Hi all,
I have released the next version of StreamDevice.
http://epics.web.psi.ch/software/streamdevice
Several compilation errors on Tornado 2.0.2 and Solaris have been fixed,
as well as a few other bugs. Thanks to everyone who has reported bugs.
Optional support for sCalcout (synApps) is added.
API documentation is still incomplete, but hopefully you only need the
User's Guide.
Download and enjoy.

Dirk, thanks for bringing us the updated version.
Now, I have a question about building it. My target platform is linux-x86, EPICS 3.14.8.2, with asyn-4.5, including the open-source
linux gpib drivers.
In attempting to build it on a virgin EPICS installation, I find that the Makefiles seem to be geared to EPICS 3.13 style build
systems. Has anyone succeeded in building it under anything like my platform? I am attempting to wade through the process of
converting things myself, but for me it is a non-trivial task, and I will probably naively do something that will haunt me later.
In devStreamProtocol.h, I see the line
#include <vxWorks.h>
and the build dies, looking for a lot of variabl type aliases (ushort_t, etc.)
Since this is a linux build, I have no such header file. Is there an alternate header file within EPICS base that defines these?
Thanks.
