Right.

But:

The generic path definition is built from the definitions in

configure/CONFIG_BASE_VERSION (see

configure/os/CONFIG_SITE.Common.hpux-parisc), and these still have the

old numbers. Should the definitions in CONFIG_BASE_VERSION be changed in

the CVS repository immediately *after* a release instead of *before*

releasing?

For now, I get the correct generic path as soon as 3.14.8 is released,

as Janet is changing the numbers as part of creating the release.

So we do have an agreement that the -L option should always point to the

loacl build tree. Good.

I don't feel comfortable enough (yet) with the new configure files to

apply a fix. I guess that something has to be changed with the

definition of SHRLIB_DEPLIB_DIRS in

configure/os/CONFIG.Common.UnixCommon, but I'm not sure what exactly is

wrong there.

The two -Wl options (compiled-in locations for shared libraries) are

correct:

One location is the generic location, where the EPICS Base will be

installed. The other is the local directory, i.e. the location of the

Base that I'm currently linking against. This makes sure that the

libraries are found on the development machine as well as on the

runtime system (where the Base will be installed at the generic

location).

Shouldn't your 'generic' path be pointing to an empty or non-existent

directory though when you're compiling? You should change that path

to /opt/epics/R3.14.8/support/base/3-14-8-0 or similar, so it will

never try to link against old libraries. The -L option *should* be

pointing to your local build tree since that gets used at compile

time, but at runtime you also want it to search the install location.
