Not really, a lot of this code is 20 years old, and was transferred from CVS to git, losing the commit history prior to that. Using the Github "blame" view I can see that the @GREP@ path is more recent: https://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/commit/d0dd07796517844a2f8a562589d51b413036cb23 But that basically just says that he did it to be consistent. To be honest, cross-platform compatibility has hitherto not been very high on the priority list, as most of our users are CNC enthusiasts, not Linux enthusiasts, and they just install Debian from our ISO image and start configuring their CNC system. I don't know enough about Yocto to know what the differences are, but I wonder if an alternative ./configure script for Yocto would be a workaround? -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1912 _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list Emc-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
