Hi,

If I unpack seq 2.2.8 into the epics-base/modules area I get the same build error as mentioned for the example with epics 7 (master). If I move the seq directory to outside of the modules area, then everything works fine. 

What I think is happening is that when seq 2.2.8 is placed in the epics-base/modules area its binaries are installed into epics-base/bin rather than seq/bin. The .st/.stt compile rules for the seq assume the snc executable is installed in $(SNCSEQ)/bin and so they then fail. 

The CONFIG_SITE.local  in epics-base/modules sets INSTALL_LOCATION to epics-base/bin, in seq 2.2.8 its CONFIG_SITE includes $(TOP)/../ CONFIG_SITE.local whereas in 2.2.5 this is not done, which I suspect is why seq 2.2.5 works ok.       

Regards,

Freddie

Indeed this is quite strange. The build rules haven't changed at all between 2.2.5 and 2.2.8.

Freddie, can you look into that? I cannot reproduce the problem on Linux.
