Hi,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.Thanks for that, at least I know I'm not doing something wrong.
I partially circumvented this by copying a lot of stuff from the source tree to the install tree. For as long as I have used EPICS we have always had separate source trees and install trees and I'm not willing to abandon that concept - we do that for the rest of our software as well. At some point in the extensions I got stuck - and then side-tracked into other stuff that also needed to be done. I hope to get back to that soon-ish (upgrading from 3.13.8) and I hope that there are others struggling with the same concept and maybe having come up with other solutions. I do not consider installing into the source tree a solution. Maren
