RE: Compiling IOC with sequencer from scratch. seq command not found.

Did you remember to add the registrar command for your sequencer program to your application dbd file?

Subject: Compiling IOC with sequencer from scratch. seq command not found.

 

Hello all, good evening.

Im sorry if the doubt is trivial, but i cant find what the problem is.
Since makeBaseApp.pl -t example ioc generates several things that i dont need in my application, im trying to compile a sequencer stateMachine from scratch, with makeBaseApp -t ioc. Following the documentation (https://www-csr.bessy.de/control/SoftDist/sequencer/Installation.html#configure-and-build) i did:

> makeBaseApp.pl -t ioc SoftKin
> makeBaseApp.pl -i -t ioc SoftKin

Added the path to my sequencer installation as SNCSEQ in configure/RELEASE file. Added an example state machine file called Kinematics.stt in SoftKinApp/src/ folder and in the Makefile:

SoftKin_SRCS += Kinematics.stt
SoftKin_LIBS += seq pv

I compiled it and it went OK. Kinematics.stt was clearly transformed into a cpp code and then compiled.

However, when starting the IOC, at the end of my cmd file i get:

seq Kinematics,"BLP=SOL:,HP=S:,MP=m1"
st.cmd line 22: Command seq not found.

Am i forgetting something in the Makefiles? I tried using the examples of makeBaseApp.pl to understand what is missing but i think im getting lost in application name conversions. I append cmd file, configure/RELEASE and SoftKin/src/Makefil at the end of this e-mail.

Thanks for any suggestions,

Marco
