Re: Errors during building of asyn package

Hi Yuri,

I can see from your asyn/configure/RELEASE file that you are using a very old version of asyn.  The last version that contained the lines you have was R4-36 in 2019.  I suggest you update to a new version.

Does this file exist?  It is optionally included in asyn/configure/RELEASE after EPICS_BASE is defined there.

/home/yury/EPICS/configure/EPICS_BASE.linux-x86_64

If so, does it correctly define EPICS_BASE?

Hi Mark,

 

Yes, I think I did.

My /home/yury/EPICS/support/asyn/configure/RELEASE file looks like that:

 

 

HOME=/home/yury

SUPPORT=$(HOME)/EPICS/support

-include $(TOP)/../configure/SUPPORT.$(EPICS_HOST_ARCH)

EPICS_BASE=${HOME}/EPICS/epics-base

-include $(TOP)/../configure/EPICS_BASE.$(EPICS_HOST_ARCH)

Hi Yury,

 

You need to edit asyn/configure/RELEASE to define the path to EPICS_BASE.  This is what mine looks like:

 

EPICS_BASE=/corvette/usr/local/epics/base-7.0.7

 

Yours should probably look like this:

 

EPICS_BASE=/home/yury/EPICS/epics-base

 

Did you edit that file correctly?

 

Mark

Hi All,

 

I am using virtual machine running ubuntu-22.04.4-desktop-amd64.

I am a newbie in EPICS, trying to follow this guide:

Installation on Linux / MacOS — EPICS Documentation documentation (epics-controls.org)

But when I am trying to build asyn package I have some errors:

 

make

make -C ./configure install

make[1]: Entering directory '/home/yury/EPICS/support/asyn/configure'

make -C O.linux-x86_64 -f ../Makefile TOP=../.. \

    T_A=linux-x86_64 install

make[2]: Entering directory '/home/yury/EPICS/support/asyn/configure/O.linux-x86_64'

perl -CSD /home/yury/EPICS/epics-base/bin/linux-x86_64/convertRelease.pl checkRelease

EPICS_BASE must be set in a configure/RELEASE file.

make[2]: *** [/home/yury/EPICS/epics-base/configure/RULES_BUILD:208: checkRelease] Error 2

make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/yury/EPICS/support/asyn/configure/O.linux-x86_64'

make[1]: *** [/home/yury/EPICS/epics-base/configure/RULES_ARCHS:58: install.linux-x86_64] Error 2

make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/yury/EPICS/support/asyn/configure'

make: *** [/home/yury/EPICS/epics-base/configure/RULES_DIRS:85: configure.install] Error 2

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

 

 

Yury
