So I am ready to attempt a build... But I need to get a few gigs of swap running else it will oom and die while building the rs-274-d interpreter. On x86 stuff, swapon finds and activates all defined swap on all attached drives, but does not on arm's. The blkid output is /dev/sda2: UUID="464d1832-531f-47fc-8824-95888252f5db" TYPE="swap" PARTUUID="000ba889-02" Pain in the butt, had to add the whole UUID to fstab and then use swapon -a but now I've 10gigs of swap, and debbuild has been running for about 30 minutes with no major complaints. We'll see when it gets to the interpreter if its writing checks its ass can't cover. The compiler complains, but keeps on going so far. This code is full of stuff redefined warnings. Cleaning it up would be nice, but for me, more than a lifetime job. LOL. One thing is bothering me though, I've seen no attempts to build rpspi.ko go by, and that must surely mean it has used an ethernet card for its interface. Since the rpi's only have one port, that obviously places a very high bandwidth, making an external network connection only useable when linuxcnc is not running. That will cramp my work style for sure. I wonder if an ethernet dongle plugged into a usb3 port might work? In any event such a development, is an expensive development, running the cost up around $200. That will make the rpi4 a LOT less appetizing since I've already around $200 in a 7i90 & a triplet of 7i42TA's. And I think I just wasted 2 hours, building it as root. Stupid old man. I forgot I was sudo -i because of all the apt stuff up front. And its all done, without building rpspi.ko, so to me its worthless. The src code is in the git pull, why wasn't it built? Long weekend to piddle with it though. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
