If you build the example application that is part of base, it will
contain examples (hence the name) for IOC databases, state machines, a
CA client,... and will show you the necessary entries in the Makefiles
to create stuff. The "Getting Started" chapter of the Application
Developer's Guide has more details.

Cheers,
Ralph

I'm sorry, I don't quite follow, where do I put the .db files that will be loaded by the ioc? Do I have to put something in one of the Makefiles?

Does makeBaseApp -t ioc normally create a db folder in the top
directory, or does that get made by the user?

Neither; directories such bin, db, dbd, doc, html, include, and lib will get created at build time when make has something that needs to be installed in the relevant directory. Note that if you do a 'make distclean' at the top level, these directories *and their contents* will be deleted, so it is a bad idea to add files to them manually as they might not have a very long life.
