Re: synApps_5_7 build error on Windows 8.1 x64

Hello Mark,

I am using base 3.14.12.4. Do you mean debugging snl.c in vs debugger?

Regards,

What version of EPICS base are you using?  I am using 3.14.12.4.  Note that prior to version 3.14.12.3 the stack size on Windows was very small and that could be the problem.

 

When you get the popup dialog about lemon.exe can you then debug it in the Visual Studio debugger?  That may tell you if the problem is an access violation, missing DLL, stack overflow, etc.

Hello Benjamin and Mark,

 

I tried doing make clean in C:\Epics\support\seq-2-1-13\src\snc\O.windows-x64 and then ..\\..\\..\\bin\\windows-x64\\lemon.exe o=. ../snl.lem, However I get the same error with the pop-up saying lemon.exe has stopped working.

Even doing make clean in the windows-x64 dir gives me the same pop-up. 

 

I have previously compiled seq on Windows 7 x64 and I know that seq 2-1.13 gives an error in UserfuncEf..c and I think I had to use seq-2.1.16 which worked well.

 

Also I am using MS Visual Studio Express 2013 when I set the environment I call "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\bin\x86_amd64\vcvarsx86_amd64.bat". May be i try and switch to 2010 and see if it works

 

Thank you 

 

Regards,

Alireza Panna

I just tried building the following versions of the sequencer on windows-x64 (Windows 7, Visual Studio 2010, GNUWin32 make).

seq-2.1.10
seq-2.1.13
seq-2.2.0.1


2.1.10 built with no errors.


2.1.13 did not have the error with lemon.exe that was the subject of this thread.  Here is the output when lemon.exe is being used:

make -C O.windows-x64 -f ../Makefile TOP=../../.. T_A=windows-x64 install

make[3]: Entering directory `J:/epics/devel/seq-2-1-13/src/snc/O.windows-x64'

3 parsing conflicts.

However, 2.1.13 did fail much later in the build with the following error:

Hm, that sounds like the bundled version of lemon crashes (or otherwise
misbehaves) when compiled as a win64 executable. In this case it would
not generate snl.h which is what the error message says.

To clarify this, please

> cd C:/Epics/support/seq-2-1-13/src/snc/O.windows-x64
> make clean

and then

> ..\\..\\..\\bin\\windows-x64\\lemon.exe o=. ../snl.lem

It should say "3 parsing conflicts." and there should now exist files
named snl.c, snl.h, and snl.out in this directory. If not (or if one of
these files is empty), then lemon is broken on win64 and I will see
whether the upstream version has a fix for the problem.

Cheers
Ben
