Re: IOC make failing on a new linux build, Perl checkrelease

[Han Lee via Tech-talk <tech-talk at aps.anl.gov>]

Please try to use the following trick, and you will see the EPICS IOC can compile your IOC.

echo "CHECK_RELEASE=NO" > configure/CONFIG_SITE.local

However, I recommend using an absolute path of EPICS BASE.

Best,

Han

P.S. CONFIG file and convertRelease.pl have an `EPICS_BASE` checker in different scenarios. You can go ahead and check them.

Took one of our IOCs and tried to run make on a new build, getting EPICS_BASE needs to be defined in release file but it is.  This ioc will build on all of other linux machines but for some reason not this one. 

Checked the release file and it’s defined, double checked to make sure HOME was echoing correctly in command prompt.  Made sure that the path CDs into the directory as well.

EPICS_BASE=${HOME}/epics/base

If I write out the full path seems to compile fine but for some reason the env variable home is not making it into the release file.  Feel like I am missing something obvious when we set up our other machines vs this new build. 



Thanks
