Andrew,

What is a munch file? Why doesn't my bin\vxWorks-ppc603 folder include a vxTestHarness.munch file?

What is and how to link all the vxWorks binaries into a single .munch file??

Let me know.

Thanks,

Lorna Zhang

Can you try running the libCom test suite into your vxWorks system and running
it.  Instead of booting an IOC, load the bin/vxWorks-*/vxTestHarness.munch
file from Base for your architecture and run the command epicsRunLibComTests
to execute all of the tests, or for the epicsThreadPrivate facility alone you
would run the command epicsThreadPrivateTest.  If what you say above is
correct then that test will fail.

However I have an explanation if that test does not fail; I think the problem
you're seeing might be caused by loading two copies of libCom into the IOC,
which will definitely *not* work properly.  If your startup script loads more
than one .munch file, only the first one you load should be linked against the
$(EPICS_BASE_IOC_LIBS).  I usually recommend that you link all of your vxWorks
binaries into a single .munch file, but you can load multiple files as long
you're careful how you build them.

HTH,
