Required Modules
Autosave does not require any other modules.
Installation and Building
After obtaining a copy of the distribution, it must be installed and built for use at your site. These steps only need to be performed once for the site (unless versions of the module running under different releases of EPICS and/or the other required modules are needed).
- Unzip and untar the distribution, e.g. on Unix:
gunzip autosave_R4-2.tar.gz<br></br> tar xvf autosave_R4-2.tarUsually this is done in an EPICS ‘support’ directory. It will produce the subdirectory
autosave_R4-2 - Edit the config/RELEASE file of the application that will use autosave to point to this directory.
- Edit autosave’s configure/RELEASE file and set the paths to your installation of EPICS base.
- Run gnumake in the top level directory and check for any compilation errors.
- Please email Tim Mooney so that a record can be kept of which sites are using this software.
