Building base-3.14.{9,10} for darwin-ppcx86 (fat-binary with gcc compiler)

cd base-3.14.{9,10}/

setenv EPICS_HOST_ARCH darwin-ppcx86

Simple test

R3.14.9 or later
make runtests | & tee base-3.14.9-test-darwinppc.txt (R3.14.9 with ppc)
make runtests | & tee base-3.14.9-test-darwinx86.txt (R3.14.9 with x86)
make runtests | & tee base-3.14.10-test-darwinppc.txt (R3.14.10 with ppc)

make runtests | & tee base-3.14.12.5-test-darwinx86.txt (R3.14.12.5 with x86)

R3.14.8 or before
cd bin/$EPICS_HOST_ARCH
set LOG='tee -a logfile.txt'
foreach f (*TestHost epics*Test)
echo |& $LOG
echo ### $f |& $LOG
time ./$f |& $LOG
end
(result for R3.14.5 is here)
(result for R3.14.8 is here)
(result for R3.14.8.2 is here)
(result for R3.14.8.2 with x86 is here)
cd ..

(not too bad.)

IOC application test

cd $EPICS_BASE/.. ; mkdir app ; cd app
$EPICS_BASE/bin/$EPICS_HOST_ARCH/makeBaseApp.pl -t example myapp
$EPICS_BASE/bin/$EPICS_HOST_ARCH/makeBaseApp.pl -i -t example myapp
Using target architecture darwin-ppc (only one available)
make | & tee make-app-darwin.log
cd iocBoot/iocmyapp/
chmod +x st.cmd
./st.cmd
dbl
dbpr {record_name}
(now you can access your records over network via channel access.)

edm

Building edm-1.10.0c with epics-3.14.5 on darwin (obsolete)

(sorry but this is obsolete, please use the latest version, you may also try medm)

cd $EPICS_BASE/..
mkdir -p extensions/src
cd extensions
zcat $ARCHIVE/extensionsConfig_cvs.tar.gz | tar xf -
modify config/RELEASE (for location of epics-base)
cd src

zcat $ARCHIVE/edm-1-10-0c.tgz | tar xf -
cd edm
setenv HOST_ARCH `../../../base-3.14.5/startup/EpicsHostArch.pl`
pushd $EPICS_BASE/bin/$EPICS_HOST_ARCH
ln -s ../../config/tools/makeMakefile.pl .
popd
make | & tee edm-1.10.0c-3.14.5-make-darwin-1.txt

Not yet finished

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