# PCAS - Portable Channel Access Server
|
|
|
|
[EPICS](https://epics-controls.org/) Portable Channel Access Server
|
|
and Generic Data Descriptor C++ libraries, split off from
|
|
[EPICS Base 3.16.1](https://epics-controls.org/resources-and-support/base/series-3-16/3-16-1/)
|
|
as a separate module for
|
|
[EPICS 7](https://epics-controls.org/resources-and-support/base/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/
|
|
|
