Hi Evan,

I’m not an MSYS user myself (I’m not keen on the way it uses its own /c/… paths) but there are other people here with more experience of using it who I hope will respond (I think they recommend MSYS2 now though, do you know the difference?). In the meantime some basic questions to provide us with a bit more information:

What version of Base did you install?

Can you try running these commands in your test2 directory and post the results please:

make —version
perl -v
make show-makefiles
make PRINT.MAKE
make PRINT.CONVERTRELEASE
make PRINT.RELEASE_TOPS

- Andrew

Good Afternoon,
 
I am attempting to get the EPICS build system working on win32-x86 architecture. I have successfully built base, but I get some strange behavior after trying to build an IOC created via makeBaseApp.pl. Here is what I run:
 
mkdir test2
cd test2
makeBaseApp.pl –t ioc test
makeBaseApp.pl –i –t ioc test
 
directory structure is now:
-configure
-iocBoot
-testApp
Makefile
 
configure/RELEASE points at the correct EPICS_BASE
 
Now, when I try running make, the following output results:
 
PS C:\Users\daykin\scratch\test2> make
Can't open perl script ".": Permission denied
/c/Users/daykin/scratch/test2/"C:/MinGW/msys/1.0/bin/make.exe" -C ./configure install
/bin/sh: /c/Users/daykin/scratch/test2/C:/MinGW/msys/1.0/bin/make.exe: No such file or directory
make.exe": *** [configure.install] Error 127
 
See the third line: Somehow, my $(TOP) is prepended to the location of make. It should just be running “C:/MinGW/msys/1.0/bin/make.exe”. I’m not sure if this is also the cause of “Can’t open perl script ‘.’”, which also seems strange.
 
Is there something I’m missing here?
 
-Evan
