IPAC Installation

These instructions apply when building IOC applications against EPICS Base version 3.13.2 through 3.13.10, with IPAC versions 2.0 through 2.3. For use with other versions of Base, see here (3.13.0 - 3.13.1), here (3.14.1 - 3.14.5) or here (3.14.6 onward).

1. Edit the <ioctop> application's config/RELEASE file and add the line

   IPAC=/path/to/ipac/version

2. In the application source directory where the base object files are linked together, edit Makefile.Vx and add

   LIBOBJS += $(IPAC_BIN)/ipacLib     # for drvIpac, and
   LIBOBJS += $(IPAC_BIN)/tip810Lib   # if you want CANbus support
   LIBOBJS += $(IPAC_BIN)/tyGSOctal.o # for the Octal Serial driver

3. Ensure the following is included in the construction of the application's database definition file

   include "drvIpac.dbd"              # if you only want drvIpac, or
   include "devTip810.dbd"            # if you want CANbus support too

4. Rebuild the application and use the newly installed support as desired.
