RE: [make] mingw, gnuwin32, cygwin

You need to build EPICS base for each different EPICS_HOST_ARCH that you want to use.  So for Cygwin you need to set EPICS_HOST_ARCH=cygwin-x86 and build both EPICS base and the modules you want with that setting.  That will create a base/bin/cygwin-x86 and base/lib/cygwin-x86 directories, etc.  Some modules only build on certain architectures, normally because the required drivers or libraries are only supported on those architectures.

pardon me:

Can I install the Epics base using gnuwin32 and MS VS 2010 (which I did), but build applications using MinGW or cygwin?

Because some modules were created for linux only, therefore, for example, I can't install the s7plc driver, because it needs a program called "cat". And cat.exe I found in the cygwin bin directory.
