Hi,
I have created a standard Mac OS X installer for EPICS binaries and
also a new Objective-C EPICS framework designed for easy integration
with Cocoa based applications, tools, frameworks, etc. The installer
will install both the EPICS binaries and the Objective-C framework.
Two examples are provided which demonstrate both the power and ease
of use of the new framework. Even if you don't use the framework,
the installer is still useful as a quick way of getting EPICS on a
Mac without having to recompile it for each user (not all EPICS users
are developers).
I can provide the framework source to those interested. It is likely
to be source compatible with GNU Step, so porting to other platforms
should be easy.
This framework allows rapid development of rich Mac OS X applications
integrated with EPICS.
You can find a link to the installer at:
http://ics-web1.sns.ornl.gov/
and select the "EPICS Installer" link under the "EPICS" heading.
Be sure to read the "README" file before installing.
thanks,
