Thanks.  Using those soft-links worked.

Hi Mark,

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.

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

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

I then get these errors:

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.

 

Oops, yeah unfortunately APSshare is a slightly non-standard VxWorks installation because of the need for APSShare to support both 6.9 and 6.9.4.1 simultaneously, so Ron Sluiter moved some things around inside when he added the 6.9.4 tree, sorry I forgot about those internal paths.

 

You would need to add soft-links inside your tree or rename two internal vxWorks-6.9.4 directories to go back to using my standard paths. Here’s your full recipe using soft-links (untested):

 

cd /usr/local/vw

ln -s vxWorks-6.9.4 vxWorks-6.9

cd vxWorks-6.9.4

ln -s vxWorks-6.9.4 vxWorks-6.9

ln -s gnu/4.3.3-vxworks-6.9.4 gnu/4.3.3-vxworks-6.9

 

HTH,

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.
