<h1>
|
||||
EPICS Release base 3.14.0alpha2</h1>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>
|
||||
Build changes</h3>
|
||||
Build changes were made to base/configure files and base/src Makefiles
|
||||
to make all os independant build created files created in an O.Common subdirectory
|
||||
and then installed instead of created directly in an install directory.Build
|
||||
definition names (e.g. RECTYPES, MENUS, DBDNAME, and BPTS) have been changed
|
||||
to specify names of the files to be created and installed instead of the
|
||||
source file names. All db and dbd related definitions and rules have been
|
||||
moved into base/configure/RULES.Db file and the rules now allow multiple
|
||||
dbd files and registerRecordDeviceDriver files to be created in a single
|
||||
application Makefile. Also "gnumake depends" no longer depends on a complete
|
||||
buildInstall.
|
||||
<h3>
|
||||
Converting alpha1 applications to alpha2</h3>
|
||||
Build modifications in alpha2 require the following changes to existing
|
||||
R3.14 applications.
|
||||
EPICS Release base 3.14.0alpha1</h1>
|
||||
This is the first release of 3.14. This is the first release that supports
|
||||
iocCore on platforms besides vxWorks.
|
||||
<p>iocCore is now supported on the following platforms:
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Remove the now unused RULES files</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<br>./configure/RULES.Db
|
||||
<br>./configure/RULES.registerRecordDeviceDriver
|
||||
<br> </ul>
|
||||
vxWorks</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<br>Tornado II is required.
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Delete the following line in ./configure/RULES</li>
|
||||
RTEMS</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<br>include $(TOP)/configure/RULES.registerRecordDeviceDriver</ul>
|
||||
<br>An open source real time operating system. It has been tested on MVME167
|
||||
and MC68360 processors. RTEMS also supports powerPC.
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
solaris</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<br>Has been tested on solaris 2.6 and solaris 8.
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Linux</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<br>Has been tested on Redhat x86 platforms.
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
winNT</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
A new version of the Application Developers Guide is available. The following
|
||||
gives links to the new Application Developer's Guide and to RTEMS information.
|
||||
<p>http://www.aps.anl.gov/epics/modules/base/R3-14.php
|
||||
<p>Most of the Application Developer's Guide has only minor changes. The
|
||||
following are new.
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
In <top>/configure/Makefile please change</li>

|
||||

|
||||
<ul>@$(PERL) $(TOOLS)/makeConfigAppInclude.pl $(EPICS_HOST_ARCH) $(T_A)
|
||||
$@ $(TOP)
|
||||
<br> </ul>
|
||||
and add the line
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<br>depends: install
|
||||
<br> </ul>
|
||||
to the bottom of the Makefile.
|
||||
<ul> </ul>
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Chapter 4 describes the build facility for 3.14</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
Chapters 19 and 20 describe libCom, which was not previously documented.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><br>It must be emphasized that this is an alpha release.

make these same changes in that *Db dirctory.

<ul>example_SRCS_DEFAULT += <name>_registerRecordDeviceDriver.cpp
|
||||
<br> </ul>
|
||||
where <name> is the base name of a <name>.dbd file which was created
|
||||
from a <name>Include.dbd file and which will be loaded in a st.cmd or
|
||||
stcmd.host script (e.g. example).
|

<li>
|

||||
Facility) of the Application Developer's Guide.</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>
|
||||
For existing applications the old config rules are still supported. Some
