Just a note to say that, so far, using Michael's various kernels and his git server, I've built LinuxCNC 2.5.1 on my AMD quad-core machine running Ubuntu 10.04LTS and three of his thread scenarios (xenomai-kernel, rt-preempt-user, rtai) without any problems. My thanks and a tip of the hat to Michael. I've also built with the xenomai-kernel thread scenario on a dual-core Atom netbook running Linux Mint 13. This build required making the change to the pow-function definition labelled in Michael's work as required for Ubuntu Precise. FYI, Mint 13 installs gcc 4.6.3 and binutils 2.22. I believe the problem with pow lies not so much with gcc but gcc and ld together, but I've not been able to tease a solution out of the GSF readmes. Of course, the netbook sucks, but that's the color of a different horse. I used it because it was there. I'm going to drop back to a simulator on the netbook so I can play while sitting in waiting rooms. As for my old single-core Pentium 4 box, I'm having problems unrelated to this work specifically. Somehow, the new kernels are screwing up my Xserver---the screen is blank. I can ssh into the box so with time and elbow grease I'm sure I can fix it.
