Hello,

    I am new to working with EPICS and I don't know if this is the right way to share a bug I am having when compiling the ASYN module, version R4-42 on centos8. If not, I would be grateful if you could tell me how to do the process correctly.

     I got an error when compiling the testGpibApp. The error obtained is when trying to compile for RTEMS and I get that it does not find the -ltirpc. While for linux x86 it compiles everything correctly and finishes the compilation of both the library and the tests.

      Also, I have uncommented TIRPC=YES because in centos 8 they moved RPC to libtirpc, as is described in the CONFIG_SITE file. Trying to understand why the library is compiled without problems, I have seen that in the ./asyn/Makefile the library is included in the USR_INCLUDES_Linux += -I/usr/include/tirpc while in the ./testGpibApp/src/Makefile it is USR_INCLUDES += -I/usr/include/tirpc. I changed the ./testGpibApp/src/Makefile following the same philosophy as in the ./asyn/Makefile and everything compiled perfectly. I'm still wondering if this is correct and I would like to know your point of view. At the end of the post, there is a table describing the change.

     Thank you very much in advance for your attention to this query. I look forward to hearing from you.
