Automatic flat db generation

[Luca Cavalli <LCavalli@cgspace.it>]

Hi all,

some times ago I proposed a patch to VisualDCT maintainers to rework a little
bit the scripts delivered with the tool.
The open issue on github is: https://github.com/epics-extensions/VisualDCT/issue
s/16

As suggested in EPICS training (Creating IOC Databases by Andrew Johnson) I use
.vdb as file extensionand and manually flat the db before IOC compilation.
.vdb and .db files are in the same *App/Db folder and the operation is very
error prone, since clicking on .vdb instead of .db file is quite easy.

In case the VisualDCT patch will be accepted, it would be nice to have the
following rule defined into RULES.Db.

DBDLIST := $(foreach dbd_dir,$(DBD_SEARCH_DIRS),$(patsubst %,-d %,$(wildcard
$(dbd_dir)/*.dbd)))

$(COMMON_DIR)/%.db: %.vdb
        @echo "Generating flat database from $<"
        @$(RM) $@
        @$(FLATDB) $(DBDLIST) $< $@ > /dev/null

And the definition of FLATDB in CONFIG_BASE.

Cheers,

Luca
