Hi Emmanuel,

I'm not sure I understand your question, but in general state programs ARE included in the respective EPICS device libraries.

Here is part of a Makefile for a module called "ip"

******************
LIBRARY_IOC_solaris = -nil-
LIBRARY_IOC_DEFAULT += ip
DBD += ipSupport.dbd
DBD += ipVXSupport.dbd
DBD += ip.dbd
DBD += ipVX.dbd
ip_SRCS += devXxStrParm.c
ip_SRCS += devXxEurotherm.c
ip_SRCS += devAiHeidND261.c
ip_SRCS += devAiMKS.c
ip_SRCS += Keithley2kDMM.st
ip_SRCS += Federal.st
ip_SRCS += devMPC.c
ip_SRCS += devGP307gpib.c 
******************
Note that the library includes a seq program, Keithley2kDMM.st.

Here is part of ipSupport.dbd

******************

# Pfeiffer TPG261 Vacuum Controller
device(ai,        INST_IO, devAiTPG261,    "asyn TPG261")
device(bi,        INST_IO, devBiTPG261,    "asyn TPG261")
device(mbbi,      INST_IO, devMbbiTPG261,  "asyn TPG261")
device(stringin,  INST_IO, devSiTPG261,    "asyn TPG261")
device(ao,        INST_IO, devAoTPG261,    "asyn TPG261")
device(bo,        INST_IO, devBoTPG261,    "asyn TPG261")
device(mbbo,      INST_IO, devMbboTPG261,  "asyn TPG261")

registrar(Keithley2kDMMRegistrar)
******************

Note that it includes the line to register the seq program.

Any EPICS application that wants to use this seq program simply includes the ip library and ipSupport.dbd.

In the st.cmd for an IOC that uses that application you just execute the "seq" command to start the seq program.

Does this answer your question?

Mark

Subject: sequence compilation in multi-device IOC

Hello,

I have two different devices drivers.
Each one of them:
* uses the sequencer
* compiles a basic/simpleOC that works
* build dset/rset epics libraries

I notice that the state programs are compiled in the IOC directly.
That is, they are not included in the respective epics device libraries

Now, I would like to create a more complex IOC that supports all of my
devices. How can I compile in the state programs? (without referencing
directly the individual st file ?)

Cheers,
