Subject:	synApps 6.1 conflicts with EPICS Base 7.0.6

Dear EPICS Community,

Do you still use synApps 6.1 with the EPICS Base 7.0.6?

I used to use synApps 6.1 with EPICS Base 7.0.4., which worked well for our purposes. But now, with Base 7.0.6 installed, I have some issues building synApps.

For example, I must include sharelib.h in various files (namely, synApps_6_1/support/motorApp/MotorSrc/motordrvCom.h and synApps_6_1/support/sscanApp/src/saveData_writeXDR.c), remove include statements from synApps_6_1/support/caputRecorder-R1-7-2/caputRecorderApp/src/subMLIS.c, and so on. Currently, I am facing the following synApps build-error:

C:\development\scada\synApps_6_1\support\StreamDevice-2-8-9\src\devStream.h(80): error C2054: After "epicsShareExtern" a "(" must follow

Do you have similar problems, when using Windows 10 and the Visual Studio Compiler toolchain? Do you recommend to use synApps 6.1 with Base 7.0.6 in general? Is there a newer version of synApps that better fits together with Base 7.0.6?

Thank you very much and kind regards

Markus
