RE: EPICS base 3.15.0.2

Hi Andrew,

I have no EPICS_BASE variable defined (I checked). 

As a test, I copied D:\EPICS\base\include to d:\EPICS\include, then reproduced the build error.

I think you should be able to reproduce this anomaly in a similar manner.

My mistake. I'm not quite sure how this happened.
I re-unpacked the raw downloaded file, and found that you are correct.

Cheers,

Peter.

Ok, that's a relief. If you have an environment variable EPICS_BASE pointing to D:\EPICS (and not to D:\EPICS\base) I think that might explain the behaviour of our build system.

I don't think so:

The current version on the 3.15 branch can also be viewed online at http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~epics-core/epics-base/3.15/view/head:/src/std/softIoc/base.dbd

That looks OK, bar what appear to be typo's pcDataCPP and pcAccessCPP which might affect your ability to use some V4 modules. The G:\ drive is Janet's default Windows setup.
