Software requirements
GNU make
You must use GNU make, gnumake, for any EPICS builds. Set your path so
that a gnumake version 3.81 or later is available.

4.10. The newer 4.11 or 5.x releases are not supported yet.
GNU readline or Tecla library
GNU readline and Tecla libraries can be used by the IOC shell to provide
command line editing and command line history recall and edit. GNU
readline (or Tecla library) must be installed on your target system when
COMMANDLINE_LIBRARY is set to READLINE (or TECLA) for that target. EPICS
(EPICS shell) is the default specified in CONFIG_COMMON. A READLINE
override is defined for linux-x86 in the EPICS distribution. Comment out
COMMANDLINE_LIBRARY=READLINE in
configure/os/CONFIG_SITE.Common.linux-x86 if readline is not installed
on linux-x86. Command-line editing and history will then be those
supplied by the os. On vxWorks the ledLib command-line input library is
used instead.
Command-line editing libraries
GNU readline or other OS-specific libraries can be used by the IOC shell
to provide command line editing and history recall. The default setting
is different for each OS. On Linux the default is to use READLINE since
most distributions include it. On MacOS the default is also READLINE
since Apple provides a compatible library, although it isn't GNU. On
RTEMS we support GNU readline and Tecla, although the default is to use
neither since these have to be added to the RTEMS installation
separately. On vxWorks we support the built-in ledLib library.
