Experimental Physics and
Industrial Control System

Hi Mark,

 

 

Thank you for your help.

 

/home/yury/EPICS/configure/EPICS_BASE.linux-x86_64 doesn’t exist. And there is no folder called “configure” in /home/yury/EPICS/.

 

As for asyn/configure/RELEASE file, its contains that I showed are copy-pasted from and according to the

Installation on Linux / MacOS — EPICS Documentation documentation (epics-controls.org)

guide. I deleted all commented lines for brevity.

Here is the whole file:

 

 

# RELEASE Location of external products

# Define the following Required or Optional

# either in this file, or in a RELEASE.local

HOME=/home/yury

#SUPPORT=/corvette/home/epics/support

SUPPORT=$(HOME)/EPICS/support

-include $(TOP)/../configure/SUPPORT.$(EPICS_HOST_ARCH)

# Optional

# IPAC is only necessary if support for Greensprings IP488 is required

# IPAC release V2-7 or later is required.

# It can be obtained here: https://github.com/epics-modules/ipac

#IPAC=$(SUPPORT)/ipac-2-16

# Optional

# SEQ is required for testIPServer

# It can be obtained here: https://www-csr.bessy.de/control/SoftDist/sequencer/Manual.html

#SNCSEQ=$(SUPPORT)/seq-2-2-9

# Optional

# For sCalcout support in asynOctet - applications include asynCalc.dbd

# It can be obtained here: https://github.com/epics-modules/calc

#CALC=$(SUPPORT)/calc-3-7-4

# Optional

# If CALC was built with SSCAN support then SSCAN must be defined for testEpicsApp

# It can be obtained here: https://github.com/epics-modules/sscan

#SSCAN=$(SUPPORT)/sscan-2-11-5

# Required

# EPICS_BASE 3.14.6 or later is required

# It can be obtained here: https://github.com/epics-base/epics-base

#EPICS_BASE=/corvette/usr/local/epics/base-7.0.7

EPICS_BASE=${HOME}/EPICS/epics-base

-include $(TOP)/../configure/EPICS_BASE.$(EPICS_HOST_ARCH)

#-include $(TOP)/../RELEASE.local

#-include $(TOP)/../RELEASE.$(EPICS_HOST_ARCH).local

#-include $(TOP)/configure/RELEASE.local

 

 

 

 

Hi Mark,

 

Yes, I think I did.

My /home/yury/EPICS/support/asyn/configure/RELEASE file looks like that:

 

 

HOME=/home/yury

SUPPORT=$(HOME)/EPICS/support

-include $(TOP)/../configure/SUPPORT.$(EPICS_HOST_ARCH)

EPICS_BASE=${HOME}/EPICS/epics-base

-include $(TOP)/../configure/EPICS_BASE.$(EPICS_HOST_ARCH)

Hi Yury,

 

You need to edit asyn/configure/RELEASE to define the path to EPICS_BASE.  This is what mine looks like:

 

EPICS_BASE=/corvette/usr/local/epics/base-7.0.7

 

Yours should probably look like this:

 

EPICS_BASE=/home/yury/EPICS/epics-base

 

Did you edit that file correctly?

Hi All,

 

I am using virtual machine running ubuntu-22.04.4-desktop-amd64.

I am a newbie in EPICS, trying to follow this guide:

Installation on Linux / MacOS — EPICS Documentation documentation (epics-controls.org)

But when I am trying to build asyn package I have some errors:

 

make

make -C ./configure install

make[1]: Entering directory '/home/yury/EPICS/support/asyn/configure'

make -C O.linux-x86_64 -f ../Makefile TOP=../.. \

    T_A=linux-x86_64 install

make[2]: Entering directory '/home/yury/EPICS/support/asyn/configure/O.linux-x86_64'

perl -CSD /home/yury/EPICS/epics-base/bin/linux-x86_64/convertRelease.pl checkRelease

EPICS_BASE must be set in a configure/RELEASE file.

make[2]: *** [/home/yury/EPICS/epics-base/configure/RULES_BUILD:208: checkRelease] Error 2

make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/yury/EPICS/support/asyn/configure/O.linux-x86_64'

make[1]: *** [/home/yury/EPICS/epics-base/configure/RULES_ARCHS:58: install.linux-x86_64] Error 2

make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/yury/EPICS/support/asyn/configure'

make: *** [/home/yury/EPICS/epics-base/configure/RULES_DIRS:85: configure.install] Error 2

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

 

 

Yury
