I've copied some instructions written by Eugene Tan from our team, who has
had EPICS 3.14.4 running on cygwin for some time.
**************************************************************
1) You need the following applications installed in the CYGWIN
distribution â
a. Make
b. Gcc [or equivalent c compiler]
c. Perl
2) The following instructions will assume that the relent ENV variables
for the proper running of CYGWIN has been set and everything is working
fine.
3) Put the EPICS base folder somewhere you want epics to run from
bash-2.05b$ cd c:
bash-2.05b$ mkdir epics
bash-2.05b$ #â[copy the base tar file into âepicsâ dir] â
bash-2.05b$ tar xf baseR3.14.4.tar
bash-2.05b$ ls
base-3.14.4
bash-2.05b$ cd base-3.14.4
bash-2.05b$ ls
LICENSE Makefile README config configure documentation
src startup
bash-2.05b$
4) NOTE: the installation directory path must not have white spaces in
them else you will encounter problems while compiling.
Eg. C:\epics control\ youâll have problems with this
Instead use C:\epics_control\
5) Set the following environment variable EPICS_HOST_ARCH to
win32-x86-cygwin. Done via [ControlPanel]->[Performanceâ]->[System];
Select the Advanced tab; go to the bottom button, EnvironmentVariables. OR
Right click on MyComputer; select properties; select the Advande tab; go to
the bottom button, EnvironmentVariables]
6) Then type âmakeâ.
bash-2.05b$ ls
LICENSE Makefile README config configure documentation
src startup
bash-2.05b$ make
make[1]: Entering directory
`/cygdrive/c/et_home/install_files/epics_3_14_4/base
-3.14.4/config'
make -C O.win32-x86-cygwin -f ../Makefile TOP=../..
T_A=win32-x86-cygwin install
make[2]: Entering directory
`/cygdrive/c/et_home/install_files/epics_3_14_4/base
-3.14.4/config/O.win32-x86-cygwin'
â.etcâ
bash-2.05b$ ls
LICENSE README config dbd html lib
startup
Makefile bin configure documentation include src
templates
bash-2.05b$ cd bin
bash-2.05b$ ls
win32-x86-cygwin
bash-2.05b$ cd win32-x86-cygwin
bash-2.05b$ pwd
/cygdrive/c/epics/base-3.14.4/bin/win32-x86-cygwin
bash-2.05b$
7) You will get some warnings from the compiler about c++ comments and
some NULL string somewhere in the program. As far as I can tell its not a
problem.
8) Then set the âbin/win32-x86-cygwinâ directory into the PATH
environment variable. I.e.
C:\epics\base-3.14.4\bin\win32-x86-cygwin
9) Then youâre all set. So far Iâve only run this as a stand-alone
system, without network connections to other systems. To do this youâll
have to set two other environment variables.
EPICS_CA_AUTO_ADDR_LIST NO
EPICS_CA_ADDR_LIST 127.0.0.1 For more info look at some
documentation found in C:\epics\base-3.14.4\html
The first environment variable tells EPICS not to automatically
detect a CA server and the second is to tell EPICS exactly which
address to connect to.
10) To test the system,
bash-2.05b$ makeBaseApp.pl -l
Valid application types are:
caClient
caServer
example
ioc
support
Valid iocBoot types are:
example
ioc
bash-2.05b$ makeBaseApp.pl ât example test
bash-2.05b$ ls
Makefile configure testApp
bash-2.05b$ makeBaseApp.pl âi ât example test
Using target architecture win32-x86-cygwin (only one available)
bash-2.05b$ ls
Makefile configure iocBoot testApp
bash-2.05b$ make
make -C configure install
make[1]: Entering directory `/cygdrive/c/epics/work1/configure'
perl /cygdrive/c/epics/base-3.14.4
/configure/tools/convertRelease.pl -h win32-x8
6-cygwin checkRelease
perl /cygdrive/c/epics/base-3.14.4
/configure/tools/makeMakefile.pl O.win32-x86-c
ygwin ../..
mkdir O.Common
make -C O.win32-x86-cygwin -f ../Makefile TOP=../..
T_A=win32-x86-cygwin install
âetcâ
bash-2.05b$ ls
Makefile bin configure db dbd include iocBoot lib
testApp
bash-2.05b$ cd iocBoot/ioctest/
bash-2.05b$ ls
Makefile README envPaths st.cmd
bash-2.05b$ ../../bin/win32-x86-cygwin/test st.cmd Should be
able to make st.cmd an executable using âchmodâ, however in the
bash shell that I was using it didnât work. This method is an
alternative. âtestâ is a shell executable created with the make
command.
