Hi Andrew,

I started, as you suggest, by commenting out '#include <tsDefs.h>' in multiEzca.h.  I got a similar error, this time in multiEzca.c.

make[2]: Entering directory `C:/epics/R3.15.2/extensions/src/labca_3_4_2/glue/O.windows-x64'
cl -EHsc -GR            -DMATLAB_APP     -nologo -D__STDC__=0 -D_CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE -D_CRT_NONSTDC_NO_DEPRECATE   -Ox -GL -Oy-   -W3 -w44355        -MD -DEPICS_BUILD_DLL -DEPICS_CALL_DLL -TP  -I. -I../O.Common -I. -I. -I.. -I../../include/compiler/msvc -I../../include/os/WIN32 -I../../include -I../../../../../base/include/compiler/msvc -I../../../../../base/include/os/WIN32 -I../../../../../base/include           -I../../ezca -IC:\matlab\R2015a/extern/include    -c ../ini.cc

make[1]: Leaving directory `C:/epics/R3.15.2/extensions/src/labca_3_4_2/glue'

So I commented out '#include <tsDefs.h>' in multiEzca.c, and the build completed without error.

I tried adding '#include "epicsTime.h"', to multiEzca.h and that apparently worked, so I added it to multiEzca.c and that worked too.

Thanks very much!

Steve

Subject: Re: building labCA on base 3.15.2, missing tsDefs.h

Hi Stephen,

The tsDefs.h header was removed from Base between the 3.14 and 3.15 release series, it gave access to some routines which were replaced early in the 3.14 series with a new API, the epicsTime routines and the generalTime facility. If you don't have the C programming skills to make the necessary changes to the C source yourself you should ask the labCA maintainer whether they have a version ported to EPICS 3.15.2. The changes shouldn't take an experienced C developer very long to make, often the tsDefs.h routines were just used to convert time stamps into a string representation, for which there is now an EPICS version of strftime() that can be used instead.

If you want to try making the fix yourself, start by removing the #include "tsDefs.h" line from the multiEzca.h file and running make again to see what that breaks. You might want to try replacing it with #include "epicsTime.h" as well. Be sure to keep any follow-up conversation here on tech-talk since there are many people here who can help.

- Andrew

Indeed, I do not find tsDefs.h in base-3.15.2, but I do find it in base-3.14.12.2, though it seems to be deprecated there.  Here are the last few lines of the build:
