I'm still trying to upgrade my MIDAS system to midas-2019-09-i. Most frontends work fine with the modifications already discussed.
However, I ran into some trouble with the epics frontend. Even with the modifications it throws a lot of warnings and errors (see attached log file). I can reduce the errors with -fpermissive, but the following two errors are persistent:

/home/ays/packages/midas/drivers/device/epics_ca.cxx:167:38: error: ‘ca_create_channel’ was not declared in this scope
            , &(info->caid[i].chan_id))

/home/ays/packages/midas/drivers/device/epics_ca.cxx:178:37: error: ‘ca_create_subscription’ was not declared in this scope
            , &(info->caid[i].evt_id))

This is strange because the functions seem to be declared in base/include/cadef.h along with similar functions that don't throw an error.
I don't know what's going on. The frontend which is almost identical to the example in the midas distribution compiles without warnings or errors under the Midas2017 version.
