Re: Help creating motorR6-9 examples

Hi again. Yes, I have run make from the top, and after, tried running it again from the child directory.

Assunto: Re: Help creating motorR6-9 examples

If you did not run "make" from the top level "motorR6-9" directory, that could 
be why you are getting these errors. The EPICS motor module, like EPICS base and 
most other EPICS modules, assumes that "make" is run 1st from the top level 
directory. After running 'make' from the top level you can make custom changes 
and taylor the module to your specific needs, but you should run make from the 
top 1st.
