /usr/local? I am unsure if this is an issue with setting paths correctly or an issue with my epics base install as I do not seem to see anything with the directory structure .../epics/base-7.0.3/...

Thank you,
Brandon
