  • Create a directory, if it does not already exist,$EPICS_BASE/support/.
  • Go to $EPICS_BASE/support/ and check out the EtherIP source code using mercurial:
hg clone http://epics.hg.sourceforge.net:8000/hgroot/epics/ether_ip
  • This will checkout the latest version of the source in the repository.
  • Alternatively, you can also download a release tar file from sourceforge web site. Uuntar it in $EPICS_BASE/support/ and create a soft link to ether_ip.
  • Edit configure/RELEASE file to contain only this :
EPICS_BASE=/usr/local/epics/base
SHARE=$(EPICS_BASE)/support
ETHER_IP=$(SHARE)/ether_ip
  • In Type make, and the library will be created in $EPICS_BASE/support/ether_ip/lib/$EPICS_HOST_ARCH/ .
