Re: Error on building Epics base-3.14.8.2 on Windows XP having VC++ 6.0

[Janet Anderson <jba@aps.anl.gov>]

Look at the file base/configure/os/CONFIG_SITE.win32-x86.win32-x86.
You should uncomment the lines following the comment

# Microsoft Visual C++ .NET is the default compiler
# If you have Visual C++ 6.0, uncomment the following override lines
# This will to eliminate warnings about unknown options /GL, /LTCG, and 
/w44355.
