It also works with Cygwin.  Careful re-reading of the MEDM
documentation will resolve most problems.

http://www.aps.anl.gov/epics/EpicsDocumentation/ExtensionsManuals/MEDM/MEDM.html

I know of no tool for edl2adl conversions.
It's not that easy since there are some capabilities
that do not have a mapping from EDM to MEDM.

medm can be built on Windows, but you can also download a pre-built

It definitely works with Exceed, but also with some other free X
packages.

Pawel,

EDM will never, ever build on cygwin.

Note that a new initiative is in the works to build control system gui tools using the eclipse

RCP platform. This will give you access from windows.

There is also an older display manager, MEDM, which I believe will compile in a windows environment with certain 3rd party X Windows tools. I don't know the details but someone

on the tech-talk list may be able to help.

Hello,

I am having an issue with getting EDM to compile on cygwin. I noticed that in the EDM documentation it says that LessTif is not recommended;

but that seems to be the only option available with cygwin as I can't find the OpenMotif package. Is this my issue or am I doing something else wrong? I also saw that the makefiles under EDM set SHARED_LIBRARIES = YES, is this a problem under cygwin?

I attached the make log, help would be appreciated.
