Hi:
Well, I cannot duplicate your exact setup right now,
but for what it's worth, below is the result on a
Mac w/ R3.14.6.
Tomorrow I can check the output for some Redhat linux
and R3.14.7.
Anyway, the sequence performed by make that I get is this:
- compile several *.cpp files, FUX.cpp being the last one
- combine all the *.o into libTools.a
- build some test code, which indeed links recIoc,
  searching both the 'base' and 'extension' lib dirs,
  presumably locating recIoc in the 'base' lib dir.
The point is:
Your make's error message
"...librecIoc.a', needed by `libTools.a'"
doesn't make sense to me since libTools.a
doesn't include librecIoc.a
Well, these lines in Tools/Makefile could result in
trying to link librecIoc.a into libTools.a:
# In case of shared lib, link these:
Tools_LIBS += $(EPICS_BASE_IOC_LIBS)
... but ChannelArchiver/make.cfg should assert
that you're not trying to build shared libs:
# These are overrides for CONFIG_SITE.
SHARED_LIBRARIES = NO
Did you change that setting?

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 -

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?
