Hi Gary,

 

Which version of make are you using? I think when I’ve seen this before it was caused by make version 3.8, epics needs make 4.x

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.
