Building base 7.0.6 with parallel make fails on windows-x64

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

I tried to build base 7.0.6 on windows-x64 using “make –sj8” on an 8-core machine.  It failed as follows:

 

softIoc_registerRecordDeviceDriver.cpp

softMain.cpp

   Creating library dbRecStd.lib and object dbRecStd.exp

Generating code

dbdExpand.pl: Can't find file 'dbCommon.dbd'

  while reading 'base.dbd' to create 'recTestIoc.dbd'

dbdExpand.pl: Exiting due to errors

make[5]: *** [../../../../../../configure/RULES.Db:403: ../O.Common/recTestIoc.dbd] Error 2

make[5]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

make[4]: *** [../../../../../configure/RULES_ARCHS:58: install.windows-x64] Error 2

make[3]: *** [../../../configure/RULES_DIRS:85: std/rec.install] Error 2

make[3]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

ioRecord.c

lnkStateTest.c

 

I did not see any others before that one.

 

Running make –sj8 again appeared to work although it started with this message:

 

H:\epics-devel\base-7.0.6>make -sj8

'..' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

asTestLib.c

dbHeaderTest.c

arrayOpTest.c
