Dipping my toes in the FPGA pool, there may be more queries after this.
Is the 5i25 supposed to have its GPIO pins mapped in dmesg when hostmot2

(as per http://linuxcnc.org/docs/html/drivers/hostmot2.html#_gpio )
The manual page states that the 5i25 is pre-programmed

Didn't we establish that your chipset does not have the SMI problem?
If you try to load rtai_smi with a chipset which is not on its list, it
will just unload again, so you are wasting your time.
The instructions you found are very old and relate to a Run In Place
installation
Sudo lspci -vv shows my chipset as 82801EB/ER
Your attachments were scrubbed
SMI only affects the original version of 82801EB (82801EB_0)

I am trying to figure out the best way to drive LinuxCNC from a C++

This program would receive general commands from the user, something

If you want to make removal easier, but still install to the system
rather than a RIP
use CheckInstall
You run the install process through it and it makes a .deb of the

so that a dpkg -r packagename can be used to remove them all again

I_think_ that uses a generic button which calls hal_action_open,
