Hello, May I ask what kind of Linux that has support for VME devLib? Can I install some software to make a normal Linux support VME devLib?
Unfortunately, I am not aware of anything I would describe as "normal" about VME support in Linux. You may have a lot more work than you expect here. :( To start with, can you describe your hardware? What sort of VME cards are present in your crate(s) ?
I would like to build mca/lib/liunx-x86_64/libSIS38XX.a. According to the notes in mca/mcaApp/SISSrc/Makefile: # If your version of Linux has support for VME devLib uncomment following line #LIBRARY_IOC_Linux += SIS38XX In my $EPICS_BASE/include directory, and I find files of: devLib.h devLibVME.h devLibVMEImpl.h But that seems not enough, and the make of mca with option of "LIBRARY_IOC_Linux += SIS38XX" has errors of: ../drvSIS3820.h:208:3: error: ‘DMA_ID’ does not name a type My system: EPICS_base-7.0.7 mca-R7-9 linux_x86_64: Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS devLib2-2.12 Also tried: EPICS_base_3.14.12.8 mca-7-8 linux-arm; RHEL (no devLib2) Thanks a lot, Rong
