Thanks Freddie,

 

Yes, your solution does the trick. It should probably be added to the future release.

 

Thanks,

Paul

Hi,

 

I wonder if the definition of TCP_NODELAY has moved location in gcc 9.0.*  - if you add:

 

    #include <netinet/tcp.h>

 

To the file does that help? If so, then    modules/libcom/src/osi/os/cygwin32/osdSock.h    is probably a better place for it to be more permanently added.  

 

Regards,

 

Freddie

Subject: EPICS Base Compilation Failed Under Cygwin gcc 9+

 

Hi,

 

The EPICS Base is broken for Cygwin under gcc 9.0.* The error message seems pointing to “TCP_NODELAY” not declared. I tried for several Base 3.15.*, 3.14.*, and 7.*, and all got the same error messages (see below). If using gcc 7.4.*, all versions can compile without any issue.  Does anybody experience the same issue?
