RE: How to start EPICS IOC via LabVIEW on cRIO

["Baily, Scott A" <sbaily@lanl.gov>]

lvPortDriver.dbd should be located in lvPortDriverApp/src,

and when that directory builds, it should be installed into the dbd folder

for your system that would be: /usr/local/EPICS/synapp/support/lvPortDriver-master/dbd/

perhaps somethings going wrong the build or install from lvPortDriverApp/src  (like no permission to create the directory, or a case mismatch in the filename)

Dear Dr. Baily,

 

Thank you very much for giving me these instructions about "lvPortDriver"! But I'm still unable to build it successfully. 

 

I built the EPICS base 3.14.12.7, asyn4-30, and put the LabVIEW header(my version is LabVIEW-2015 32-bit for windows) 

and the newer released version of lvPortDriver to my cRIO-9030.

Then I set the ./configure/RELEASE file like (annotations in the file are omitted ):

 

EPICS_RELEASE = R3.14.12.7

SUPPORT=/usr/local/EPICS/synapp/support

ASYN=/usr/local/EPICS/synapp/support/asyn4-30

LINUX_GPIB=NO

LABVIEW=/usr/local/EPICS/synapp/support/labview

EPICS_BASE= /usr/local/EPICS/base-3.14.12.7

 

Next I typed "make" in this configure directory, "cd ../",and "make" in the lvPortDriver directory.

But errors occur:

 

make[3]: Entering directory '/usr/local/EPICS/synapp/support/lvPortDriver-master/lvtestApp/src/O.linux-x86_64'

make[2]: *** [install.linux-x86_64] Error 2

 

I tried to uninstall and rebuild it several times, but the result didn't changed.

What should I do to correct the error? Look forward to your guidance.
