I just tried and can successfully load the softIoc.dbd file from Base
3.15.5. This is the DBD that has all the includes expanded out for all
the record and device types that come with Base.
In general you should first create your IOC application area (with
makeBaseApp) and configure its configure/RELEASE file, then run make to
create the IOC's DBD file and load that from the $TOP/dbd directory into
VDCT. It will then know about all the record and device types that the
IOC knows about. You shouldn't have to load more than that one DBD file.
Kay's point about new DBD syntax in newer releases is true, VDCT
v2.6.1280 cannot load a softIoc.dbd file from Base-3.16.1 or the
soon-to-be-released Base-7.0.1, so as a community we have some work to
do to update it — any volunteers out there with Java experience please?
