RE: Build Problem for IOC

Hi,

Have you run the startup/windows.bat or vcvarsall.bat from the cmd window prior to typing make for the ioc? I think your computer may have the compiler (cl) in the system PATH, but it will not work fully as it is missing some environment variables unless one of these bat files is run.

Regards,

Freddie

Subject: Build Problem for IOC

Hi all again,

I'm sorry to bother you all with my trivial questions but i think i messed something that i cant' fix. When i try to build the test IOC following the instructions here: 
https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://docs.epics-controls.org/en/latest/getting-started/installation-windows-plain.html__;!!G_uCfscf7eWS!Ypx43Eshsktai-zDAgSTdWH1mjDfddYk0xc8YuAcu1MbCDRf_-0Nb1BXyJIeZaqm66Auia6SKBm7Q1vcqX34py0EYuQ$ . 
However, when i try to build the IOC, i get an error. I think i messed up the tools installations but i'm not sure. I'm sorry to bother, but this is also my first approach to coding in C/C++.

Regards.
