Dear All,
I am trying to build Channel Archiver with EPICS R3.14.7 on linux-x86.
I start from a blank slate by installing/building base into the
directory base-3.14.7
I then download extensionsConfigure_20040406.tar.gz and unzip it so I
now have the following tree
base-3.14.7/
   Makefile
   bin/
    .
    .
extensions/
   Makefile
   configure/
I edit extensions/configure/RELEASE so that the value of EPICS_BASE is
correct.
I create the directory extensions/src into which I unzip archiver.tgz
(a 11/07/2005 snapshot of the Channel Archiver) so that now I have
extensions/
   Makefile
   configure/
   src/
      ChannelArchiver
         Makefile
         /Tools
           .
           .
           .
I change directory to extensions/src/ChannelArchiver and type "make".
Make creates the directory Tools/O.linux-x86, and then begins compiling
the source in the Tools directory. When it gets to FUX.cpp I get the output:
/usr/bin/g++ -c -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=199506L -D_POSIX_THREADS
-D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500 -D_X86_ -DUNIX -D_BSD_SOURCE -Dlinux
-D_REENTRANT -ansi -g -Wall -D ARCH_VERSION=2 -D ARCH_RELEASE=6 -D
ARCH_PATCH=0 -D ARCH_VERSION_TXT=\"2.6.0\"
-I/mnt/disk1/tmp/jad/ca_test/base-3.14.7/include

-I/usr/local/xerces-c-src2_4_0/include -g -fPIC -I. -I..
-I../../../../include/os/Linux -I../../../../include ../FUX.cpp

make[2]: *** No rule to make target
`../../../../lib/linux-x86//librecIoc.a', needed by `libTools.a'. Stop.

make[2]: Leaving directory
`/mnt/disk1/tmp/jad/ca_test/extensions/src/ChannelArchiver/Tools/O.linux-x86'

make[1]: *** [install.linux-x86] Error 2

make[1]: Leaving directory
`/mnt/disk1/tmp/jad/ca_test/extensions/src/ChannelArchiver/Tools'

make: *** [Tools.install] Error 2
It is looking for librecIoc.a in the wrong place?
(extensions/lib/linux-x86 instead of base-3.14.7/lib/linux-x86)
Can someone please suggest how to fix this?
