Re: Sequencer problem :iocBuild: Aborting, bad database definition (DBD)! [Solved]

[Tasaddaq Khan <tasaddaq@gmail.com>]

Thanks Mark, solved with your suggestion.

I think I see your problem.  You named your SNL program test1.st.  You then have this line in your Makefile:

    test1_DBD += test1.dbd

So you have 2 dbd files with the same name, but different functions.  One should be your application dbd file, and the other the dbd file that just contains only the registrar definition for your SNL program.

I think you should rename your test1.st and test1.dbd to be test1SNL.st and test1SNL.dbd.  Alternatively you could rename your application to be test1App or something.

Hi Mark

My test1.dbd contains only following line

  registrar(test1Registrar)

Sorry, I did not scroll down far enough to see your Makefile.  I don't see an obvious problem with the Makefile.

You can do the following:

- Send the complete output when you do "make clean" and then "make"
- Send the output of

grep calc dbd/test1.dbd
