Building synApps on Cygwin
The following components from the Cygwin distribution package are required in order to build synApps
for the cygwin-x86 architecture:
- base
- devel
- gcc-core
- gcc-g++
- libncurses-devel
- make
- readline
- interpreters
- libs
To set up the PATH and EPICS_HOST_ARCH environment variables create a script file called
/usr/local/bin/setup_epics containing lines like the following:
export PATH="/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/corvette/usr/local/epics/base/bin/cygwin-x86"
export EPICS_HOST_ARCH=cygwin-x86
The last element in the PATH definition must be the path to the bin/cygwin-x86 subdirectory in your
local installation of EPICS base.
When logging in to the bash shell on cygwin type the command
source setup_epics
to execute that script.
