I don't mind building LinuxCNC RTAI packages but the problem is actually a license problem. LinuxCNC keeps complaining after the ./configure about how it's a non-distributable build, but that flag has to be set due to the readline GPL-v2/LGPL starting with Debian Bullseye, otherwise the configure will fail.
Building RTAI kernel debs for LinuxCNC is easy, it's literally download source, patch, make -j`nproc` bindeb-pkg and voila. https://www.mail-archive.com/emc-developers@lists.sourceforge.net/msg23329.html Curious, how are you guys legally hosting LinuxCNC Debian packages for Bullseye or Bookworm? I'm going to be working with Paolo on getting RTAI and PREEMPT_RT on the same kernel, I have 99.9% of the code done (all the kernel code itself is done) but I'm stuck on literally one line of C in the RTAI mailbox driver. You could theoretically even patch LinuxCNC to let you choose at runtime or in the settings somewhere what you want, RTAI or PREEMPT_RT, cutting the need for two different LinuxCNC packages. Just a thought. Alec _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list Emc-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
