The image is actually probably Wheezy. So I managed to get a docker image to build machinekit packages for jessie, so I guess that is a plus. This is the resource I used https://github.com/Dovetail-Automata/mk-cross-builder . Yeah, that is what we use in the CI Builder I guess now the best thing to do would be start running jessie, install/upgrade machine with the packages built in the docker container. With a large enough sd card I could install a build enviroment and use that to build hidcomp on ? I would be minded to fix hidcomp on the image you have first, then look at upgrading the image to something else. There are other problems with using Jessie and later kernels that are best left until after this. Trying to build anything natively on the BBB is a major pain, it has the processing power of an 80's Casio watch. (minor exaggeration) That is without the added problem of the Makefile.modinc from the earlier -dev packages previously mentioned. I would cross-build the altered Machinekit repo for Wheezy armhf  and copy the relevant modules across to test them. When that is proved, if it fits nicely with the rest of the repo, it could be included and then you can just install the new Machinekit packages onto whatever platform you are using, but would need to see the code first. I'm not looking to use the LCD portion so that's not a real issue I'm guessing ? I must admit I'm not a "debian guy" Slackware is more my cup of tea. Would I be correct in guessing before I build the binary-debs I should build a source package that I can decompress later and use to build hidcomp against ? I'm really appreciating your time.
