The epid record is in the synApps "std" module.  I don't know if you have already done this or not, but you need to download that module from this site:

http://www.aps.anl.gov/bcda/synApps/std/std.html

One you do you can build it.  If you are only interested in the epid record from that module you can comment out everything else in the Makefile and stdSupport.dbd files.  If you do that then "std" will only depend on base, and you comment out the lines about "snc" and "asyn" in its configure/RELEASE file.

Once you build std you need to add a line like

STD = /home/me/epics/std

to your application's configure/RELEASE file so it knows where to look epidRecord.dbd.  Your Makefile would then contain the line:

testPID_LIBS += std

not

testPID_LIBS += devEpidSoft

because devEpidSoft is not the name of the library.

I have a question: if i want use only the epid record with your
