I now realize that DLS repository is not the same as the one you are using.  However, this one does seem to be the same:

https://github.com/jwlodek/eurotherm2k

Jakub, is this repository a fork of a master somewhere else, or is this now the primary repository?

Hi William,

It appears that the eurothemModbus source code is on Github here:

https://github.com/dls-controls/eurothermModbus

Does your gitlab dump differ from that?

Mark

Hi Mark,

unfortunately, it doesnt work, various casts fail.

I've saved a dump here: https://gitlab.fhi.mpg.de/kw/eurotherm2k

(should be externally accessible)

Hi William,

 

You can probably just rename eurothermModbus.c to eurothermModbus.cpp.  See if that works.

 

How does eurothermModbus use drvModbusAsyn?

Hi,

unfortunately the DLS site for the eurotherm support module is not available anymore...
(http://controls.diamond.ac.uk/downloads/support/eurotherm2k/)

does anybody still maintain eurotherms?

I kinda converted the 1-22 release to work with my environment and am now running into a C / C++ error...
newer asyn versions reference vector.h which is C++ while my eurotherm support file is C, which is bad because the C compiler doesnt know about the C++ vector.h ...

In file included from /home/epics/EPICS/epics-support/modbus/include/drvModbusAsyn.h:15,
                 from ../eurothermModbus.c:25:
/home/epics/EPICS/epics-support/asyn/include/asynPortDriver.h:4:10: fatal error: vector: No such file or directory
 #include <vector>
          ^~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.

Im not sure how to get around this....

maybe someone with more experience in the EPICS build system can help me out.

thanks,

William
