Hi Torsten and Ralph,
  • Btw. I should have mentioned before: You only need to add the *_DIR line if the library is not in one of the system paths. Libraries in system paths are always found - adding them to *_LIBS is enough.
Actually if the library is in the system path then it needs to be added to SYS_LIBS, not _LIBS.

This is an example of a Makefile that allows the vendor library to either be in a system location or in a user-defined location.  The latter might be used when the developer does not have permission to install the vendor library into a system location, or wants to test a newer version than the one in the system location:

https://github.com/epics-modules/measComp/blob/master/measCompApp/src/Makefile

CONFIG_SITE contains these lines:

#################################
# Set this if the Measurement Computing uldaq library is installed on Linux.
# If this is not YES then this module will not be built on Linux.
HAVE_ULDAQ=YES

# If libuldaq on Linux is not installed in a system directory (e.g. /usr/local)
# then uncomment and edit these lines to define the location of the include and lib directories.
#ULDAQ_DIR=/home/epics/local/lib
#ULDAQ_INCLUDE=/home/epics/local/include
#################################

The Makefile contains these lines:

#################################
ifdef ULDAQ_INCLUDE
  USR_INCLUDES_Linux += -I$(ULDAQ_INCLUDE)
endif

ifdef ULDAQ_DIR
  uldaq_DIR = $(ULDAQ_DIR)
endif

ifeq ($(HAVE_ULDAQ), YES)
  LIBRARY_IOC_Linux+= measComp
endif

ifdef ULDAQ_DIR
  measCompApp_LIBS_Linux += uldaq
else
  measCompApp_SYS_LIBS_Linux += uldaq
endif
measCompApp_SYS_LIBS_Linux += usb-1.0
#################################

So if ULDAQ_DIR is defined then it adds uldaq to LIBS. If ULDAQ_DIR is not defined then it adds uldaq to SYS_LIBS.  

It handles Linux and Windows separately because the vendor provides a pre-built library for Windows which I include in the EPICS module, but they provide source code on Linux which needs to be built locally.  That can be installed into a system directory or not depending on developer privileges.

Mark

Well,

In that Makefile, the PROD is "ethercatmc", not "ethercatmcsupport".

ethercatmc_LIBS += Vendor
Vendor_DIR = /usr/local/lib

should construct the linker line as you expect.

Btw. I should have mentioned before: You only need to add the *_DIR line if the library is not in one of the system paths. Libraries in system paths are always found - adding them to *_LIBS is enough.

Cheers,
