Compiling EPICS on cygwin32 (Windows95/NT) ------------------------------------------ Right now this port of EPICS base to cygwin32 R1.3.3 fails because cygwin does not yet support point-to-point interfaces. To build EPICS on Win95 or NT using cygwin32, we need EPICS base distribution, R3.12.0.beta12 or later, available from http://aps.anl.gov/... The latest cygwin distribution, available from http://www.cygwin.com BUILD INSTRUCTIONS ------------------ 1) Install the cygwin binary release ------------------------------------ 2) Install the epics base distribution -------------------------------------- cp \.tar.gz . gunzip -d .tar.gz tar xvf .tar chmod +w -R * cd 3) Set environment variables and path using cygwin32.bat ------------------------------------------------------------- /startup/cygwin32.bat changing paths if necessary> cd \startup edit cygwin32.bat cygwin 4) Set site specific parms in epics config files ------------------------------------------------ cd \config 5) Build epics base ------------------- cd make 6) Create an example EPICS application ( needs drive letter) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- mkdir cd perl \bin\cygwin32\makeBaseApp.pl -l perl \bin\cygwin32\makeBaseApp.pl -t example example make
