Hi Juri,

Good morning,



I built 3.14.12.1 on Windows 7 with Visual Studio 2010 straightforward. Patch,  http://www.aps.anl.gov/epics/tech-talk/2010/msg00595.php , is not necessary. I did it with make-3.82-3-mingw32 and ActivePerl-5.12.2.1203-MSWin32-x86



It should work! (Provided paths and environment variables are right.) The only thing I had to do was to run the bat file:



"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\Tools\vsvars32.bat"



(use quotation marks for entering this command line) On success it prints out:



Setting environment for using Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 x86 tools.



set  EPICS_HOST_ARCH=win32-x86

C:\MinGW\bin\mingw32-make (while standing in the EPICS base directory).





Cheers,



J. Tagger
