Experimental Physics and
Industrial Control System

Hi Mark,
In area detector (1.6) the Makefile for pvCam only creates libraries for WIN32 and cygwin32.
I tried to build the pvCam library for Linux and the compilation failed with many errors.
How can the pvCam driver be used on Linux?

Thanks,
Zen
