ok -- just now, i tried the following (RIP installed at /home/git/emc))
$ git pull ;# v2.5_branch
$ make clean
$ make
$ source /home/git/emc/scripts/emc-environment
$ emc
# when the EMC2 Configuration Selector is presented,
# select sim/ngcgui (or sim/ngcgui_simp or sim/ngcgui_lathe)
# to run ngcgui tab pages
# worked for me
# With emc still runnning ngcgui.ini, test ngcgui as standalone
# in a separate process:
$ source /home/git/emc/scripts/emc-environment
$ ngcgui --help
Usage:
ngcgui --help | -?
ngcgui [Options] -D nc_files_directory_name
ngcgui [Options] -i emc_inifile_name
ngcgui [Options]
Options:
[-S subroutine_file]
[-p preamble_file]
[-P postamble_file]
[-o output_file]
[-a autosend_file] (autosend to axis default:auto.ngc)
[--noauto] (no autosend to axis)
[--font [big|small|fontspec]] (default: "Helvetica -10 normal")
[--horiz|--vert] (default: --horiz)
[--cwidth comment_width] (width of comment field)
[--vwidth varname_width] (width of varname field)
[--quiet] (fewer comments in outfile)
[--noiframe] (default: frame displays image)
# then run ngcgui as standalone specifying the same ini file
# that is in use for emc:
$ ngcgui -i /home/git/emc/configs/sim/ngcgui.ini
# Subfile button-- select ngcgui_lib, then select xyz.ngc (for example)
# worked in the expected manner for me
# then test standalone specifying nc_files_directory_name explicitly:
$ ngcgui -D /home/git/emc/nc_files/ngcgui_lib
# Subfile button-- select ngcgui_lib, then select gosper.ngc (for example)
# worked for me
# then test standalone specifying a subfile:
$ ngcgui -S /home/git/emc/nc_files/ngcgui_lib/gosper.ngc
# worked for me
#... there are numerous other tests for other options and
# options combinations
# I expect most users will only use withngcgui embedded as axis
# tabs and standalone usage will be less common
Note: to use ngcgui as standalone, the _running_ emc must
be using an ini file with appropriate settings for
[RS274NGC]SUBROUTINE_PATH
[RS274NGC]USER_M_PATH
[DISPLAY]PROGRAM_PREFIX
in order to find subroutines invoked from within subroutines
If there is a problem finding ngcgui_lib with packaged version, I
will probably need more information on the aberrant behavior.
