(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
The following target architectures are available in base:
osf-alpha
osf-alpha-gnu
What architecture do you want to use? osf-alpha-gnu
make | & tee make-app-osf.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.)
