On the epics web site there is information on building with tornado.

The instructions for building with tornado 2.2 are:
"Base R3.14.1 should build on Tornado 2.2 without change (you do need to
correctly set the TORNADO_VERSION_2_2 option in the configure/RELEASE
file though)."

That file may be a little out of date, I haven't touched it for quite some
time (sorry!).
What is the correct setting for TORNADO_VERSION_2_2?

There is no setting needed in recent R3.14 versions of Base. I'm not sure
when that requirement went away, and right now I can't even see where it's
used in the R3.14.1 configure directory.
The issue I encountered is that in Tornado 2.2 (VxWorks 5.5) the c++
header files have moved.

Are you having build problems or was that just an informational comment?
The C++ headers are probably more compiler-specific than the C ones, and
for the GNU toolset can be found in host/<arch>-<os>/include/g++-3.
Note that the g++ compiler should know the above location already, so you
won't need that information unless you're building your own toolset. Dave
Thompson's instructions for Linux produced a toolset that works for me.
