Schooner I think that I pushed a wrong buttons while posting and messed things up a bit. I got a new computer and build a new configuration since I think the old machine may have gotten corrupted while attempting to solve issues. I will rebuild it later. Machine kit loadsrand runs now but I'm confused on how machinekit handles Mesa bit files. I have read that they need to be placed in a folder somewhere as a txt file which confuses me more since a bit file that is loaded into a Mesa FPGA board is not a text file.
Here are the steps I used to install this new installation using Debian 9.4.0 stretch. # Desktop computer with run in place $ installed Debian 9.4.0 amd64 stretch cd1 free only version $ su usermod -a -G sudo "my user name" $ sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv 43DDF224 $ sudo sh -c "echo 'deb http://deb.machinekit.io/debian stretch main' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/machinekit.list $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install linux-image-rt-amd64 $ reboot $ cd /home $ git clone https://github.com/machinekit/machinekit.git machinekit-dev =============================== # in machinekit-dev folder $ debian/configure -r $ sudo mk-build-deps -ir # say yes to install depends $ sudo apt-get install dirmngr $ sudo apt-get install git dpkg-dev $ sudo apt-get install devscripts $ sudo apt-get install python-avahi $ sudo apt-get install python-dbus python-dbus-dev python-dbus-dbg # some in the above line may not be required $ sudo apt-get install python-glade2 python-gtkglext1 python-gtksourceview2 $ sudo apt-get install python-vte $ sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends devscripts equivs $ sudo apt-get install memlockd # may not be required # the above line may not be required $ cd src $ ./autogen.sh $ ./configure --with-rt-preempt --enable-build-documentation $ make clean (only if needed to completely make fresh version) $ make $ sudo make setuid $ ../scripts/check-system-configuration.sh $ sudo cp rtapi/rsyslogd-linuxcnc.conf /etc/rsyslog.d/linuxcnc.conf $ sudo service rsyslog restart $ sudo cp rtapi/shmdrv/limits.d-machinekit.conf /etc/security/limits.d/machinekit.conf $ sudo touch /var/log/linuxcnc.log $ sudo service rsyslog restart $ cd .. $ . ./scripts/rip-environment $ export DEBUG=5 $ machinekit /home/cnc/machinekit-dev/configs/cnc1/cnc1.ini # gmoccapy gui comes up ok but its version is too old to be usefull ================================ -- website: http://www.machinekit.io blog: http://blog.machinekit.io github: https://github.com/machinekit --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Machinekit" group.
