My attempts at upgrading to a newer version of EPICS base and support modules have foundered. I downloaded and built base-3-15.7, synapps-6., and the latest StreamDevice. No (major) problems there. I had to comment out the Oriel motor support because there appears to be no OrielRegister.h but other than that everything built.
But when trying to build one of my support modules and test IOCs I get odd complaints about scalcout record support: . . . make[3]: Entering directory `/eda/epics/R3.15.7/modules/instrument/CaenFastPS/CaenFastPSapp/src/O.linux-x86_64' /usr/bin/g++ -D_GNU_SOURCE -D_DEFAULT_SOURCE -D_X86_64_ -DUNIX -Dlinux -O3 -Wall -mtune=generic -m64 -I. -I../O.Common -I. -I. -I.. -I../../../include/compiler/gcc -I../../../include/os/Linux -I../../../include -I/eda/epics/R3.15.7/modules/soft/StreamDevice/include -I/eda/epics/R3.15.7/modules/soft/synapps/synApps_6_1/support/asyn-R4-36/include -I/eda/epics/R3.15.7/base/include/compiler/gcc -I/eda/epics/R3.15.7/base/include/os/Linux -I/eda/epics/R3.15.7/base/include -MM -MF CaenFastPSMain.d ../CaenFastPSMain.cpp Creating dbd file CaenFastPS.dbd perl -CSD /eda/epics/R3.15.7/base/bin/linux-x86_64/dbdExpand.pl -I. -I.. -I../O.Common -I../../../dbd -I/eda/epics/R3.15.7/modules/soft/StreamDevice/dbd -I/eda/epics/R3.15.7/modules/soft/synapps/synApps_6_1/support/asyn-R4-36/dbd -I/eda/epics/R3.15.7/base/dbd -o CaenFastPS.dbd base.dbd stream.dbd asynRecord.dbd drvAsynIPPort.dbd Device using unknown record type 'scalcout', declaration created

The empty scalcout record declaration breaks things when the test IOC starts up: . . . cd "/eda/epics/R3.15.7/modules/instrument/CaenFastPS" ############################################################################### # Register all support components dbLoadDatabase "dbd/CaenFastPS.dbd" Declaration of recordtype(scalcout) preceeded full definition.

Suggestions?
