Hi Pavel,

 

I understand now.  I thought you were just using MinGW for gnumake.  But you want to use the gcc compiler as well.

 

You have set the wrong value for EPICS_HOST_ARCH.  You have set it to win32-x86, which is the architecture that requires Visual Studio.

 

You need to set the environment variable EPICS_HOST_ARCH to win32-x86-mingw.  That will use gcc.

Hi Mark,

Do I really need MS Visual Studio?
According to this (http://www.aps.anl.gov/epics/base/win32.phphttp://www.aps.anl.gov/epics/base/win32.php):

Download and install a compiler:

• Microsoft Visual C++ Express 2010, or
• MinGW version of GCC
• You can also use Microsoft's commercial C++ development tools if you have them.

I used MinGW. I see 'or' here.

Hi Pavel,

I think the problem is that you have not set up your environment for Visual Studio.  Your PATH environment variable does not include the path to the Visual Studio compiler.  You need to execute the "vcvarsall.bat file that comes with Visual Studio.

This is the batch file I use to set up EPICS builds for win32-x86.

rem This file sets up for an EPICS win32-x86 build
set EPICS_HOST_ARCH=win32-x86
rem This is the location of "make"
set PATH=C:\Program Files\GnuWin32\bin;C:\Perl\bin;H:\epics\base\bin\win32-x86;%PATH%

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat" x86

Subject: [help] EPICS build no good

Hello,


This is my first attempt ever to build EPICS (and it's the first time I try to compile something really big, as a matter of fact).
In accordance with the following instructions (http://www.aps.anl.gov/epics/base/win32.php) and recommendations by Dirk Zimoch (thanks!), I tried to build EPICS baseR3.14.12.1 on Windows 7 Starter using:

* MinGW version of GCC
* ActiveState Perl (ActivePerl-5.14.2.1402-MSWin32-x86)

This is what I get :

Why can it be so? The same thing using GnuWin32:

I set the PATH Environment Variable to:

I don't know if there was a need to do so. Because I can see it's mentioned in the win32.bat file. Here's my win32.bat (in the ming32-make case):

Didn't change anything else. I think I missed something. What do you think I've missed?

Thank you.
