Experimental Physics and
Industrial Control System

There are few more interesting cases which I've found so far :

1) EPICS Base version
2) Linux Distribution (Debian, CentOS)

The following README may help your case.

Hej,

You can have a look here:
(Which packets to install)

https://github.com/jeonghanlee/pkg_automation/blob/master/pkg_automation.bash

Or here:
   https://github.com/jeonghanlee/extensions.git

Or here:

https://github.com/EuropeanSpallationSource/extensions/tree/paths_for_Debian

In other words, I think it makes sense to have a script, which does install
all packages needed, and then you may need to patch the Makefile
(or any better integration of this patch, needed for Debian 9 at least):

cat patches/Xp_is_not_needed.p0.patch
diff --git medm/Makefile medm/Makefile

Andrew,
Would it make sense to have a ./configure script in extensions/ ?
I may be able to provide a pacth & pull request some day..

Hey Andrew,

I'm not using MEDM but libXt-dev is not listed for Ubuntu on the webpage. Maybe it is a dependency of one of the other packages?

I just checked which package contains libXt.so and found libXt-dev.

Usually the lib packages contain libXXX.so.VERSION and the corresponding development packages contain the libXXX.so and libXXX.a files.

If the linker doesn't find the shared object it tries the static one. I guess that's why the error message quotes

 > *** No rule to make target `/usr/lib64/libXt.a', needed by `medm'.

Cheers,

Hi Florian,

Is this in addition to the list of packages given on the MEDM web-page <https://epics.anl.gov/extensions/medm/index.php> ? That does mention Ubuntu 14.04 which is what I was testing against when I added that list.

Strictly speaking the build says it's looking for libXt.a but it should be happy with a copy of libXt.so instead, unless you have configured the build for static linking.

Hey,

at least under debian, you need to install the package libxt-dev.

Guess it's the same under Ubuntu.

Hope this helps!

Cheers,

Florian

I just tried to build medm using epics base-3.14.12.5 on Ubuntu 14.04. It gives an error:

I suspect a configuration error. Any suggestions?

Thanks
