Re: known problem with the reccaster on Windows?

Hi Heinz,

What happens if you build ADLightField without reccaster?

Have you tried running the ADSimDetector, also built with reccaster?

If you build with the windows-x64-debug architecture then you can debug with Visual Studio and perhaps get more information on what it happening in doCasterTCPPhase.

Hi,
I'm trying to get the autosave working on an IOC running on Windows.
Unfortunately the IOC hangs at iocInit(?) and I can't debug any further.

Unfortunately, I can't figure it out on Windows (I simply have zero experience with it) and maybe I'm just being stupid.

There is an IOC in the areadetector for the Lightfield application. When starting the IOC we get the following error message:

restore: Can t open save file. locRun: All initialization complete
epicsSocketDestroy: failed to close a socket because "An operation was attempted on someth ing that is not a socket. "
epicsSocketDestroy: failed to close a socket because "An operation was attempted on someth ing that is not a socket. "

We are running reccaster …
Is this a known problem with the reccaster on Windows?
