Re: Motor module compile (dbdExpand.pl:can't find file asSupport.dbd)

[Kevin Peterson via Tech-talk <tech-talk at aps.anl.gov>]

asSupport.dbd comes from the autosave module.  This example IOC needs 
autosave to be defined:
/usr/local/epics/main/modules/synApps/support/motor-R7-2-1/modules/motor_old/iocs/motorIOC

I'm not familiar with the motor_old submodule, but if it is anything 
like other driver modules, then defining the AUTOSAVE variable in 
motor's RELEASE file and rebuilding should solve the problem:
/usr/local/epics/main/modules/synApps/support/motor-R7-2-1/configure/RELEASE
