Readme for R7.0.7

Building base-7.0.7 for darwin-M1 (with clang compiler)

cd base-7.0.7/
set EPICS_BASE=`pwd`
setenv EPICS_HOST_ARCH `startup/EpicsHostArch`
echo $EPICS_HOST_ARCH
darwin-aarch64
make distclean make |& tee base-7.0.7-make-darwina64.txt (for R7.0.7)

Simple test

make runtests |& tee base-7.0.7-test-darwina64.txt (for R7.0.7)

IOC application test

cd $EPICS_BASE/.. ; mkdir app707 ; cd app707
$EPICS_BASE/bin/$EPICS_HOST_ARCH/makeBaseApp.pl -t example myapp
$EPICS_BASE/bin/$EPICS_HOST_ARCH/makeBaseApp.pl -i -t example myapp
Using target architecture darwin-aarch64 (only one available)
The following applications are available:
myapp
What application should the IOC(s) boot?
The default uses the IOC's name, even if not listed above.
Application name?

make | & tee app-7.0.7-make-darwina64.txt
cd iocBoot/iocmyapp/
chmod +x st.cmd
./st.cmd
dbl
dbpr {pv_name}
(now you can access your pvs over network via channel access.)

Please note that I don't use it much yet.
