Re: Using SynApps Calc Module

Thanks Mark

Forgot to say I had already added the following to my apps configure/RELEASE 
file, based on looking at what else was already in there.
CALC=/home/steve/epics/calc/2-6-7

This directory is where I had extracted the calc module and done a make. So 
it contains a lib/linux-x86 directory containing libcalc.a and libcalc.so.
Is the second dbd step necessary for the app make?

Just add the path to the calc module to your applications configure/RELEASE 
file.
You don't need to do anything with LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

You do also need to add calcSupport.dbd to you application's xxxInclude.dbd 
file.

Subject: Using SynApps Calc Module



I am trying to use the SynApps calc module in a Linux IOC. I would like to
use sCalcout records in my application. The calc documentation says to
include calcSupport.dbd and link to libcalc. Trying to do the 2nd part first
I tried adding lines like app_LIBS += calc in my Makefiles but I get errors
like

No rule to make target ..... libcalc.a ....

I have already downloaded the calc module and done the make. I hoped adding
the calc lib directory to my LD_LIBRARY_PATH  would then make the
application link work.

Could anyone offer me some advice on how to link libcalc with my application
please.

Thanks

Steve
