<h1 style="text-align: center">EPICS Base R3.14.10: Known Problems</h1>
<ul>
<li>Parallel make (<tt>make -j</tt>) does not work on cygwin-x86 targets,
probably due to a missing dependency in the EPICS build rules.</li>
<li>Some older Perl versions do not properly install the xsubpp program. This
will prevent the build in src/cap5 from completing &mdash; the build will
finish with an error like this:
<blockquote><pre>/bin/sh: /bin/xsubpp: not found
make[3]: *** [Cap5.c] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/phoebus3/ANJ/epics/base/3-14-dev/src/cap5/O.solaris-x86'
make[2]: *** [install.solaris-x86] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/phoebus3/ANJ/epics/base/3-14-dev/src/cap5'
make[1]: *** [cap5.install] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/phoebus3/ANJ/epics/base/3-14-dev/src'
make: *** [src.install] Error 2</pre></blockquote>
As long as you don't intend to use the Perl5 CA interface this error is
harmless, as cap5 is the last directory to be compiled in Base. If you need
the Perl5 CA inteface, fix your Perl installation so that the perl binary
and the xsubpp program (or soft links to them) are both found in the same
directory.</li>
