Build error: conflicting definitions of MOTOR variable in configure/RELEASE

[hellmig]

Hi,

I am having problems to build the IOC due to a conflict in the configure/RELEASE file. I am quite new to the implementation of IOCs, so I would appreciate any hint or comment to resolve the issue.

EPICS base is installed in /home/mhellm/work/epics/base und the motor record is installed with Synapps in /home/mhellm/work/epics/modules/synApps/support/motor-R6-10-1.

Console output of the build process can be found below.

Thanks in advance, best wishes, Michael

MOTOR in the RELEASE file should point to the version of the motor module you want to use. In your case motorVMC's configure/RELEASE should define motor this way:

MOTOR=/home/mhellm/work/epics/modules/synApps/support/motor-R6-10-1

Can this issue be closed?

Hi Kevin,

sorry for the late reply: I was able to solve the issue by reinstalling synApps R6_0 directly in the main EPICS directory.

Thanks for your help.
