Hi Freddie,

I just have a test as your suggestion: remove the HOST_OPT and rebuild stream. It works now! Many thanks. 

The newest version 2.8.14 also have HOST_OPT, the master branch have removed it.

About MinGW, I have installed only Strawberry Perl 5.30, GNU make 4.2.1 and MSVC 2017/2019. I have tried either gmake.exe from Strawberry or make.exe from GNU make to build base. I'm not sure how they get mixed.

PS: I'm a little confused with the PATH setting in RELEASE file on windows. It should use slash or back slash in the path like ASYN=D:\epics\asyn4-38,, or both are ok?

Regards,

Xuan

Hi,

 

stream device uses getenv() to read  STREAM_PROTOCOL_PATH and environment variables can be stored in CRTL specific lists, so I originally thought there were different C runtime libraries getting mixed in. The link I posted about removing HOST_OPT was to avoid debug and release Microsoft libraries getting mixed. However Mark’s comment about MinGW is interesting – do you have MinGW installed? If the visual studio compile has accidentally  picked up some mingw includes, or mingw and visual studio built files have got combined, that could likely result in the environment variable lists not matching up (and probably other problems too)

 

Regards,

 

Freddie

I just tested with base 7.0.4, stream 2.8.14, Visual Studio 2017, Windows 10. 

 

It works OK, I do not get the error about STREAM_PROTOCOL_PATH being undefined. 

 

I don’t actually have the device connected, so Stream is reporting timeouts.

 

Here is the output when I start the IOC.

It is clearly finding and using STREAM_PROTOCOL_PATH because it is finding the protocol file, which is located in J:/epics/devel/CARS/db, not the current directory.

 

I cannot explain why you are getting the error that STREAM_PROTOCOL_PATH is undefined.  Please try the following command at the iocsh prompt.

 

epicsEnvShow "STREAM_PROTOCOL_PATH"

 

This is what I see:

 

epics> epicsEnvShow "STREAM_PROTOCOL_PATH"

STREAM_PROTOCOL_PATH=J:/epics/devel/ip-2-20-1/db:J:/epics/devel/CARS/db

 

You do get a build error when EPICS_HOST_ARCH=windows-x64-mingw.  That is probably because the version of inttypes.h that it is finding does not define SCNx8, but I am not sure.

There is something wrong with what I said in my previous email. It's ture that steam 2.8.13 can be built successfully with Visual Studio 2017 and Visual Studio 2019. However, it will be aborted when the application start(when execute iocInit actually), but it can be run correctly with Stream 2.7.14. You can check the info in attachment.

I also try to compile stream with 3.14.12.8:

MSVC:2017 community

EPICS_HOST_ARCH=windows-x64

Stream 2.8.13 can be built, but the application can't be run properly. The result is the same as Stream2.8.13.PNG

*************************************************************************************************

EPICS_HOST_ARCH=windows-x64-mingw

Stream 2.8.13 build failed. The error info is :../ChecksumConverter.cc:777:51: error: expected ')' before 'SCNx8' Regards,
Xuan

Hi,

 

I wasn’t able to check your exact combination, but I ran a few visual studio combinations from 2013 to 2019 through Appveyor and they all seemed OK

https://ci.appveyor.com/project/FreddieAkeroyd/streamdevice/builds/34184691

 

Maybe it is picking up an incorrect include or definition from somewhere - if you check the C pre-processor output for the file compilation that will show what headers are being loaded from where and might help locate the issue

 

Regards,

 

Freddie

I just built stream 2.8.14 successfully with both Visual Studio 2015 and Visual Studio 2017.  I don’t have 2019 installed so I could not test that, but I would be surprised if it failed.

base：7.0.4

asyn：4-40

MSVC：2015, 2017 Community

GNU make:4.2.1

Perl64:5.24.3

 

SCNx8 is defined in inttypes.h for Visual Studio.  This is where it is found in all of the inttypes.h files in C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits.

I also found that git needed to be installed on Windows to build 2.8.14.  For other modules with base 7.0.4 it was sufficient to make “fake” git.bat that just contained:

@echo GSECARS-Build

 

However, stream actually checks the syntax of the returned string, and that trick fails.

Hi all,

  I find that the SteamDevice(from 2.8 to 2.8.14) can not be built on Win7 x64. The error info is :../ChecksumConverter.cc:777:51: error: expected ')' before 'SCNx8'. However the version of 2.7.14 can be built successfully. I've checked the file ChecksumConverter.cc, there is some difference between them like following:

2.8.x:   if (sscanf(input(cursor+2*i), "%2" SCNx8, &inchar) != 1)

2.7.14:  if (sscanf(input(cursor+2*i), "%2X", &inchar) != 1)

 

The software environment I'm using:

OS:Win7 x64

base：3.15.8

asyn：4-38

MSVC：2019 community

GNU make:4.2.1

Strawberry:5.30.1

 

PS：SteamDevice 2.8.14 is dependency with git, the other versions are not

Cheers,

Xuan
