RE: problem with pointGreyApp.exe using AD 2-1

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

Hi Alireza,

 

The problem is that you have built pointgrayApp as a dynamic executable, so it requires being able to find not only pointGrey.dll, but also all of the other DLLs in EPICS base and synApps.

 

If you defined ARCH=windows-x64 in ADPointGrey/iocs/iocPointGrey/iocBoot/iocPointGrey/Makefile, then that directory should contain a file called dllPath.bat.  If not, edit the Makefile to set ARCH=windows-x64 and run “make clean”, “make”, which will create dllPath.bat.  You need to execute that batch file once per Windows session before executing the pointGreyApp application.  That batch file will define your PATH so it will find all of the required DLLs.  From the iocPointGrey directory:

 

.\dllPath.bat

..\..\bin\windows-x64\pointGreyApp st.cmd

 

Let me know if you have problems or questions.

 

Mark

Subject: problem with pointGreyApp.exe using AD 2-1

 

Hello tech-talkers,

 

I am having trouble running the pointGreyApp executable ( I did not get errors during compile time of ADPointGrey). The error says that pointGrey.dll is missing, however, I see that it is present in C:\Epics\support\areaDetector-2-1\ADPointGrey\bin\windows-x64

Maybe I missed some path definition but I can't figure it out. Below is my  envPath:

 

epicsEnvSet("ARCH","windows-x64")

epicsEnvSet("IOC","iocPointGrey")

epicsEnvSet("TOP","C:/Epics/support/areaDetector-2-1/ADPointGrey/iocs/pointGreyIOC")

epicsEnvSet("ADPOINTGREY","C:/Epics/support/areaDetector-2-1/ADPointGrey")

epicsEnvSet("SUPPORT","C:/Epics/support")

epicsEnvSet("AREA_DETECTOR","C:/Epics/support/areaDetector-2-1")

epicsEnvSet("EPICS_BASE","C:/Epics/base-3.14.12.4")

epicsEnvSet("ASYN","C:/Epics/support/asyn-4-26")

epicsEnvSet("ADCORE","C:/Epics/support/areaDetector-2-1/ADCore")

epicsEnvSet("CALC","C:/Epics/support/calc-3-4-2")

#epicsEnvSet("BUSY","C:/Epics/support/busy-1-6")

epicsEnvSet("SSCAN","C:/Epics/support/sscan-2-10")

epicsEnvSet("AUTOSAVE","C:/Epics/support/autosave-5-5")

 

I have the flycapture viewer installed along with their sdk as well. Epics base and Area detector are compiled dynamically (using MS Visual Studio 12). 

Any help will be appreciated.
