On further thought I don't see how you can use mingw with the Xspress3.  The EPICS driver calls the vendor driver using a library, and does not communicate over sockets.  The EPICS driver thus needs to run on the same computer as the vendor library and hardware interfaces.  I believe the vendor only support 64-bit Linux.  So I don't think you can use mingw and Windows.

Hi Lynn,

The xspress3 module explictly restricts its builds to the linux-x86_64 architecture in these 2 lines in the Makefiles:

https://github.com/epics-modules/xspress3/blob/78f6f0545ed36cfa47aced18ef0c44a59d7052c3/xspress3App/src/Makefile#L11

https://github.com/epics-modules/xspress3/blob/78f6f0545ed36cfa47aced18ef0c44a59d7052c3/iocs/xspress3IOC/xspress3App/src/Makefile#L14

I am not sure if that restriction is necessary or not.  You try adding mingw to those Makefiles and see if it works.

Mark

Hi Mark and Ralph,

   Thank you for your answer. I choose an easy way, set WITH_GRAPHICSMAGICK=NO and work well.

Actually, I intend to use xspress3 module in mingw of windows.

And i did these thing and met some error again.

1) i installed xspress3 module well, but there isn't bin file( mingw-64, base7.0.7, asyn, areaDetector and others good).

I want to know. Could I do some setting, make the bin file of xspress3 came out directly after make command?

2) Since there isn't bin file, I try: [1] create an ioc using makeBaseApp.pl.  [2] add st.cmd of xspess.

But something wrong during [1].

I did these:

    (a) type: $(BASE)/bin/windows-x64-mingw/makeBaseApp.pl -t example example

    (b) type: $(BASE)/bin/windows-x64-mingw/makeBaseApp.pl -i -t example example

    (c) choose windos-x64-mingw,

   The following target architectures are available in base:
    windows-x64
    windows-x64-mingw

         P.S. There are two file in my &(BASE)/bin/.   "window-x64" and "windows-x64-mingw"

    (d) make, no error

    (e) start the ioc

$ ../../bin/windows-x64-mingw/example.exe st.cmd
#!../../bin/windows-x64-mingw/example
< envPaths
epicsEnvSet("IOC","iocexample")

Base 7.0.7 was right. These process should be good in linux. I don't know what is wrong with it.

So could someone do me a favor. I just want to use xspress in mingw.

Regards,

Lynn

Hi Lynn,

You probably don't really need GraphicsMagick.  I suggest you changed areaDetector/configure/CONFIG_SITE.local to set WITH_GRAPHICSMAGICK=NO.

See if you then get any other errors.

Subject: areaDetector error in mingw, windows

 

Hi,

    I want to use areaDetector, using Ming 64,Windows Home 64.

    base 7.0.7, asyn, areaDetector and other module are all new version from git.

    I am not quite sure about how to install it, using windows lib and software. But I know linux way, so i install it just like linux OS, except EPICS_HOST_ARCH or something.

   

I did these, before i make areaDetector :

1) base,asyn, busy and other module was installed well and prepare areaDetector( ADSupport, ADCore)  

2) cp and modify  release.local, release_libs.local,release_prods.local,config_site.local  

3) make and error came out( error message at bottom)

4) Then I tried CONFIG_SITE.local.linux-x86.win32-x86-mingw,CONFIG_SITE.local.linux-x86.win32-x86-mingw-static  and CONFIG_SITE.local.WIN32, all  failed.

5) I also try to configure areaDetector, using GraphicsMagick external, still in mingw environment.

configure && make :

libtool:   error: Could not determine host file name corresponding to

libtool:   error:   'Magick++/lib/.libs/' :

And I want to know:

Considering i did much work using linux way in mingw environment. 

1) how to fix the error below? 

2) if you have better way, please let me know it.  

 

Output of areaDetector make: (in Mingw 64)
