MEDM compilation on Ubuntu 16.04

[Alper Kinaci <akinaci@northwestern.edu>]

Dear Developers,

I am trying to build MEDM on our Epics (base-3.15.5) and areaDetector (specifically ADEiger) installations on an Ubuntu 16.04 machine. I followed the instructions on "https://epics.anl.gov/extensions/medm/" webpage however one of the packages needed for MEDM, i.e. libxp-dev (and also libxp), is not available for this version of Ubuntu. 

I can find the library deb file (libxp-dev_1.0.2-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb) for Ubuntu 14.04 however I am not sure if this package will work with our operating system.

If I comment out the line "USR_LIBS_Linux = Xm Xt Xp Xmu X11 Xext" and uncomment "USR_LIBS_Linux = Xm Xt Xmu X11 Xext" to remove libXp linkage in medm Makefile, the compilation still fails due to some undefined references to functions. That reminds me the errors I receive when some header files are missing. I included the error lines in my compilation at the end. 

I will appreciate any guidance or hint on this issue. Thank you for your consideration.

Best regards,

Alper
