Hi, I tried to install an old version EPICS base 3.12.14.3 on CentOS and downloaded the source file from the ANL site: https://epics.anl.gov/download/base/index.php and found an error (an extra '$' character) in the "configure/os/CONFIG_SITE.linux-x86_64.UnixCommon" file. I searched on the tech talk and checked the git history and as Andrew Johnson said in this thread: https://epics.anl.gov/tech-talk/2016/msg02163.php This error happened since 2005 and affected many old versions. Finally it was removed by Andrew Johnson at 2016 after base 3.14.12.6. So I am wondering if anyone intended to fix this error in these old versions, or if not, maybe add some "README.FIRST" on the download website? Regards, Di WANG (Linac, KEK) |
