Hi all, I have been tasked with building EPICS on Windows. I was able to get it compiling using mingw64. I basically followed the instructions here (https://docs.epics-controls.org/en/latest/getting-started/installation-windows-msys2.html),
albeit I did not use the tar.gz file. I instead cloned the epics-base repository. I have been able to run an IOC and all of that. However, now I am trying to get mca to work, which requires com.lib and ca.lib. However, I do not see these in my lib directory. I only find com.dll.a and ca.dll.a,
which to my understanding is not a static library. The examples compilations in mca all use .lib. (https://github.com/epics-extensions/matlab_ca/blob/master/alt_compile/mcacompile_win64_mscc.m) Please advise? |
