I'm not a maintainer of this repository. I just want to mention that if you want to install epics-base on OSX, I'd recommend using conda. I updated the epics-base feedtstock on conda-forge last week: conda-forge/epics-base-feedstock#6 |

@beenje Thanks for the tip. I am sad to say though that I have been tasked with sorting out a runtime bug in an EPICS driver which means running it under a debugger. The instructions for building the driver is to do so using e3 hence the current predicament. |

I'd then really recommend that you try debugging that under Linux. You can do that in the Development Machine. |
|
The problem is that I'm quite sure that there are many other things to fix to make E3 work on OSX. Compiling e3-base should be easy. But compiling modules using require driver.makefile is probably not trivial. |
This minor fix makes it possible to compile e3-base under MacOSX and should have no (as far as I can tell) negative effects when building under Linux.
