Experimental Physics and
Industrial Control System

Hi

 

I am trying to compile an ADPcoWin IOC on a Windows 10 host (EPICS Base 3.15.6 and master branches for all modules), basically the compilation for all modules is straightforward, but when compiling the IOC, I got the following error:

 

LNK1181: cannot open input file 'xml2.lib'

 

Linux systems I get the similar linker error (Cannot find –lxml2) whenever which is resolved by adding the ADSupport/lib/linux-x86_64 to LD_LIBRARY_PATH but on Windows 10 it is a different story. In my configure/CONFIG_STE I have XML2_EXTERNAL=NO, In my iocApp/src/Makefile, I included the ADCore/ADApp/commonDriverMakefile to properly link with all components of AD, the “link” command even points to ADSupport/lib/linux-x86_64, and the windows PATH variable points to the same location but still I get the same LNK1181 issue. As a workaround, I had to remove the XML2 check from the commonDriverMakefile and the IOC compiled successfully. What would be the issue with the XML2 library?

 

Best Regards,

Abdalla.
