Using a Different Mount Point

If you don't want to use the default mount point '/afs/slac/package/rtems/4.6.2' here's what you can do to change it. Note that this is not recommended as there might be other dependencies I'm not aware of. Use this information at your own risk.

Non-EPICS Applications

• Point your RTEMS_MAKEFILE_PATH environment variable to

  <mnt_dir>/target/ssrlApps/config

• Override the setting in the makefiles by setting RTEMS_TOP. Using an environment variable might not work and you need to set it either on the command line or at an appropriate location in your Makefile.

  make RTEMS_TOP=<mnt_dir> ...

EPICS Applications

• RTEMS_MAKEFILE_PATH is hardcoded into the EPICS configuration files. To override it, you need to edit 'configure/RELEASE' in your application area. E.g., if you used 'makeBaseApp.pl' to create an application area, you would add these two lines at the top of 'configure/RELEASE'

  RTEMS_TOP=<mnt_dir>
override RTEMS_MAKEFILE_PATH=<mnt_dir>/target/ssrlApps/config

  Don't forget to 'make clean' after making modifications in the 'configure' subdirectory.

• The EPICS host tools and channel access client applications will not be able to find the necessary libraries. Therefore, you must either use '/etc/ld.so.config' and 'ldconfig' or set the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH:

  setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH <mnt_dir>/epics-3.14.6/base/lib/linux-x86
