RE: synApps_5_8 build error

[Mark Rivers <rivers@cars.uchicago.edu>]

If you change /home/control/epics/support/synApps_5_8/support/configure/RELEASE to define

SUPPORT=/home/control/epics/support/synApps_5_8/support/
EPICS_BASE=/home/control/epics/base-3.14.12.3

does that fix the problem?  Maybe it is not picking up the environment variables correctly.

Hi

I downloaded the mentioned version of synApps and I modified SUPPORT and EPICS_BASE in configure/RELEASE file as:

SUPPORT=$(SYNAPPS_SUPPORT)
EPICS_BASE=$(ENV_EPICS_BASE)

These variables are already defined in .bashrc and exported. The list of modules for our site is

Asyn
Allen_Bradlley
Autosave
Busy (Added to resolve a similar error at compiling asyn )
Calc
IP
IPAC
Motor
SNCSEQ
SSCAN
STREAM

Executing 'make release' then make gives the following:

Definition of SNCSEQ conflicts with SUPPORT support.
In this application a RELEASE file defines
                SNCSEQ = /home/control/epics/support/synApps_5_8/support/seq-2-2-1
but SUPPORT at /home/control/epics/support/synApps_5_8/support defines
                SNCSEQ = /seq-2-2-1
Definition of EPICS_BASE conflicts with SUPPORT support.
In this application a RELEASE file defines
                EPICS_BASE = /home/control/epics/base-3.14.12.3
but SUPPORT at /home/control/epics/support/synApps_5_8/support defines
                EPICS_BASE =
Definition of SUPPORT conflicts with SUPPORT support.
In this application a RELEASE file defines
                SUPPORT = /home/control/epics/support/synApps_5_8/support
but SUPPORT at /home/control/epics/support/synApps_5_8/support defines
                SUPPORT =

I have no clue of where these wrong definitions are. I thought of giving hard coded paths for the aforementioned variables instead of env ones and the build works fine. I believe on synApps 5.6 we did not face that error.
