Subject: cross compilation missing caRepeater [SEC=OFFICIAL]

Hi EPICS community,

 

I recently took over maintaining the cross-compilation environment for our Red Pitaya targets.

 

I noticed that caRepeater was not running on the Red Pitaya hosts, and it turned out that

caRepeater program and others like caget, caput and camonitor were missing from the

base/bin/linux-arm-gnueabihf directory; while items such as pvget, pvinfo, softIoc were there.

 

As a work around I changed PROD_CMD to PROD_DEFAULT in modules/ca/src/client/Makefile and

modules/ca/src/tools/Makefile and then caRepeater and friends built successfully.

 

My question: is there something I can add to configure/CONFIG_SITE.local or similar to achieve

this without changing the Makefiles.

 

The version of EPICS base that I am using is R7.0.9

 

Regards

Andrew STARRITT
