Hi Ali,

What version of ADore are you running?  Is it R2-0, R2-1, or the latest master branch?  Similarly, are you running ADBinaries R2-0, R2-1, or the latest master branch?  If you are using the master branch of both ADBinaries and ADCore then the following note in ADBinaries/RELEASE.md is important:

- Updated the HDF5 libraries from release 1.8.7 to 1.8.14. The names of the libraries have changed, so Makefiles must be modified. Both static and dynamic libraries are provided. The symbol HDF5_STATIC_BUILD must be defined to instruct the build system which version of the library to use: YES=static, NO=dynamic.

So you must define HDF5_STATIC_BUILD=NO.  You can do this in areaDetector/configure/CONFIG_SITE.local.  The example version of that file, EXAMPLE_CONFIG_SITE.local, now defines that correctly.

Mark

Subject: Error in compiling area detector.

Hello tech-talkers,

I am running into the following error when I try to compile the following area detector module. https://github.com/areaDetector?page=2

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

My build site is configured as follows:

Epics base-3.14.12.4 (compiled dynamically) using MS Visual studio 12.0
all required support libraries for area detector are compiled namely:
ASYN=$(SUPPORT)/asyn-4-26
AUTOSAVE=$(SUPPORT)/autosave-5-5
BUSY=$(SUPPORT)/busy-1-6
SSCAN=$(SUPPORT)/sscan-2-10
CALC=$(SUPPORT)/calc-3-4-2
and EPICS host env variable is set to windows-x64

I know previously, dynamic build for area detector wasn't possible for modules before 1-9-1. I am using 2-0 (I am guessing that is the one currently hosted at github. I searched for this issue on tech-talks and found that the error has something to do with the  HDF5 library. I wanted to know if someone can help me fix this.

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you.

Best,
Ali
