Thank you :)

Why cut the compile command line used to build this file out of the message? The
compiler command is important because it lets us see what paths are being used
and I think there may be a problem with them.

I cannot duplicate this because I am not sure what the sequence of commands are
you used to get to here. I am sorry if I missed it in a previous post.

The error indicates a set up issue. It normally means the networking software
(rtems-libbsd) has not been installed into a prefix path EPICS looks in.

I doubt there will be anything to search for. You are solving the problem and
creating the first info to be searched. We need to debug the problem.

I am sorry I do not understand what "on the verge of doing the same" means.

Could you please update your blog with the exact command sequences you are using
to build EPICS7 for RTEMS 4.10 and EPICS7 for RTEMS 5 for a PC?

Have you run EPIRC7 for 4.10 in qemu? If so did the network come up and work?

Have you run the rtems-libbsd test executables in qemu?

Thanks
