 ssh clonioc1/clonpc3

I) BASE INSTALLATION:

 1) cd $CLAS/R3.14.12.3/
    chown -R sytnik.clas-4 base

 2) edit $CLAS/R3.14.12.3/base/configure/os/CONFIG_SITE.Common.vxWorksCommon

   replace:
   #WIND_BASE = /usr/local/vw/tornado22-$(ARCH_CLASS)
   by:
   WIND_BASE = /apps/VxWorks55/ppc

 3) edit $CLAS/R3.14.12.3/base/configure/CONFIG_SITE

    CROSS_COMPILER_TARGET_ARCHS=vxWorks-ppc604_long

    cd $CLAS/R3.14.12.3/base/
    
    
 4)  edit $CLAS/R3.14.12.3/base/configure/os/CONFIG_SITE.Common.linux-x86

   to uncomment the line: 

  COMMANDLINE_LIBRARY  = READLINE_NCURSES

  (comment out other lines other lines: COMMANDLINE_LIBRARY ) 

 5) make // to generate package structure: include, db, dbd, bin. lib, ...

 6)
    cd $CLAS/R3.14.12.3/base/
    cp previous_base/include/bigsubRecord.h include/.
    cp previous_base/src/rec/bigsubRecord.c src/rec/.
    cp previous_base/src/rec/bigsubRecord.dbd src/rec/.
    cp previous_base/src/rec/a_out.h src/rec/.

    edit src/rec/Makefile

    to add

    DBDINC += bigsubRecord

    LIBSRCS += bigsubRecord.c    
    
  7) for wiener mpod
  
     edit $CLAS/R3.14.12.3/base/src/dbStatic/dbStaticLib.c
     to replace          char        string[80];
     by        string[256]; 
    
  8)       
    make clean uninstall
    make  (to build for linux and VxWorks)  
    
II) synApps installation:

  ssh clonioc1/clonpc3

   http://www.aps.anl.gov/bcda/synApps/
   take and untar synApps_5_5.tar.gz
   cd synApps_5_5/support
   edit suppurt/configure/RELEASE
   
   SUPPORT=$(CLAS)/R3.14.12.3/synApps/synApps_5_5/support/
   EPICS_BASE=$(CLAS)/R3.14.12.3/base
   
   edit $CLAS/R3.14.12.3/synApps/synApps_5_5/support/configure/CONFIG_SITE
   
   CROSS_COMPILER_TARGET_ARCHS=vxWorks-ppc604_long

   cd $CLAS/R3.14.12.3/synApps/synApps_5_5/support
   make release
   make (to build linux and VxWorks)

to configure and start cron job:

Following - from home directory !!!

to kill ioc and lock semaphore so cronjob will NOT restart it:

to start ioc and open semaphore so cronjob can continue monitoring; also can be used to restart ioc (without using 'cioc_cron 0'):

launch of old CAEN:

General rules

Normally EPICS driver or/and apps will have configure directory, containing several files to be adjusted. File RELEASE usually contains following:

EPICS_BASE=${CLAS}/R${EPICS_VER}/base
TEMPLATE_TOP=$(EPICS_BASE)/templates/makeBaseApp/top

Note that UNIX environment variables must be in {} brackets. If vxWorks cross compiling is needed, file CONFIG_SITE must contains line:

CROSS_COMPILER_TARGET_ARCHS = vxWorks-ppc604_long

After all changes, type make rebuild inside configure directory. Go one level up and type make rebuild again, it will do actual compiling.
