Hi,

I have 3 comments and questions:

1) I don't understand this error, because on Tornado 2.2 the prototype for the stat function on my system is in:

 /usr/local/vw/tornado22-ppc/target/h/sys/stat.h

It is defined as follows:

extern    STATUS       stat (const char *name, struct stat *pStat);

So the first argument to stat is "const char *name", and that is what is being passed to it.  Why does your version appear to define it as

stat(char *, stat *)

2) You can certainly just comment out areaDetector from the top level Makefile, depending on what you plan to use EPICS for.  Do you want to run on vxWorks, and if so for what devices?

3) You are building synApps 5-6, which is over 3 years old.  synApps 5-7 is only 1.5 years old.  Perhaps you should try the newer version.

Mark

Subject: Problem about cross-complie SynApps

Hi, I am trying to cross-compile SynApps_5_6 on CentOS6.6 (32bit and runing in VMware),I have successfully finished cross-compling the base-3.14.12 on that CentOS6.6 . I have installed the: msi , re2c packages. It seems like that the problem is from cross-compling the "areaDetector-1-8beta1" App , because the I getting the following error :

............
............
/include      -I/home/wuhj/epics/Tornado2.2/target/h ../BISDetector.cpp
../BISDetector.cpp: In method `enum asynStatus BISDetector::readSFRM(const char *, epicsTimeStamp *, double, NDArray *)':
../BISDetector.cpp:153: passing `const char *' as argument 1 of `stat(char *, stat *)' discards qualifiers
make[3]: *** [BISDetector.o] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/wuhj/epics/synApps_5_6/support/areaDetector-1-8beta1/ADApp/brukerSrc/O.vxWorks-ppc604_long'
make[2]: *** [install.vxWorks-ppc604_l ong] Error 2

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/wuhj/epics/synApps_5_6/support/areaDetector-1-8beta1/ADApp'
make: *** [ADApp.install] Error 2

If I comment the areaDetector module in the file :$(support)/configure/RELEASE , then the whole SynApps will be successfully cross-compiled without errors .

I am new to EPICS and thanks a lot for the help .
