I believe Community Edition 2019 works fine, though I have only tested up to 2017.  And Strawberry Perl will give you perl and gnumake.

Mark,

 

"I think most Windows users are using Visual Studio and not mingw."

 

Good to know.  Looking at various pages it wasn't clear what practice is common these days.

 

Is Community Edition 2019 known to work? This plus Strawberry PERL?

 

John

Hi John,

 

I think most Windows users are using Visual Studio and not mingw.  I have not tested to see how well mingw works with vendor libraries that are compiled with Visual Studio.  I know for sure that Cygwin stopped working with vendor libraries that were compiled with Visual Studio quite a few years ago.

Subject: EPICS How-To , Installation on Windows

 

All,

 

I am attempting to install EPICS on Windows 10 per the EPICS "How-To"

 

 

I encounter the errors shown below. 

 

Note that I am not wedded to this method of installation. (I have installed on Windows before but so infrequently that each time is a new adventure.)

 

Any advice appreciated.

 

Thanks,

 

John Dobbins
