Now using the mingw make instead of the cygwin make, I have successfully

built EPICS base 7.0.2 and StreamDevice 2.2.8. No problem!

Kaz,

Have you upgraded from StreamDevice 2.7 to 2.8. If yes, are you sure you

have cleaned up properly before rebuilding? Make sure all old 2.7 *.dll,

*.h, *.dbd files are gone. 'make distclean' should do the job.

My linker line looks like this:

link -nologo -subsystem:windows -dll -debug -incremental:no -fixed:no

I have a warning about StreamDebugFile which I don't know how to fix.

But it works just fine.

Hi Dirk,

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

I have built base 7.0.2 with Visual Studio 2010, 2017, and 2017.

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

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.

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

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.
