Sorry, something went wrong.
The Makefile in GalilSup/src has this line:
That builds libGalilSupport.a and libGalilSupport.so in the top-level lib/linux-x86_64 directory. I just pulled and built synApps on an Ubuntu 22 system using the script and galil and xxx both built and were linked fine.

What is requiring root access here? The point of line 585 is that 'make install' will install everything into its own directory. I just ran the script on Ubuntu 22 and there were no root requirements.

When running this in a fresh system with a regular unprivileged user, it tries to install udev rules and modifying ld.so.cache.
Here, this first example is from the Github Action runner:
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/runner/work/EPICS-synApps-assemble/EPICS-synApps-assemble/synapps/support/measComp-R4-2/libuldaq-1.2.1'
/usr/bin/install: cannot create regular file '/lib/udev/rules.d/50-uldaq.rules': Permission denied
make[2]: *** [Makefile:484: install-dist_rulesdataDATA] Error 1
make[1]: *** [Makefile:814: install-am] Error 2
make: *** [Makefile:511: install-recursive] Error 1
This happens after the permissions to udev are fixed:
make[2]: Leaving directory '/epics/synapps/support/measComp-R4-2/libuldaq-1.2.1/examples'
make[2]: Entering directory '/epics/synapps/support/measComp-R4-2/libuldaq-1.2.1'

To be sure, I removed sudo in my main branch and let it build as Github Action, the logs should be accessible for this job: https://github.com/BAMresearch/EPICS-synApps-assemble/actions/runs/8023437425/job/21919899065

Galil V3-6 does not build on Windows machines, which is why 3-5 is the default. Individual modules can be adjusted for your specifications by using the --set flag.

Thanks for pointing that out. I am fine with the option, of course.

The Galil driver V3-6 and R3-6-85 have been patched to fix the build issue on Windows. The Galil repository name has changed recently and tag R3-6-85 was created to align the Galil repo structure to other synApps modules. I cloned this assemble_synApps repo and altered the assemble_synApps script for the Galil repo changes (see attached). After the assemble_synApps script completed successfully, I built the software by running "make" in the support folder. The software built successfully on CentOS stream 9, Windows 10 using visual studio 2019 & 2022.

If the Galil driver isn't required, it can be commented out in configure/RELEASE.

Thanks a lot for the update on that!
This does not seem to build here. In the Github Action I let it find all files in the Galil-* tree afterwards The missing files might be caused by my changes in this PR, especially 987cd35. a) Without my changes,

Thanks @motorapp! Works for me as well :) I added your changes to this pull request. They build fine in my main branch. Thanks a lot for the adjustments and testing! |
