Hello everyone,
I am building an IOC application named ‘test6’ based on the classical command ‘makeBaseApp -t …’. When I put the following line in ‘test6/configure/RELEASE’ to include an external support module, surprisingly the build failed. Pay attention to the name ‘MODULE1’
which contains a digit.
MODULE1 = /nsls2/users/yhu/modules/elauncherSupport
Here is the error message:

If I change ‘MODULE1’ to ‘MODULE’, then it worked as expected. And I see the path ‘-I/nsls2/users/yhu/modules/elauncherSupport/dbd’ is included in ‘perl -CSD /usr/lib/epics/bin/linux-x86_64/dbdExpand.pl’.

So it seems there is a naming restriction in configure/RELEASE. Is this a bug or a feature? I am using Base-R7.0.5 if the version matters.
Cheers,
