Since you probably need to set $(ADCORE) and $(QUADEM) differently for

Linux and Windows anyway, what about $(SEP)?

epicsEnvSet("EPICS_DB_INCLUDE_PATH", "$(ADCORE)/db$(SEP)$(QUADEM)/db")

or $(:)
epicsEnvSet("EPICS_DB_INCLUDE_PATH", "$(ADCORE)/db$(:)$(QUADEM)/db")

Is there an OS-independent path separator available for use when setting
EPICS_DB_INCLUDE_PATH?

I have this line in my startup script:

epicsEnvSet("EPICS_DB_INCLUDE_PATH", "$(ADCORE)/db:$(QUADEM)/db")

I used a colon as the separator. This works on Linux and VxWorks.
However, it does not work on Windows.  I then changed the colon to a
semicolon.  That works on Windows but not on Linux.

There is no discussion of this in the EPICS Application Developer’s Guide.

Thanks,

Mark
