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/... Cygnus's latest gnu-win32 distribution, available from http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin BUILD INSTRUCTIONS ------------------ 1) Install the cygwin binary release --------------------------------------- 2) Install the epics base distribution -------------------------------------- mkdir chdir cp \.tar.gz . gunzip -d .tar.gz tar xvf .tar chmod +w -R * 3) Set environment variables and path using cygwin32.bat ------------------------------------------------------------- cd \startup edit cygwin32.bat cygwin32 4) Set site specific parms in epics base\config files ----------------------------------------------------- cd \base\config 5) Build epics base ------------------- cd \base make 6) Create an EPICS application area ( needs drive letter) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ mkdir cd perl \bin\cygwin32\makeBaseApp.pl -l perl \bin\cygwin32\makeBaseApp.pl -t example example make
