It sounds like your question is the same as one I posed earlier, and
Andrew's reply may be helpful:

Yes, this helps.  :)
I did get most of those already.

However my embedded linux target was complaining about caRepeater.

So, I had to make change in here:

base/src/ca/Makefile

All is well, now. :)

I found that I need to have caRepeater available for my target but EPICS
BASE does not build it.
How have others done this?
We build our target as a CROSS, so caRepeater only gets built for HOST
builds.

Now for vxWorks and RTEMS, they use "repeater.cpp" which gets linked in.

What I have done for our embedded linux target is the following, is this
acceptable?
=====================================================
Modify,<BASE>/src/ca/Makefile
And added:

ifeq ($(T_A),linuxRT-x86)
   PROD_DEFAULT += caRepeater catime acctst caConnTest casw caEventRate
endif

Then, I did a build like so,
make CROSS_COMPILER_TARGET_ARCHS=linuxRT-x86

Thanks in advance for your comments and help.

Cheers,
Ernest
