MCC EDM configuration
By Anthony Cuffe
MCC EDM screens are accessible via command
ssh hlbl00 opsmenu
Here we should use:
EOS Menu -> EDM(OPS)
EDM configuration on this server is located under /cs/opshome/edm

Directory Configuration
Downloaded the EDM version 1-12-37 and unpacked into $EPICS_EXTENSIONS/src The default directory containing EDM is edm, which is soft link to version directory.

Compilation
NOTE: Compilation on linux runs without a problem. But, on both solaris-x86 and solaris-sparc modifications should be done.
Required packages for solaris
- libgif
- download from sourcefourge.net
- libungif
- available at /opt/sfw/{include,lib}
- libcurl
- available at /opt/sfw/{include,lib}
Summary of modifications
- Under Solaris __STDC__ have to be defined in order to use the correct calls to regex functions.
- To have network capability of EDM one should change to USE_CURL=YES in lib/Makefile and add libcurl in the list of libraries to be linked.
- And since libcurl is in /opt/sfw/lib directory, that directory should be added into list of the lookup directories.
- Also the /opt/sfw/include should be added into list of include directories.
- In some of the EDM subdirectories the libCom and libca from $EPICS_BASE/lib/$EPICS_HOST_ARCH should be added.
- In the giflib/Makefile the loopkup directory for libraries of /opt/sfw/lib should be added for libungif
- pvFactory/textupdate.cc has a call to the int finite(double dsrc); function which under solaris requires inclusion of ieeefp.h as opposite to linux which requires math.h and included from other header files. To overcome the predefined macro __SUNPRO_CC was used to identify Sun's compiler.
- For slaclib compilation the shared libraries X11 Xt 114135a4-6f6c-11d3-95bc-00104b8742df cfcaa62e-8199-11d3-a77f-00104b8742df should be added.
NOTE: The detailed summary of changes is in the #Essential diff of original and modified sources
Configuration
Environment and run configuration
- An edm startup tcsh script $EPICS_SCRIPTS/edm script was created based on edm/setup.sh
- It supports generation of architecture depended configuration files in respective subdirectories under edm/setup. The directories edm/setup{linux-x86,solaris-x86,solaris-sparc} are actual configuration directories for respective compiled edm flavours.
- colors.list, fonts.list and calc.list are in the edm/setup directory and links are created from architecture depended directories to them.
- In the clas_epics.adl the command to run edm is:
/bin/tcsh -f $EPICS_SCRIPTS/edm -x monticello.edl
Odd things noticed while was trying to run from medm:
- It is strange but medm calls scripts with same environment but differently.
- tcsh instead of csh is must. At least under solaris, otherwise will not work.
Colour configuration
- The colour configuration used by MCC is backward compatible with MEDM and is different from default more sensible EDM colour configuration.
To have a normal contrast colours we are using colors.list from MCC MCC is changing this file from time to time. Usually, by adding a new colour rules. This restricts us from migrating to EDM, because we will have to have different colour configurations for MCC and Hall-B screens.
To synchronize colour configuration file from MCC server we should use ssh or rsync.

adl2edl
The adl2edl is downloaded from the same place as edm.
Installed under $EPICS_EXTENSIONS/src
By default adl2edl didn't have a architecture depended build. I've modified it, now it supports current EPICS build rules.
EDM was configured via
setenv EDMFILTERS $EDM/setup/$EPICS_HOST_ARCH
edmFilters files are linked to $EDM/setup/edmFilters and contains line for converting adl files of MEDM
.adl adl2edl %f
Conversion of Hall-B MEDM screens to EDM ones
Here are 2 options:
- Convert once all medm screens and start using edm only.
- Use edmFilters feature to convert adl files on-the-fly.
