Special Notes on Linux
|
|
1) The epics makefiles use GNU make which is the make that comes
|
|
with Linux. You need to make a link from make to gnumake and
|
|
have it in your path. After you have defined the EPICS environement
|
|
variable, you can use:
|
|
|
|
ln -s /usr/bin/make $EPICS/base/tools/gnumake
|
|
|
|
2) At this point, support for Linux only involves channel access
|
|
clients. Since Vxworks is not available for Linux, you must
|
|
use other platforms for developing server side code. As for
|
|
building databases with dct and gdct, this requires that the
|
|
$EPICS/base/tools/makesdr script works properly. Since makesdr
|
|
is slated to be removed from the EPICS distribution in a future
|
|
release, we didn't feel it was important to include this capability
|
|
now. Consequently, when you run make you will receive the error
|
|
|
|
gnumake[4]: *** [bldDefaultSdr] Error 127
|
|
|
|
and
|
|
|
|
gnumake[3]: *** [comsubs.o] Error 1
|
|
|
|
3) You MUST start caRepeater by hand before running a client.
|
|
Prior to running a client, you must run:
|
|
|
|
caRepeater &
