Hi Andrew,

I see the problem.

 motor/motorExApp/WithAsyn/Makefile contains these lines:

COMMONDBDS += drvAsynSerialPort.dbd
COMMONDBDS += drvAsynIPPort.dbd

asyn R4-22 had this change, from the Release Notes:

**************************************************
Changes to work with EPICS base 3.15
Removed include of asyn.dbd, from drvAsynSerialPort.dbd, drvAsynIPPort.dbd, drvVxi11.dbd, and drvGsIP488.dbd.
**************************************************

So previously including devAsynSerialPort.dbd or drvAsynIPPort.dbd caused asyn.dbd to also be included.  That was never a good idea, and does not work in EPICS R3-15, so now asyn.dbd needs to be explicitly included.

I have modified /motorExApp/WithAsyn/Makefile to add asyn.dbd and committed to SVN.

Mark

Hi Eric,

You are right. When I add COMMONDBDS += asyn.dbd to the makefile in motorR6-8/motorExApp/WithAsyn, I no longer receive those errors. It is strange, I have never had to make this modification to the Makefile before when compiling WithAsyn. I imagine something else also went wrong on this particular system to cause this error. 

Thanks!
Andrew

Are you sure that you've included asyn.dbd in your application?
Also, just to make sure that everything really has been rebuilt, try running
        make distclean
        make
from the application top directory and then see if things work.

I am using the latest versions of asyn (4-22) and motor (6-8). I have made all modifications listed such that motor record builds its example application, including WithAsyn which is what I really need.
