Hi Janet,

 

I’m having trouble building "antelope" on cygwin-x86 under 3.14.12.1.  It works fine under 3.14.12.

 

Here is the output of the final link command under 3.14.12

 

$ make

…

g++ -o antelope.exe -static -Lh:/epics/base-3.14.12/lib/cygwin-x86       -m32                closure.o error.o lalr.o lr0.o main.o mkpar.o o

utput.o reader.o skeleton.o symtab.o verbose.o warshall.o   -lCom   -lpthread   -lreadline -lcurses -lm

Installing created file ../../../../bin/cygwin-x86/antelope.exe

make[1]: Leaving directory `/cygdrive/h/epics/base-3.14.12/src/toolsComm/antelope/O.cygwin-x86'

 

Here is the output under 3.14.12.1

 

g++ -o antelope.exe -static -Lh\:/epics/base-3.14.12.1/lib/cygwin-x86       -m32                closure.o error.o lalr.o lr0.o main.o mkpar.

make[1]: *** [antelope.exe] Error 1

make: *** [install.cygwin-x86] Error 2

 

The difference is that under 3.14.12 the command produced has “-Lh:/epics/base-3.14.12/lib/cygwin-x86”, while under 3.14.12.1 it has “-Lh\:/epics/base-3.14.12.1/lib/cygwin-x86”, i.e. it has an extra backslash.

 

I am compiling this under the Cygwin bash shell.

 

The cygwin configuation files in configure/os are identical in the 3.14.12 and 3.14.12.1 directories.

 

Thanks,

Mark
