Vladimir,

 

I typically use the native win32 port of EPICS instead of the cygwin port. The cygwin port uses the cygwin POSIX emulation interfaces layered on WIN32. There have been some problems with that configuration in the past, but I have not played with it recently. There might also be an option to build the native win32 port with cygwin tools, but no one has attempted to create the appropriate EPICS configuration files so far. I have used both visual C++ and the free Borland distribution to build the native win32 port.

 

Jeff

Subject: build base 3.14.7 on Windows XP under cygwin

 

Hi,

 

I am trying to build base EPICS 3.14.7 on Windows XP using latest version of cygwin and I just wondering if someone did it lately.

It looks like I am doing something wrong because what I saw was:

1) missing file README@vxWorks, I had to import it into the directory base-3.14.7/src/makeBaseApp/top/exampleBoot/ioc from the internet 

2) I had to remove line #25 (blank line) from base-3.14.7/src/dbStatic/dbLex.l (otherwise compillation failed)

3) now I have problem with menuConvert.dbd in base-3.14.7/src/bpt directory

 

$ pwd
/epics3.14.7/base-3.14.7/src/bpt

 

$ make cygwin-x86
make -C O.cygwin-x86 -f ../Makefile TOP=../../.. T_A=cygwin-x86
make[1]: Entering directory `/epics3.14.7/base-3.14.7/src/bpt/O.cygwin-x86'
../../../bin/cygwin-x86/dbToMenuH.exe ../menuConvert.dbd ../O.Common/menuConvert
.h
Error "syntax error"  Last token "menu"
input line: menu(menuConvert) {
   in: file ../menuConvert.dbd line 10

 

db_parse returned -1
Terminal error For input file ../menuConvert.dbd
make[1]: *** [../O.Common/menuConvert.h] Error 255
make[1]: Leaving directory `/epics3.14.7/base-3.14.7/src/bpt/O.cygwin-x86'
make: *** [cygwin-x86] Error 2

 

Can someone give any hint?

 

Thanks,

Vladimir
