Hi Till,

Thanks for labCA-3.5.0.  I've built and tested it on windows-x64 and it mostly seems to be working.  I get an odd message when I build:

C:\epics\R3.15.2\extensions\src\labca_3_5_0>make > make_labca_3_5_0.txt
process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, sed -n -e "s/\(.*[^b]subsection.*[{][ \t]*\)\(lca[a-zA-Z0-9]*\).*/\2/gp" manual.tex, ...) failed.

Thanks. That's luckily benign (safe to ignore) but nevertheless a bug in

the makefile. The above command

should not have to be executed unless documentation is rebuilt from the

.tex file. I usually create docs

during the release process so there is no need for 'sed' -- which may

not be available under windows.

And I may have a problem with the new lcaGetEnumStrings().  Here's what happens in matlab R2015a:

lcaGetEnumStrings('LTD-Q1D:Control')

Invalid MEX-file 'C:\epics\R3.15.2\extensions\src\labca_3_5_0\bin\windows-x64\labca\lcaGetEnumStrings.mexw64': The specified
procedure could not be found.

Hmm - I'm not able to reproduce this. Works fine for me -- but the only

matlab I have access to is

2012a/linux-x86 and 2014b/linux-x86_64.

Do the other entry points work (e.g., 'lcaGet()') ?

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

Yeah. tsDefs is cruft from the old days.

I just put up a new release (labca-3.5.0) which does away with tsDefs and TS_STAMP (replaced by epicsTime.h and epicsTimeStamp, respectively).

This release also features a new call 'lcaGetEnumStrings()' which allows you to retrieve the set of possible values for enum-type PVs.

Available as usual from

http://www.slac.stanford.edu/~strauman/labca/

Hi,

I'm building labCA (version 3.4.2) on base-3.15.2 for 64-bit windows.  The build fails in the 'glue' directory when it cannot find the include file 'tsDefs.h'.  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:

I'm not sure what to do next ...
