pvaDataCPP
==========
pvDataCPP is a set of data types and utilities that form part of the EPICS V4 project.
Further Info
------------
Consult the documents in the documentation directory, in particular
* pvDataCPP.html
* RELEASE_NOTES.md
Also see the [EPICS Version 4 website](http://epics-pvdata.sourceforge.net)
Prerequisites
-------------
The pvDataCPP requires recent versions of the following software:
1. EPICS Base (v3.14.12.3 or later)
2. EPICS4 pvCommonCPP (4.1.0 or later)
(pvCommonCPP may not be needed depending on host/compiler.)
Building
--------
Building uses the make utility and the EPICS base build system.
The build system needs the location of the prerequisites, e.g. by placing the
lines of the form
PVCOMMON = /home/install/epicsV4/pvCommonCPP
EPICS_BASE = /home/install/epics/base
pointing to the locations in a file called RELEASE.local
in the configure directory or the parent directory of pvDataCPP.
With this in place, to build type make
make
To perform a clean build type
make clean uninstall
To run the unit tests type
make runtests
For more information on the EPICS build system consult the
[Application Development guide](http://www.aps.anl.gov/epics/base/R3-14/12-docs/AppDevGuide.pdf).
