Greetings,

This is my second post.

I have attached a
single script native builds EPICS-­3­-14-­12 on x86_PC
and BBB (BeagleBone Black);
Ubuntu-­12.­04-­LTS (x86_PC) and Angstrom (BBB) Linux.

#KWP: UNDER CONSTRUCTION! Comments and suggestions welcome!

#KWP:   The objective if this script is to become:
#> procedure/script to install EPICS-­R3.14.12 specifically on an
#> x86 PC with a freshly installed Ubuntu-­12.04-­LTS operating system;
#> targeted at students, from post­graduate to elementary levels.
#> What would our lives have been like if we had
#> access to such a thing when we were 10 years old?
#>
#> I am interested in the application of
#> EPICS­-R3.14.12 as a backbone of the Built Environment.

# This builds what I consider to be an EPICS Core system:
#   EPICS-­3-­14­-12
#   Process Variable Gateway
#   State Notation Language Compiler/Sequencer*
#       * the BBB does not build the Sequencer due to
#         re2c not being ported to Angstrom Linux, yet


It is not complete yet, the resulting installation is configured for localhost.

I am posting it at this time to ask for guidance in configuring it for
Ethernet operation.

# I think configuring these properly should get it going
#   export  EPICS_CA_ADDR_LIST=localhost
#   export  EPICS_CA_AUTO_ADDR_LIST=NO
#   export  EPICS_CAS_INTF_ADDR_LIST=localhost

Also, I have not yet written the documentation required for my
eventual target audience:
#> targeted at students, from post­graduate to elementary levels.

However, because I believe that the PV Gateway is such a critical element of
what I consider the EPICS Core (Base-3-14-12, Gateway, SNL Compiler/Sequencer),
I have re-formatted the Gateway Users Guide HTML version into
a human formatted PDF version.
