Hi, guidance needed in setting up Modbus device server

Hi,

After downloading the devices Modbus class from https://www.tango-controls.org/developers/dsc/ds/318/, i setup the directory structure as in the website. After setting up, i wanted to make a exectuable file called Modbus, but when i entered the makefile, i found a MAKE_ENV variable and the path mentioned was not to be found in my system. Is there anything I am missing.??
MAKE_ENV = /segfs/tango/cppserver/env

Till now i followed all the steps mentioned here:https://tango-controls.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation/tango-on-linux.html#debian-ubuntu
Kindly help me out!
To overcome this problem, I usually recommend to simply regenerate the Makefile (only the Makefile) using POGO to adapt the Makefile to your current Tango installation.
This usually works in 90% of the cases where the Makefile has not been modified too much by the device server programmer.
I recommend to then compare the newly generated version with the previous one and to add the compilation targets and options which might have been added by the device server programmer.
Rosenberg's Law: Software is easy to make, except when you want it to do something new.
Corollary: The only software that's worth making is software that does something new.
Hi, alternatively to Reynald proposition, you may change to:
MAKE_ENV = /usr/share/pogo/preferences

This is the place were the .opt files are located if you have installe https://people.debian.org/~picca/libtango-java_9.2.5a-1_all.deb package.

All the best, Piotr
Thank you Reynald! I was able to solve the issues with the makefile using your method.
Ty Piotr!!
