# PCAS - Portable Channel Access Server
|
|
|
|
Portable Channel Access Server and Generic Data Descriptor C++ libraries,
|
|
split off [EPICS Base 3.16.1](http://www.aps.anl.gov/epics/base/R3-16/1.php)
|
|
as a separate module for EPICS 7.
|
|
|
|
The repository keeps the complete history of the code, i.e. it is a clone
|
|
of the EPICS Base repository, which explains its size.
|
|
|
|
## Building
|
|
|
|
This is a standard EPICS module. Create a file `RELEASE.local` (either inside
|
|
the configure directory or one directory level above the module's root) that
|
|
sets `EPICS_BASE` to where your EPICS installation is located.
|
|
|
|
*Note:* This module is intended to be compiled against EPICS 7.
|
|
To build the module against an existing older Base < 3.17, you have to
|
|
manually export the CA client library header file `net_convert.h`:
|
|
|
|
cp <EPICS_BASE>/src/ca/client/net_convert.h <EPICS_BASE>/include/
|
|
|
