Hi Emma,

Have you defined ASYN in busy/configure/RELEASE?  It is optional, and the Makefile should work without it, but you need to define it if you plan to use busy with areaDetector.

It looks like you are building dynamically (i.e. building .dll files), because otherwise it would not need asyn when building the library, only when building an executable.

This should work, but it's possible there is a problem somewhere that has not been found, because most people build for Windows statically, not dynamically.

If you want to build areaDetector then I don't think you can build dynamically, some of the libraries supplied with areaDetector (e.g. GraphicsMagick) require a static build.

I suggest you change 

EPICS_BASE/configure/os/CONFIG_SITE.windows-x64.windows-x64 

to define

STATIC_BUILD=YES
SHARED_LIBRARIES=NO

You then need to rebuild base and synApps.

Mark

Subject: Windows busy build error - epics 3.14.12.1

Hi folks,

Banging my head against a Windows build error...

I'm trying to get to the stage where I can build AreaDetector 1-7 on 64-bit Windows 7.  I can successfully build base-13-12-1 and asyn-4-18, but my first hurdle is that busy 1-4 fails with the following link error:

Creating library busy.lib and object busy.exp
devBusyAsyn.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol pasynEpicsUtils
devBusyAsyn.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol pasynInt32SyncIO

make: *** [busyApp.install] Error 2

I'm using Visual Studio 2010, and gnumake.  The problem seems to be with the version of EPICS base, as I get the same problem when I try to compile it as 32-bit as well unless I revert to EPICS 3.14.11.  I can build other modules that depend on asyn just fine (like std).

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Emma
