Hi Pete,

 

My apologies, in fact you are correct.  Even with the fix_areaDetector branch the support/Makefile does not correctly handle the dependencies of areaDetector.

 

It was working for me because I used “make –j”.  The timing of that worked out so that all of the areaDetector dependencies were in fact built before areaDetector needed them.  However, that was just “luck”, and when I test without –j I see the error you describe.

 

It does not build the modules in alphabetical order, it builds them in the following order:

 

allenBradley-2-3

alive-R1-1-1

ipac-2-15

seq-2-2-6

asyn-R4-36

areaDetector-R3-7

areaDetector-R3-7/ADSupport

areaDetector-R3-7/ADCore

areaDetector-R3-7/ADSimDetector

 

ADSimDetector requires lots of other modules to be built first and that is not happening in a build without –j.  I see the following error:

 

make[7]: *** No rule to make target `../../../lib/linux-x86_64/libautosave.a', needed by `simDetectorNoIOCApp'.  Stop.

make[7]: Leaving directory `/home/epics/scratch/support/synApps/support/areaDetector-R3-7/ADSimDetector/iocs/simDetectorNoIOC/simDetectorNoIOCApp/src/O.linux-x86_64'

Hi Pete,

 

The assemble_synApps.sh script in the fix_areaDetector branch of epics-synApps/support definitely works OK, I just tested it:

 

I just executed the following commands (recalled from “history”, removing commands that were not needed).

 

  1240  14:12   git clone https://github.com/epics-synApps/support

  1242  14:12   cd support/

  1244  14:12   git checkout fix_areaDetector

  1247  14:14   ./assemble_synApps.sh

  1248  14:15   cd synApps/support/

  1249  14:15   vi configure/RELEASE             (I edited configure/RELEASE to set EPICS_BASE correctly)

  1250  14:16   make release

  1251  14:16   make -sj

  1252  14:19   ls -l areaDetector-R3-7/ADSimDetector/iocs/simDetectorIOC/bin/linux-x86/

 

The build took under 3 minutes.

 

The last command shows that ADSimDetector was built correctly.

corvette:support/synApps/support>ls -l areaDetector-R3-7/ADSimDetector/iocs/simDetectorIOC/bin/linux-x86/

total 76

The xxx module was also built correctly:

corvette:support/synApps/support>ls -l xxx-R6-1/bin/linux-x86/

total 136

-r-xr-xr-x 1 epics domain users 137556 Oct 27 14:19 xxx
