Hello Zhichu,

One of the great thing about EPICS is that there is no
fundamental difference in either the directory structures or build
files between EPICS base, an EPICS support module, an
EPICS extension or the "home" directory of an EPICS IOC.
They all have the same basic <top> directory structure
described in the Application Developer’s Guide;

A <top> directory has the following directory structure:
<top>/
Makefile
configure/
dir1/
dir2/

My suggestion is to use makeBaseApp.pl to create your
support module directory structure, Makefiles, CONFIG
files, etc., and then make modifications to suit your support
module.

Hope this helps,
Ron

Hi,

Just curiosity, is there any manuals that I can follow? I have written a
device support and I would love to make a module version so that
maintenance would be easier for me. I can't find any clue in the
AppDevGuide, so I checked the snc/seq module and now I'm trying
to follow it.

May some of you guys explain the basic steps for me? Like is there
a makeModuleApp.pl script to create a template (I don't want to write
all those Makefile files and CONFIG files), how should I construct
the directory structure tree, how to make the application find it (I
find that I can just add "SNCSEQ=/path/to/seq" to the RELEASE
file to make the app know where to find the lib files, why? Can I
use a random name there like "MYLIB"?).
