OK, perhaps your problem is just in the syntax you are using to define paths.  It looks like you have defined EPICS_BASE to be C:/EPICS/base.  I would suggest instead defining it as /cygdrive/c/EPICS/base.  With that syntax then perhaps the standard Cygwin make will work?  You can either edit /cygdrive/c/mytop/configure/RELEASE or run makeBaseApp again.

Mark,

 

Using the make.exe received from you, I was able to get successfully compile the example IOC, but encountered the following (see below).

No, I think if base built OK then you can proceed to building the IOC.

 

 

Thanks, Mark.    Will do.   Should I attempt to rebuild EPICS base with this new make.exe prior to trying to compile/build the example IOC? 

 

Flo

 

 

http://cars.uchicago.edu/software/pub/make.gz

 

gunzip it, and rename it from make to make.exe.

 

Mark

 

 

 

Mark,

 

I tend to agree with you regarding figuring out why the latest version of Cygwin make is not working…..  

 

In the meantime, I was wondering if you could please have a copy of your make.gz.   Thought that I would give it a try.  

 

 

Flo

 

 

 

Interestingly I see the following:

 

$ uname -r

1.7.7(0.230/5/3)

 

$ ls -al /bin/make*

-rwx------+ 1 epics  None     495190 2008-05-23 17:48 /bin/make.exe

-rwxr-x---+ 1 epics  Users    151552 2008-02-09 13:50 /bin/make.exe.old

-rw-r--r--  1 rivers mkpasswd 179495 2009-01-12 14:03 /bin/make.gz

 

So my version of Cygwin is slightly older than yours, 1.7.7 vs 1.7.9.  I have the same version of make as you which I am NOT using, (it is renamed to make.exe.old) and I am using another version that is about 3 times larger.  I honestly don’t remember where I got the version that I am using.  But the .gz file expands into the version of make.exe that I am using.  I can make that available if you want, but I think we need to figure out why the latest version of Cygwin make is not working?

 

Mark

 

 

 

 

Mark,

 

Cgwin version is as follows:

$ uname -r

1.7.9(0.237/5/3)

 

 

Info for /bin/make is as follows:

$ ls -al make

-rwxr-xr-x 1 ui495a root 151552 Feb  9  2008 make

 

 

Flo

 

 

Those are the same settings I am using.

 

What version of Cygwin are you using?  What is the size and date of your /bin/make.exe?

 

Mark

 

 

 

Mark,

 

 

I’ve set the following in the file, CONFIG_SITE,

 

SHARED_LIBRARIES = NO

STATIC_BUILD = YES

 

Flo

 

 

I don’t think that tech-talk message of mine applies any more.  That was an attempt to use the Cygwin version of make to build for win32-x86.  That is not supported, and one should use the GnuWin version of make to build for win32-x86.  

 

As far as I know the current Cygwin version of make should work OK to build for the cygwin-x86 architecture, and there is no need to roll back to an earlier version.

 

Are you building statically or dynamically?

 

Mark

 

 

 

This tech-talk entry may fix your problem.

Hello all,

 

I’ve just installed EPICS base (3.14.12.1) on Windows XP with Cygwin (EPICS_HOST_ARCH = cygwin-x86).   To verify the installation, I was attempting to building the Example IOC application (per Section 2.2 of the Application Developer’s Guide). 

 

Unfortunately, I am encountering the following errors upon attempting to compile:

 

$ make

Not sure if this is an indication that I have a bad EPICS base build and/or have something lacking in my environment, etc.  Any help/info/assistance will be greatly appreciated. 

 

 

Thanks in advance,
