[synapps] Doesn't compile with EPICS 3.15/3.16/7.0

[lerwys]

Problem: Current synapps release provides some old epics-modules that do not compile with newer versions of EPICS base (3.15, 3.16. 7.0).

Solution: Install the epics-modules separately, as it's already done with stream-device and ioc-stats, or release a newer version of synapps (stripping out old/unused modules) by using the script provided here: https://github.com/EPICS-synApps

current master commit (512865e) can compile with base-3.14, base-3.15 with synapps. base-3.16 and base-7.0 still requiring changing synapps modules versions

I don't know if it is the same issue, but I tried to install epics in branch base-3.16 and I got this error:

I ran the script with the following options:

./run-all.sh -e yes -r yes -t yes -s yes -i -o -c

My OS is ubuntu 16.04.

Hi @fernandohds564 ,

Yes, this is the same issue you're having. In my docker build I get the following error for base-3.16:

../devPIE517.cc: In function 'RTN_STATUS PIE517_build_trans(motor_cmnd, double*, motorRecord*)': 
../devPIE517.cc:309:58: error: 'errlogMessage' was not declared in this scope 
errlogMessage("PIE517_build_trans(): buffer overflow.\n");

This is from epics module "motor" and is maybe fixed in version R6-10-1
