Re: Error compiling waveProc1-0 on base 3.14.12

[Eric Norum <eric@norum.ca>]

Have you made any changes to the Makefiles?  What version of OS X are you using?

Here's what I did this morning to check this:

1) Downloaded and unpacked waveProc1-0.tar.gz.

2) Edited the configure/RELEASE file and changed the EPICS_BASE assignment to

EPICS_BASE=/usr/local/epics/R3.14.12/base

3) Ran 'make' -- things built fine.

I tried this on both darwin-x86 (10.6.5) and linux-x86_64 hosts and for RTEMS-mvme2100 and RTEMS-mvme3100 targets.

Hi,

When compiling waveProc1-0 under base 3.14.12 the following error is displayed:

EPICS/Release.pm: Circular definition of macro TOP
make -C ./configure install
EPICS/Release.pm: Circular definition of macro TOP
make -C O.darwin-x86 -f ../Makefile TOP=../.. T_A=darwin-x86 install
EPICS/Release.pm: Circular definition of macro TOP

EPICS/Release.pm: Circular definition of macro TOP
make[2]: *** [checkRelease] Error 2
make[1]: *** [install.darwin-x86] Error 2
make: *** [configure.install] Error 2

Under 3.14.11 waveProc compiles ok. It seems that Release.pm is more restrictive now compares with previous version. I'm not sure who is correct the new version of Release.pm or waveProc? I could not identify where in waveProc is the circular definition of macro TOP.

Any help would be much appreciated.
Regards,
