<h1>Building EPICS base</h1>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
To build base:
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Set the EPICS_HOST_ARCH environment variable to darwin-ppc.
|
|
The scripts in the
|
|
base/startup directory can automate this. For example, here's part
|
|
of my Bash login script (~/.bash_login):
|
|
<pre>
|
|
#
|
|
# EPICS
|
|
#
|
|
EPICS_BASE="${HOME}/src/EPICS/base"
|
|
EPICS_EXTENSIONS="${HOME}/src/EPICS/extensions"
|
|
<strong>.</strong> "${EPICS_BASE}"/startup/Site.profile
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<code>cd</code> to the EPICS base top-level source directory.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Run <code>make</code>.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
As distributed, EPICS on Mac OS X uses the default command line input
|
|
routines. IOC applications are more pleasant to interact with if
|
|
either the readline or libtecla library is used. The easiest
|
|
way to get either or both of these libraries on to your system is to
|
|
download and install them using the either the DarwinPorts
|
|
distribution or the Fink package manager.
|
|
<p>
|
|
Information on DarwinPorts is available from
|
|
<a href="http://www.opendarwin.org/projects/darwinports/">the DarwinPorts
|
|
project page</a>.
|
|
DarwinPorts binary packages are available from
|
|
<a href="http://packages.opendarwin.org/">here</a>.
|
|
<p>
|
|
Fink may be downloaded from
|
|
<a href="http://fink.sourceforge.net/">the Source Forge</a>.
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
If broadcasts are not seen locally, try adding "localhost" (127.0.0.1)
|
|
to the EPICS_CA_ADDR_LIST.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h1>Building EPICS extensions</h1>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Many extensions build and run properly on OS X. To build and run medm, first
|
|
obtain the X11 run-time and developer packages from Apple and the OpenMotif3
|
|
package from Fink.
|
|
|
|
<h1>Objective-C and AppleScript</h1>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Code written in Objective-C can be included in host or IOC applications.
|
|
Here are a couple of short Objective-C examples which can be used to send
|
|
AppleScript events to other applications on the OS X machine.
|
|

|
* exampleAppleScriptRecord.m

*
|
|
* Simple Objective-C/AppleScript subroutine record
|
|
*
|
|
* To use this record in an application:
|
|
*
|
|
* 1) Make the following changes to the application Makefile:
|
|
* - Add exampleAppleScriptRecord.m to the application SRCS.
|
|
* - Add -framework Foundation to the application LDFLAGS.
|
|
* 2) Add the following line to the application database description:
|
|
* registrar(registerExampleAppleScript)
|
|
* 3) Add a record to the application database:
|
|
* record(sub,"setVolume")
|
|
* {
|
|
* field(SNAM,"exampleAppleScriptProcess")
|
|
* }
