build base 3.14.7 on Windows XP under cygwin

[Vladimir Sirotenko <sirotenko@fnal.gov>]

Hi,

 

I am trying to build base EPICS 3.14.7 on Windows XP using latest version of cygwin and I just wondering if someone did it lately.

It looks like I am doing something wrong because what I saw was:

1) missing file README@vxWorks, I had to import it into the directory base-3.14.7/src/makeBaseApp/top/exampleBoot/ioc from the internet 

2) I had to remove line #25 (blank line) from base-3.14.7/src/dbStatic/dbLex.l (otherwise compillation failed)

3) now I have problem with menuConvert.dbd in base-3.14.7/src/bpt directory

 

$ pwd
/epics3.14.7/base-3.14.7/src/bpt

 

$ make cygwin-x86
make -C O.cygwin-x86 -f ../Makefile TOP=../../.. T_A=cygwin-x86
make[1]: Entering directory `/epics3.14.7/base-3.14.7/src/bpt/O.cygwin-x86'
../../../bin/cygwin-x86/dbToMenuH.exe ../menuConvert.dbd ../O.Common/menuConvert
.h
Error "syntax error"  Last token "menu"
input line: menu(menuConvert) {
   in: file ../menuConvert.dbd line 10

 

db_parse returned -1
Terminal error For input file ../menuConvert.dbd
make[1]: *** [../O.Common/menuConvert.h] Error 255
make[1]: Leaving directory `/epics3.14.7/base-3.14.7/src/bpt/O.cygwin-x86'
make: *** [cygwin-x86] Error 2

 

Can someone give any hint?

 

Thanks,

Vladimir
