We've put together a shell script (attached) that builds EPICS from scratch. It downloads,
untars, configures and builds the specified versions of BASE, ASYN, CALC, MOTOR,
SEQ, and STREAMDEVICE. I edited it a bit before posting, so hopefully I didn't mess it up.
It also includes a cross compile for the RaspberryPi, but does not set up the cross compiler.
We do that (manually) using crosstool-ng. It's easy to remove the cross compile stuff
from the script. I've run the script on Ubuntu 10.04 and 12.04.
It does need to be cleaned up a bit, e.g.,:
-Errors aren't handled all that gracefully.
-The cross compile for raspberrypi is only done on a linux-x86_64 host. If you are going to do a
cross compile, this should be done for a Common host.
-The cross compile should be done with static linking. (I thought that was in the script?
What happened to it??)
