Heinrich -
There is a built-in <and functional> "template" that gives a complete example (dbd files, Makefile, c-code, st.cmd file) for adding your own custom record. Look at the IOC Application Developer's Guide, Example IOC Application (Section 2.2 in 3.14.9 version).
Specifically, look at the src directory after you perform the two makeBaseApp commands specified in Section 2.2.2.

Subject: trouble with custom record

Ok so I read all the stuff on custom records.. And I think I understand
the programming part and how the functions should get called ect ect.
But I can't seem to get the things to compile?
I have myRecord.dbd with record def inside. dbToRecordH thingy works
I have myRecord.c with the code. It can compile fine.
But I can't seem to get this to load into the actual ioc.
When I try to DBLoadDataBase(myRecord.dbd) then it complains about
dbCommon.dbd not available.
If I try to load myRecord.dbd as part of my ioc.dbd with the makefile
the I get some error in ioc_registerRecordDeviceDriver.cpp
if I try to get it to "expand" a new .dbd for my record it complains
about menu stuff missing.
help?
