Re: genSub and synApps 5_4_1

[Tim Mooney <mooney@aps.anl.gov>]

Emmanuel,  The genSub record was removed from synApps, beginning with 
version 5.4,
because EPICS, beginning with version 3.14.10, implements the aSub 
record, which is a
drop-in replacement for most uses of the genSub record.

To convert a subroutine from genSub to aSub, globally replace 
'genSubRecord' with 'aSubRecord'.
To convert a database from using the genSub record to using the aSub 
record, globally
replace 'genSub' with 'aSub'.

To convert a Makefile that linked with genSub to one that doesn't, 
remove lines of the form
   calcApp_LIBS += genSub
from the Makefile.

I think that's all you should have to do, though you may also have to modify
configure/RELEASE, and your .dbd files, depending on how your application
referenced genSub support.
