Subject:	EPICS Installation Woes

Hi,

I’m a complete newbie to EPICS, and I’m running into some difficulty during installation. I’m running Windows 10 64bit, and I get this error when trying to compile EPICS after installation. I’ve tried reinstalling MSYS2 and MinGW64, updating all my packages, and setting the right environment variables. I’ve also tried a workaround of “export EPICS_HOST_ARCH=linux-x86_64”, and explicitly stated which GCC compiler to use. Nothing has worked so far. Any help would be appreciated.

gigam@JHAI1805 MINGW64 ~/epics/epics-base

# make

./src/tools/EpicsHostArch.pl: Architecture 'x86_64-msys-thread-multi' not recognized

configure/CONFIG:67: configure/os/CONFIG..Common: No such file or directory

make: *** No rule to make target 'configure/os/CONFIG..Common'. Stop.
