Hi Ana,

I also see this error – I think it is because it is a static build of EPICS and only a shared version of tirpc is installed by cygwin. If you change to using:

  SHARED_LIBRARIES=YES
  STATIC_BUILD=NO

and then "make clean uninstall" and rebuild It should work. If you do need a static EPICS build, then it would need the "-ltirpc" changing to something like  "-Wl,--push-state,-call_shared -ltirpc -Wl,--pop-state" on the link line so Cygwin always looks for the shared DLL version of tirpc even when it is building a static executable

Regards,

Freddie

I completely missed the line about not finding tirpc before! Thanks Andrew :)
But I've already installed tirpc, so not sure what to do next...anyone have thoughts on what's going on?

Thanks,
Ana

Hi Ana,

Unfortunately you didn't include the error message from gcc in your message, we need to see the errors reported immediately above where you started quoting the build output to provide much help with your problem.

Hi all,
I am working on a Windows 7 system and using Cygwin 2.874 and Base 3.15.1 - everything's worked so far but when I try to install Asyn 4-28 the build fails with the following error message:
make[3]: *** [testGpib.exe] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory '/cygdrive/c/Users/admx/epics/modules/asyn4-28/testGpibApp/src/O.cygwin-x86_64'

To get to this point I built base with CONFIG_SITE having the following parameters:
SHARED_LIBRARIES=NO
STATIC_BUILD=YES
as suggested by this post, and made sure all available rpc libraries were installed with the Cygwin package manager (to get rid of an error saying rpc/rpc.h: file or directory not found). Has anyone seen an error message with asyn involving testGpib before, or know what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks,
Ana
