Re: [makefile] adding a library to an EPICS application

[Pavel Maslov <pavel.masloff@gmail.com>]

As strange as it may seem, though 

DB_INSTALLS += xxx.db

works without specifying the full path, provided all the files are in ./, whereas for any other file extension it requires the full path to that file.

Oh yeah!

It was just in the email. Not only that, but I had made another silly mistake.

So DB_INSTALLS += $(TOP)/xxxApp/Db/TDS.proto was the solution!

Thank you all!

It looks like there is a typo there, it should be Db not DB.  Was that just in the e-mail?

That wouldn't work either.

DB_INSTALLS += TDS.db                                               //works
DB_INSTALLS += $(TOP)/TEKApp/DB/TDS.proto             //does not work

make[3]: Entering directory `/root/applications/epics/apps/TEK2/TEKApp/Db/O.linux-x86'
make[3]: *** No rule to make target `../../../TEKApp/DB/TDS.proto', needed by `../../../db/TDS.proto'.  Stop.

And particularly, MArk and Andrew! Your insights have helped a lot!

Let me ask you one more question. Perhaps, Andrew will give a rightaway answer. What makefile command (in $(TOP)/xxxApp/Db/Makefile) can I use to copy an arbitrary file (in my case $(TOP)/xxxApp/Db/TDS.proto) to $(TOP)/db.

DB_INSTALLS += TDS.proto doesn't work.
Any other thoughts?

According to the Application Developer's Guide (section 4.7), you need to specify the full path, i.e.

DB_INSTALLS += $(TOP)/xxxApp/Db/TDS.proto

Did you try that?
