Developer Server Build

It is possible to use one of the checkout from a build server as the basis of your local build.

EPICS

The EPICS clean Windows 10 build workspace is copied to \\isis\inst$\Kits$\CompGroup\ICP\developer\EPICS - this contains much more than a distribution e.g. it has all the local .git submodules and temporary build files. It can be used as the basis for work on your local computer.

CAUTION: updating an existing C:\Instrument\Apps\EPICS is the equivalent of deleting the directory, a full new checkout and then a build. You will lose all changes to files and also any local git branches you created. Any changes you want to keep you must push to guthub and then re-checkout the branch after the update. Stashing changes is not enough as the local git repos are replaced - you need to push remotely.

After running this command, you should have a compiled and ready to use distribution

robocopy \\isis\inst$\Kits$\CompGroup\ICP\developer\EPICS c:\Instrument\Apps\EPICS -MIR -NFL -NDL -NP -R:1

If you wanted to temporarily use an updated distribution for e.g. a review then you can:

• rename current c:\Instrument\Apps\EPICS to c:\Instrument\Apps\EPICS-keep
• run above robocopy command to create a new c:\Instrument\Apps\EPICS
• checkout branches for review, run make in these directories
• when done delete c:\Instrument\Apps\EPICS and rename EPICS-keep back to EPICS
