Hi Hussein,
Unfortunately the EPICS build rules and our Makefiles don't work when the path to Base or other modules contain spaces, and it would be quite a lot of work to fix that (patches welcome if it's important to
you!). You can't just change a configuration setting to get around that.
Thank-you for posting the complete error messages. It looks like you have Base installed inside a MS Visual Studio BuildTools subdirectory. That is not a good location, I recommend that you build it somewhere
like C:\epics\base. In addition to Base you will be installing and building other support modules such as Asyn, so that layout lets you use
C:\epics\asyn for that, and so on.
Hope this helps,
- Andrew

Hello,
I am setting up EPICS Base on my Windows 10 machine, but I get a compile
error when I run the Makefile in the EPICS Base directory:
perl -CSD C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual
Studio/2022/BuildTools/epics-base/bin/windows-x64/makeMakefile.pl
O.windows-x64 ../../../..
Can't open perl script "C:/Program": No such file or directory
It seems that my compiler does not interpret the path to the Perl script
correctly, as it only captures the path up to the first space. As a
result, the Perl script cannot be found.
Can you tell me why this is happening and how I can fix the problem?
Which configuration file do I need to edit to correct this?
