Requirements

EPICS base must be installed and EPICS environment variables must be defined. Look at Installing_EPCIS_base.

Downloading the software

svn co https://halldsvn.jlab.org/repos/trunk/controls/epics

Setting up the environment

If you sourced environment of EPICS base, then you'll need to do something like this:

# A script to change the EPICS build area location to a local for a user directory
# This is needed if a user not hdsys wants to have his own development area and not 
# to interfere with the official Hall D EPICS build.

# Define the root directory where the drivers and applications will be build 
#       setenv EPICS_BUILD ~/epics/R3-14-12-3
        setenv EPICS_BUILD ~/controls/epics

# Set CA server port to be different from standart 5064. The CA client port will not change 
# because of this command 
#       setenv EPICS_CAS_SERVER_PORT 6064

# Set where the drivers and applications are checked-out and build using EPICS_BUILD variable
# this is important for someone compiling drivers and compiling and running applications
        setenv APP      ${EPICS_BUILD}/app 
        setenv DRIVERS  ${EPICS_BUILD}/drivers 

# Set the default SNMP MIB-file directory and the MIB-file list 
        setenv MIBDIRS "${DRIVERS}/mibs:/usr/share/snmp/mibs/"
        setenv MIBS    "ALL"

# Put the bin directories into the PATH and lib directories into the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variables
        setenv PATH "${APP}/bin/${EPICS_HOST_ARCH}:${PATH}:${DRIVERS}/bin/${EPICS_HOST_ARCH}:${PATH}:"
        setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH "${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:${APP}/lib/${EPICS_HOST_ARCH}:${DRIVERS}/lib/${EPICS_HOST_ARCH}:"

You will need to redefine EPICS_BUILD to the directory where You had checked out.


I have the following EPICS related environment variables setup up. If something goes wrong You may want to compare what I have.
