Hi Carl,

I have built base 7.0.2 on Windows 10 with Community Edition 2017. I use the version of gnumake 4.2.1 from the link on this page:

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

I suggest you try that version of make.

When attempting to build Epics Base v7.0.2 on Windows 10 using make from msys2 (or other sources) and Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition, this type of error keeps appearing:

c1xx: fatal error C1083: Cannot open source file: '../../src/osi/os/WIN32/epicsTempFile.cpp': No such file or directory

Following the error, I identify the compiler as follows:

C:\epics\base-7.0.2>cl
Microsoft (R) C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 19.16.27027.1 for x64
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.

My startup script has the following:
rem Set the environment for Microsoft Visual Studio
call "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvarsall.bat" x64

In other words, the startup script correctly identifies the compiler, but a needed file appears to be missing (??)

Can anyone identify my error or issue?

Thanks
