Hi Richard,

Thanks for finding that problem.  

R1-9 does not work with detectors that use TCP socket servers (Pilatus, marCCD, mar345, PSL, and Bruker) because drvAsynIPPort.dbd was not being included in the build.

The R1-9-1 release notes contain a link to a patch for R1-9:

http://cars9.uchicago.edu/software/epics/areaDetectorReleaseNotes.html

R1-9-1 does not exist yet.  I will release it next week, after seeing if any other problems are found.

Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark,

I'm having a problem running (not building) the Pilatus driver.

I noticed this commit in the areaDetector repository:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
r15685 | rivers | 2012-12-13 19:31:44 +0000 (Thu, 13 Dec 2012) | 1 line
Changed paths:
   D /areaDetector/trunk/ADApp/pilatusSrc/pilatusDetectorAppInclude.dbd

Now built dynamically
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Trouble is, I'm not sure that file is built dynamically :-|

All I do with the source code is:
* Modify configure/RELEASE as appropriate
* make
* Set the camserver hostname in iocBoot/iocPilatus/st.cmd to "localhost" (for testing)
* Run pilatusDetectorApp with st.cmd

The results with different versions are:

* 1-8 - builds fine, runs fine, connects to (fake) camserver.

* 1-9 - builds fine, but when run, reports the error "st.cmd -- Line 16 -- Command drvAsynIPPortConfigure not found."

* 1-9, with pilatusDetectorAppInclude.dbd from 1-8 - builds and runs fine.

Am I missing a step, or is there really a problem with pilatusDetectorAppInclude.dbd no longer being included?

Thanks,

Richard
