I have one EPICS tree and use it to build Sun4, Solaris and SGI. I have gotten
around the problem you described (only 1 CONFIG_SITE file) in two different
ways:
- By typing "gmake install.sgi" when I want to build for SGI,
"gmake install.sun4" to build for sun4, etc. For most applications this
seems to work fine, i.e. the CONFIG_SITE file is then ignored. With this
method, simultaneous builds are possible.
- For those cases where this does not work I have 3 different CONFIG_SITE
files (CONFIG_SITE.my_sgi, etc.). I make a temporary soft-link from
CONFIG_SITE to these files. This obviously precludes truly simultaneous
builds.
