RE: Problem building ezcaIDL on Windows

[Mark Rivers via Core-talk <core-talk at aps.anl.gov>]

Note that the existing version of the DLL am using was built in 2013, so it is definitely built with old versions of base and Visual Studio.

 

This is the output of dumpbin/exports, which shows that the DLL is exporting undecorated symbols, which is what I need.

This is the output of dumpbin /imports, which shows that although the DLL uses the Com and ca libraries, they are statically linked into the DLL, there is no dependency of the DLL on Com.dll or ca.dll.  That is what I want, so I can easily distribute the DLL without any dependencies.

Subject: Problem building ezcaIDL on Windows

 

I am trying to build the master branch of https://github.com/epics-extensions/ezcaIDL on windows-x64 with base 7.0.4 and VS 2015.  This used to build OK, either on an earlier version of base or VS or both.

 

This extension builds a shareable library/DLL to call Channel Access from IDL.  It depends on extensions/ezca and extensions/EzcaScan.  Both of those libraries build fine on Windows.

 

ezcaIDL builds fine on Linux.  However, on Windows I get this:

 

H:\epics\extensions\src\ezcaIDL>make

ezcaIDL.dll : fatal error LNK1120: 53 unresolved externals

make[1]: *** [../../../../base/configure/RULES_BUILD:298: ezcaIDL.dll] Error 1120

make[1]: Leaving directory 'H:/epics/extensions/src/ezcaIDL/O.windows-x64'

make: *** [../../../base/configure/RULES_ARCHS:58: install.windows-x64] Error 2

 

Note that it uses a .DEF file to define what symbols should be exported.

 

Has support for that changed?  If so, how do I need to do it now?

 

Thanks,

Mark
