I’m using GNU make version 3.81. 

 

I saw that message regarding multiple patterns, as well.  Not sure what I did to create that situation or how to resolve it.

Hello Florencio,

What version of 'make' are you using (make -v)?

The message, "multiple target patterns", is coming
from GNU make, but I don't know what it means.

See page #155 of the GNU make Version 3.82 Manual,

there are multiple patterns in the target section;

Hello all,

 

I’ve just installed EPICS base (3.14.12.1) on Windows XP with Cygwin (EPICS_HOST_ARCH = cygwin-x86).   To verify the installation, I was attempting to building the Example IOC application (per Section 2.2 of the Application Developer’s Guide). 

 

Unfortunately, I am encountering the following errors upon attempting to compile:

 

$ make

make -C ./configure install

make[1]: Entering directory `/cygdrive/c/mytop/configure'

make -C O.cygwin-x86 -f ../Makefile TOP=../.. T_A=cygwin-x86 install

make[2]: Entering directory `/cygdrive/c/mytop/configure/O.cygwin-x86'

perl c:/EPICS/base/bin/cygwin-x86/convertRelease.pl checkRelease

make[1]: *** [src.install] Error 2

make[1]: Leaving directory `/cygdrive/c/mytop/myexampleApp'

Not sure if this is an indication that I have a bad EPICS base build and/or have something lacking in my environment, etc.  Any help/info/assistance will be greatly appreciated. 

 

 

Thanks in advance,
