IPAC Installation

These instructions apply when building IOC applications against EPICS Base version 3.14.1 through 3.14.5, with IPAC versions 2.5. For use with other versions of Base see here (3.14.6 onward), here (3.13.2 - 3.13.10) or here (3.13.0 - 3.13.1).

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

   IPAC=/path/to/ipac/version

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

   <myapp>_LDOBJS_vxWorks += $(IPAC_BIN)/ipacLib    # for drvIpac,
   <myapp>_LDOBJS_vxWorks += $(IPAC_BIN)/tip810Lib  # for CANbus support
   <myapp>_OBJS_vxWorks   += $(IPAC_BIN)/tyGSOctal  # for Octal Serial

3. Ensure one of the following lines is included in the application's database definition file xxxInclude.dbd.

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

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