Subject: Problems building on Cygwin

Folks,

 

I have into a problem I don’t understand when building some EPICS modules with recent versions of Cygwin.  My version is currently 2.0.1 with gcc 4.8.3

 

$ more /proc/version

CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW version 2.0.1(0.287/5/3) ([email protected]) (gcc version 4.8.3 20140522 (Fedora Cygwin 4.8.3-6) (GCC) ) 2015-04-30 18:13

 

This is the problem I get when building mca/mcaApp/CanberraSrc:

 

$ make

make -C O.cygwin-x86 -f ../Makefile TOP=../../.. \

    T_A=cygwin-x86 install

This is the error I get when building dxp/dxpApp/handelSrc:

 

$ make

    T_A=cygwin-x86 install

In both cases the error is “error adding symbols: File in wrong format” when trying to link the DLL with a vendor library (.lib) file.

 

These same vendor libraries used to work fine when building statically on an older version of Cygwin.

 

Running “file” and “nm” on the .lib files seems to work OK:

 

$ file PlxApi.lib

PlxApi.lib: current ar archive

 

rivers@rivers-mobile2 /corvette/home/epics/devel/dxp/lib/cygwin-x86

$ nm PlxApi.lib

Does anyone know what the problem could be, and how to work around it?

 

Thanks,

Mark
