Hi Alper,


What version of EPICS base are you using?  ntndarray.h is part of the "EPICS V4" or pvAccess code.  In versions of EPICS base prior to 7.0 the EPICS V4 code is a separate package that you need to build if you want to use it.  This is where it is located on my system:


corvette:/usr/local>find epics/epicsV4/EPICS-CPP-4.6.0 -name ntndarray.h
epics/epicsV4/EPICS-CPP-4.6.0/normativeTypesCPP/include/pv/ntndarray.h

On base 7.0 and higher it is part of base itself:

corvette:/usr/local>find epics-devel/base-7.0.1/ -name ntndarray.h
epics-devel/base-7.0.1/include/pv/ntndarray.h

If you want to use the pvAccess plugin or driver in areaDetector you need to set WITH_PVA=YES in areaDetector/configure/CONFIG_SITE* files.  If you are using base 3.x then you also need to define the locations of the PVA libraries in RELEASE_PATHS.local* and RELEASE_LIBS.local* like this:


# PVA modules
# For versions prior to EPICS base 7.0 use this
PVCOMMON=$(PVA)/pvCommonCPP
PVACCESS=$(PVA)/pvAccessCPP
PVDATA=$(PVA)/pvDataCPP
PVDATABASE=$(PVA)/pvDatabaseCPP
NORMATIVETYPES=$(PVA)/normativeTypesCPP

If you don't want to use the pvAccess plugin or driver then set WITH_PVA=NO in the CONFIG_SITE* files and it will not try to use them.

This is explained in the installation guide:

Let me know if you have more questions.

Mark

Subject: ntndArrayConverter.h issue while ADCore compilation

Dear All,

I am compiling ADCore from areaDetector 3-2 but I hit an error in compiling ntndArrayConverter.cpp. Please see below:

../ntndArrayConverter.h:2:26: fatal error: pv/ntndarray.h: No such file or directory

The header file ntndArrayConverter.h looks for pv/ntndarray.h but I couldn't locate this pv folder.

I appreciate any help. Thank you.

Best,
Alper
