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

1. Under Solaris __STDC__ have to be defined in order to use the correct calls to regex functions.
   1. 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.
   2. And since libcurl is in /opt/sfw/lib directory, that directory should be added into list of the lookup directories.
   3. Also the /opt/sfw/include should be added into list of include directories.
2. In some of the EDM subdirectories the libCom and libca from $EPICS_BASE/lib/$EPICS_HOST_ARCH should be added.
3. In the giflib/Makefile the loopkup directory for libraries of /opt/sfw/lib should be added for libungif
4. 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.
5. For slaclib compilation the shared libraries X11 Xt 114135a4-6f6c-11d3-95bc-00104b8742df cfcaa62e-8199-11d3-a77f-00104b8742df should be added.

Configuration

• A 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 ru from medm:

1. It is strange but medm calls scripts with same environment but differently.
2. tcsh instead of csh is must. At least under solaris, otherwise will not work.
