Portable Channel Access Server on vxWorks

[Dirk Zimoch <dirk.zimoch@psi.ch>]

Hi Jeff, others,

we are trying to get the portable channel access server (from R3.14.8.2) running 
on a pure vxWorks system (no EPICS IOC).

The first thing I noticed was that several C++ template instances were missing:

#include <ipIgnoreEntry.h>
#include <casChannelI.h>
template class resTable < ipIgnoreEntry, ipIgnoreEntry >;
template class resTable < casChannelI, chronIntId >;
template class resTable < casEventMaskEntry, stringId >;
template class chronIntIdResTable < casChannelI >;
template tsFreeList < casMonEvent, 1024, epicsMutexNOOP >;
template tsFreeList < casMonitor, 1024, epicsMutex >;
template tsFreeList < ipIgnoreEntry, 128, epicsMutex >;

There is no templateInstances.cpp file in cas as it is in some other EPICS base 
libraries. This should probably be added.

After adding those instances (which required to #include a few "private" header 
files which are not installed normally), I got a loadable *.munch library. But 
the server still seems not to work as under Linux. (It does not reply on caget.) 
Is there something special to do on vxWorks? Has anyone else ever run cas on 
vxWorks?

Dirk
