Re: Building epics base for a different location

[Jeong Han Lee <citadel.lee@gmail.com>]

Hi Richard,

  There are two variable you can use.

  $(TOP) : where the epics base source code is
  $(INSTALL_LOCATION) : where the epics "compiled" binary files and 
other files are.
  If there is no INSTALL_LOCATION, TOP is the same as INSTALL_LOCATION.

  Please check configure/CONFIG and CONFIG_SITE files as well.

  However, the above approach doesn't fulfill what you ask.  In order 
to achieve your approach, you may try the following procedure:
  In $(TOP) (location A)

  1) make build
  2) make install
  3) add the location B in CONFIG_SITE

   echo "INSTALL_LOCATION=${LOCATION_A}" > configure/CONFIG_SITE.local

  4) make install

  HTH,
  Han
