Hi Richard,

 If $(TOP) is not equal to $(INSTALL_LOCATION), you cannot see startup

directory in 3.15.5 and 7.0.1.1. From our environment, we create that

directory, and copy EpicsHostArch.pl file into it.

 From 3.15.6-rc1, EpicsHostArch will be in startup directory if $(TOP)

is equal to $(INSTALL_LOCATION). However, if $(TOP) is not equal to

$(INSTALL_LOCATION), we cannot see "startup" path in

$(INSTALL_LOCATION). However, EpicsHostArch.pl file will be copied into

$(EPICS_BASE)/lib/perl path.

  HTH,
  Han

Hi,

I have just built base-3.15.5, with INSTALL_LOCATION in
config/CONFIG_SITE set to a different directory than my source
directory (call it /path/base). That is the only change that I made to
the epics files before running make.

I then tried to build a test application (that is known to work),
having set EPICS_BASE in configure/RELEASE to /path/base. The build
failed, because it couldn't find the startup directory. There is a
startup directory in source directory, but nothing got created in my
install location.  Copying the startup directory from source to
install by hand fixed the problem, and the test app ran.

I am unsure what I might have done wrong when building the epics
installation. Any suggestions ? (I am working on a linux platform).

Thanks,
     Richard
