I don't know about the problem with softIoc.  Where is it getting those single quotes?

Did you try my suggestion of -fpermissive when building with MinGW?  I think it should have at least eliminated the error you reported.

Hey Mark,

The base I am trying to build is 3.14.12.1.
Mingw32-make didn't work. So i tried Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Express. The compilation ended successfully with a few warnings.
However, when I try to run softIoc.exe, I see the following error:

d:\>softIoc
filename="..\dbLexRoutines.c" line number=243
Invalid argument dbRead opening file 'D:\baseR3.14.12.1\new'/dbd/softIoc.dbd

       Hi Pavel,



       What version of base is this?



       I think you can avoid this error by adding this line to base/configure/os/CONFIG_SITE.win32-x86-mingw.win32-x86-mingw



       USR_CFLAGS += -fpermissive

       USR_CXXFLAGS += -fpermissive



       But if this is the latest version of base then I think there is an error that should be fixed.

       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"

       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 :
