RE: Building AreaDetector Vimba driver V 1.5

Hi Steven

 

Well we don’t have any IOCs based on ADVimba, but I cloned the latest version of the module and it compiled fine with our setup (ADCore 3.12, genicam 1.9, base 7.0.8), the only modification I did was in the configure/RELEASE file where I removed all includes and put dependencies locations directly:

 

EPICS_BASE

ASYN

ADCORE

ADGENICAM

 

And that’s it. A reference to include ADGenICamSupport.dbd is the iocs/vimbaIOC IOC and in my experience this happens if you have BUILD_IOCS = YES, which can be resolved by one of two choices:

1. Set BUILD_IOCS = NO in configure/CONFIG_SITE
2. Remove the line including the dbd file in iocs/vimbaIOC/vimbaApp/src/Makefile (Works with BUILD_IOCS = YES)

 

I still have no idea where this dbd file came from, but it seems to be not used anymore, I created a PR for this. I did not get the last warning, so I suspect there might be something with your paths definitions, maybe in configure/RELEASE or in the IOC’s configure/RELEASE.

 

Best Regards,

Abdalla.

Subject: Building AreaDetector Vimba driver V 1.5

 

Hi I am attempting to build the Vimba driver V1.5 downloaded today  from git.

 

I was previously  using V1.4

 

I have not updated other packages -  such as ADCore, ADGenICam etc

 

It fails looking for  file 'ADGenICamSupport.dbd' which I don't have under ADGenICam (which has no dbd directory) or indeed  anywhere in my areaDetector-R3-11 tree, and was therefore seemingly not needed by R1_4 ?

 

make also reports :

Your Makefile may need this dependency rule:
    $(COMMON_DIR)/vimbaApp.dbd: $(COMMON_DIR)/ADGenICamSupport.dbd

 

Which is a red herring?
