<h1 style="text-align: center">EPICS Base R3.15.3: Known Problems</h1>
<p>Any patch files linked below should be applied at the root of the
base-3.15.3 tree. Download them, then use the GNU Patch program as
follows:</p>
<blockquote><pre>% <b>cd <i>/path/to/</i>base-3.15.3</b>
% <b>patch -p0 &lt; <i>/path/to/</i>file.patch</b></pre></blockquote>
<p>The following significant problems have been reported with this
version of EPICS Base:</p>
<ul>
<li>Parallel builds ("make -j") on native Windows are not working properly.
Builds tend to hang (saturating one core); interrupting and running make
again usually finishes the build. Limiting the number of parallel jobs using
something like "make -j8" also helps prevent this problem. Sequential builds
always work and are recommended for automated build environments.</li>
<li>64-bit Windows builds of the CAS library may not work with some compilers.
The code in <tt>src/legacy/gdd</tt> is currently incompatible with the LLP64
model that Windows uses for its 64-bit ABI.</li>
</ul>
