RE: Windows busy build error - epics 3.14.12.1

[Mark Rivers <rivers@cars.uchicago.edu>]

Hi Emma,

There is a 4'th choice as well:

- Use the prebuilt version of areaDetector for the windows-x64 platform.

If you want to build it yourself I would recommend just switching to VS 2008.

Hi Emma,

Unfortunately that problem is more difficult.

It is arising because the GraphicsMagick library supplied with areaDetector was built with Visual Studio 2008, and you are building with VS 2010.  Microsoft changed their C++ library in incompatible ways between those 2 releases.

You have 3 choices:

- Build GraphicsMagick yourself with Visual Studio 2010.
- Use Visual Studio 2008 instead of 2010
- Change the Makefiles and dbd files in areaDetector to eliminate the use of GraphicsMagick.  That will mean eliminating URLDriver and NDFileMagick.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the reply.  Yes - I have defined ASYN in busy/configure/RELEASE.  I actually just came across your suggestion elsewhere (setting STATIC_BUILD=YES and SHARED_LIBRARIES=NO in base), and that does make the busy module build successfully.

I've run into the next problem now though!  Building AreaDetector 1-7 fails with a link error:

Hopefully just another simple configuration I'm missing?

Hi Emma,

Have you defined ASYN in busy/configure/RELEASE?  It is optional, and the Makefile should work without it, but you need to define it if you plan to use busy with areaDetector.

It looks like you are building dynamically (i.e. building .dll files), because otherwise it would not need asyn when building the library, only when building an executable.

This should work, but it's possible there is a problem somewhere that has not been found, because most people build for Windows statically, not dynamically.

If you want to build areaDetector then I don't think you can build dynamically, some of the libraries supplied with areaDetector (e.g. GraphicsMagick) require a static build.

I suggest you change

EPICS_BASE/configure/os/CONFIG_SITE.windows-x64.windows-x64

to define

STATIC_BUILD=YES
SHARED_LIBRARIES=NO

You then need to rebuild base and synApps.

Mark

Hi folks,

Banging my head against a Windows build error...

I'm trying to get to the stage where I can build AreaDetector 1-7 on 64-bit Windows 7.  I can successfully build base-13-12-1 and asyn-4-18, but my first hurdle is that busy 1-4 fails with the following link error:

Creating library busy.lib and object busy.exp devBusyAsyn.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol pasynEpicsUtils devBusyAsyn.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol pasynInt32SyncIO devBusyAsyn.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol pasynManager devBusyAsyn.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol pasynTrace busy.dll : fatal error LNK1120: 4 unresolved externals

I'm using Visual Studio 2010, and gnumake.  The problem seems to be with the version of EPICS base, as I get the same problem when I try to compile it as 32-bit as well unless I revert to EPICS 3.14.11.  I can build other modules that depend on asyn just fine (like std).

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Emma
