Prerequisites

The pvDataCPP requires recent versions of the following software:

1. EPICS Base (v3.14.12.3 or later)
2. EPICS4 pvCommonCPP (4.1.0 or later)

(pvCommonCPP may not be needed depending on host/compiler.)

Building

Building uses the make utility and the EPICS base build system.

The build system needs the location of the prerequisites, e.g. by placing the lines of the form

PVCOMMON = /home/install/epicsV4/pvCommonCPP
EPICS_BASE = /home/install/epics/base

pointing to the locations in a file called RELEASE.local in the configure directory or the parent directory of pvDataCPP.

With this in place, to build type make

make

To perform a clean build type

make clean uninstall

To run the unit tests type

make runtests
