Building a module for (P)elegant
Home page and official build instructions
Elgant is a software packages produced by the Accelerator Operations and Physics Group. It requires the EPICS build-system and SDDS. The EPICS build-system is completely based on Makefiles. This makes it a bit harder to compile and more error prone.
Instructions to setup epics/base, epics/extensions and to compile SDDS as
well as elegant can be found
here.
The instructions to build from source are almost at the end of the page.
