RE: Epics 3.14.8.2 for Windows still has problems

["Liyu, Andrei" <liyua@ornl.gov>]

Andrew,

"perl /epics/base/bin/win32-x86/makeBaseApp.pl -t example example"
doesn't work. (It is not *unix.) I also tried perl -V. Please, look
attachment. 

When I did
>set EPICS_MBA_TEMPLATE_TOP=c:/epics/base/template/makeBaseApp/top
Then 
C:\testioc>perl ../epics/base/bin/win32-x86/makeBaseApp.pl -t example
example
began to work.

Thanks,
Andrei.

I think it's getting confused by the back-slashes, because in both of 
the following examples ...

> C:\testioc>perl ../epics/base/bin/win32-x86/makeBaseApp.pl -t example
> example
> Can't find template top directory
>

... it at least succeeded in finding EPICS Base - the error message is 
different, and the later errors only occur if it did find Base properly.

I think you should try
     perl /epics/base/bin/win32-x86/makeBaseApp.pl -t example example
i.e. no c: or ..s, just an absolute path on the current drive using 
forward slashes.  Oh, and make sure that you don't have a 
C:\testioc\configure directory, since the contents of a RELEASE file 
will override the command line.  I'm also assuming that you haven't 
tried setting the %EPICS_MBA_TEMPLATE_TOP% environment variable since 
that will also change things.

If the above doesn't work, please also post the output from 'perl -V'
