RE: dxp-3-2 in windows7-x64

Hi Liu Ping,

 

The problem is that you are building for the windows-x64 architecture.  That is not supported, the XIA drivers and Handel library currently only support 32-bit architectures on both Windows and Linux.  You should build for the win32-x86 architecture instead.  The documentation (http://cars9.uchicago.edu/software/epics/dxpDoc.html) states that the only supported architectures are win32-x86 and cygwin-x86.

Subject: dxp-3-2 in windows7-x64

 

Hello, everyone

Hi, Mr. Mark Rivers

 

Everything  is ok excepting dxp-3-2 when I built the base-3.14.12.4 and synApps-5-7 in windows7 pro (64Bit) with Visual Studio 2008 64bit compiler. The error messages of “make” command has been attached in this email.

I have set:

         CROSS_COMPILER_HOST_ARCHS=windows-x64

         CROSS_COMPILER_TARGET_ARCHS=windows-x64

 

Also set:

   Call “C:\Program Files\VS9.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat” x86_amd64

 

First, use the default Makefile in the dxp-3-2\dxpApp\src\. There are no errors, but no dxpApp.exe in the dxp-3-2\bin\windows-x64\.

 

Then, I delete these lines (below) in Makefile, and change to “PROD_IOC += dxpApp” or “PROD_IOC_WIN32 += dxpApp”.

 

#=============================

# build an ioc application

 

# tmm: for support only (no example), disable the App

PROD_IOC_vxWorks += dxpApp

ifeq ($(LINUX_USB_INSTALLED), YES)

PROD_IOC_Linux += dxpApp

endif

PROD_IOC_cygwin32 += dxpApp

ifeq (win32-x86, $(findstring win32-x86, $(T_A)))

PROD_IOC_WIN32 += dxpApp

Endif

#=============================

 

Now, Open “Visual Studio 2008 x64 Cross Tools Command Prompt” and run the win32.bat in this DOS window.

Finaly, rebuild dxp-3-2 but failed due to the errors in the attached file. It seems something wrong in xia_epp.c and xia_plx.c. Please help!

 

By the way, I have successfully installed and applied the dxp-3-2 in windows7 x86-32 on Vortex hardware last year.
