Hi Andrew,

I am trying what you suggested, but I am having problems. I deleted /usr/local/vw/vxWorks-6.9 and made that a soft link to /usr/local/vw/vxWorks-6.9.4.

corvette:local/epics/base-7.0.4>ls -ld /usr/local/vw/vx*

-rw-rw-r-- 1 epics domain users 980391644 Jan 6 2017 /usr/local/vw/vxWorks-6.8.tar.gz

lrwxrwxrwx 1 epics domain users 13 Jun 4 08:10 /usr/local/vw/vxWorks-6.9 -> vxWorks-6.9.4

drwxrwsr-x 5 epics domain users 122 Sep 24 2014 /usr/local/vw/vxWorks-6.9.4

If I use the distribution version of CONFIG_SITE.Common.vxWorksCommon from base 7.0.4 I then get these errors:

corvette:local/epics/base-7.0.4>make -sj

make[4]: /usr/local/vw/vxWorks-6.9/gnu/4.3.3-vxworks-6.9/x86-linux2/bin/ccppc: Command not found

That is because the compiler path is

/usr/local/vw/vxWorks-6.9/gnu/4.3.3-vxworks-6.9.4/x86-linux2/bin/ccppc

not

/usr/local/vw/vxWorks-6.9/gnu/4.3.3-vxworks-6.9/x86-linux2/bin/ccppc.

If I change CONFIG_SITE.Common.vxWorksCommon as follows:

index 0b0654a..9e97ec5 100644

--- a/configure/os/CONFIG_SITE.Common.vxWorksCommon

+++ b/configure/os/CONFIG_SITE.Common.vxWorksCommon

#VXWORKS_VERSION = 6.6

#VXWORKS_VERSION = 6.7

-VXWORKS_VERSION = 6.9

+VXWORKS_VERSION = 6.9.4

I then get these errors:

make[4]: /usr/local/vw/vxWorks-6.9.4/gnu/-vxworks-6.9.4/x86-linux2/bin/ccppc: Command not found

What do I need to do to use the distributed version of CONFIG_SITE.Common.vxWorksCommon?

My /usr/local/vw/vxWorks-6.9.4 tree is a direct copy from APSshare.

Thanks,

Mark

The problem was indeed related to that message. Somehow this file in my base/configure/os got changed. I changed it back:

Your “wrong” configuration is the APS Accelerator IOC’s “right” configuration and hence how the EPICS source code normally comes. If you can you might want to rename your old vxWorks-6.9 directory to something else to catch this sooner in case it happens again with another release; or just remove the original 6.9 tree completely and make that a soft-link to the newer release.

Complexity comes for free, simplicity you have to work for.
