Hello again,

thank you all, for some first hints.

A bit more detailed information about my setup:

*debian linux (squeeze, amd64)

*EPICS packages installed from the repository at

http://epics.nsls2.bnl.gov/debian/ (EPICS 3.14.12.3)

*StreamDevice-2-6 (from psi website)
*Asyn 4-17

The active lines in the RELEASE file are:
==========================================================
TEMPLATE_TOP=$(EPICS_BASE)/templates/makeBaseApp/top
SNCSEQ=$(EPICS_BASE)/../modules/soft/seq
EPICS_BASE=/usr/lib/epics
ASYN=/usr/local/src/support/asyn/trunk
==========================================================

The SNCSEQ line seems to point to nowhere (path doesn't exist), but it

definitively works for the pure sequencer IOC like this. (!??!)

sncExample.dbd contains one line:
==========================================================
registrar(sncExampleRegistrar)
==========================================================

And the dbd file containing the stream device support is as follows:
streamInclude.dbd
==========================================================
include "base.dbd"
include "stream.dbd"
include "asyn.dbd"
registrar(drvAsynIPPortRegisterCommands)
registrar(drvAsynSerialPortRegisterCommands)
==========================================================

As I gather these line here, I realize, streamInclude.dbd is nowhere

being referenced explicitly. Does it have some special status?

Greetings,
Christoph

Christoph,
At first glance it looks ok.  If you send me your RELEASE and your dbd file, I'll take a look.  I wouldn't use the name stream for your prod name, but I don't think that's your problem.

Sequencer and streamDevice should play nice without issue.  I think it's something in the files I requested to see.

Subject: sequencer + streamdevice

Hello,

I'm having trouble setting up an IOC which provides both, the
sequencer
and the streamdevice support at the same time.

Using "makeBaseApp -t ioc" allowed me to setup basic IOCs that
support
either the sequencer or the StreamDevice support. I therefore
modified
the files
configure/RELEASE
iocApp/src/Makefile
accordingly.

I checked that the resulting IOCs are ok by typing "help" in the IOC
shell -> either the "seq" or the "drvAsynIPPortConfigure" will be
part
of the list of supported commands. I could also execute the state
machine from "makeBaseApp -t example".

If I try to write a Makefile which combines both features, "make"
does
not complain (as it seems to me). But "help" in the ioc shell tells
me
that "seq" is not a known command.

Can anyone explain what goes wrong here?

(The iocApp/src/Makefile of the "combined" IOC is attached)

Greetings,
Christoph
