Hi Dirk,

I think that is your problem.  cygwin make is not supported for building with Visual Studio.  See this page:

https://epics.anl.gov/base/win32.php

which says:

"We no longer support using the Cygwin tools for Microsoft API builds, use versions of Perl and GNUmake that directly support the Microsoft API instead. See below for Cygwin builds."

That page has a link to version of GNUMake 4.2.1 which I have been using with no problems.

Mark

Hello Kaz,

I had put some effort into making StreamDevice 2.8 compatible with
Windows dynamic linking, which was a pain in the ass. I had tested
everything with 3.16.1 and got no errors, only some strange warnings.

I have now again tested StreamDevice 2.8.8 with several versions of
EPICS base. Here are my results:
R3.14.12.7: Success
R3.15.5: Success
R3.15.6: Success
R3.16.1: Success
R3.16.2: Success
R7.0.1.1: cannot build base
R7.0.2: cannot build base

Trying to build EPICS 7 in windows-x64 fails with:

The same with 7.0.1.1. No idea what's wrong now. Building EPICS 3.16 was
no problem at all.

I am using Windows 10 cmd.exe, Visual Studio 2017 cl, cygwin make and
cygwin perl.
