RE: EPICS 7.0.8 and 7.0.7 Windows build failure

[Revell Gary via Tech-talk <tech-talk at aps.anl.gov>]

Hi everyone,

 

I’m trying to evaluate the use of EPICS and so wanted to install it on my Windows 10 VM (8GB RAM).

 

When building V7.0.8 on a Windows 10 VM and V7.0.7 (build shown below) I keep getting the same error, see below:

The problem arises during the execution of the makeMakefile.pl script, and the pathname has two directories in it for some reason (C:/Dev/EPICS/base-7.0.7/…… ) is appearing twice and therefor and invalid pathname. I believe I’ve followed the installation instructions OK.

 

Any help/advice is gratefully appreciated.
