RE: EPICS on windows

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

s7nodave.dll is built as part of your EPICS build, right?

 

If so, then you should just need to set your PATH to include the directory where s2nodave.dll is located.

 

In your iocBoot/iocxxx/Makefile if you add this line then EPICS will build a command file to set your PATH.

 

TARGETS += dllPath.bat

Hi Mark,
   Thanks.
I am using cygwin because i would like to test s7nodave on windows for Siemens S7 communication.
s7nodave using nodave library, which is coded for linux, I am not able to compile on Windows native compiler. 

I succeed to compile base3.14.12.7 with asyn3.24 in cygwin .
Thanks

Dear All

If any one using s7nodave on cygwin for siemens PLC please help me.
I could compile s7nodave on cygwin, 
With application for PLC it get compile without any error.  But while running application getting dll error,

$ ../../bin/cygwin-x86/firsPLC.exe  st.cmd
C:/cygwin/epics/Devlop/firstPLC/bin/cygwin-x86/firsPLC.exe: error while loading shared libraries: s7nodave.dll: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


Or someone have compiled s7nodave on native windows compiler>

Hi Vishnu,


How did you define EPICS_BASE in seq-2.2.5/configure/RELEASE?  It looks like you may have used a relative path, because your gcc command has this:

-I../../../../../base-3.16.1/include/compiler/gcc


You should use an absolute path to EPICS_BASE.


Note that not much testing is done on cygwin any more.  I would suggest that you consider using the Visual Studio Community Edition which is free, and which is well tested.


Mark
