I think that the spare time problem is a common ailment. Whatever the case, with more people doing nothing more than watching this thread, sooner or later a light bulb will go on and we'll have our solution. >> The merge of the bitmuster patch with HEAD produces a lot of cruft, >> cleaned up in this patch.

Not a problem, the .gitignore stuff didn't take long to fix. I wouldn't have even cared except that I hope that the more minimal the patch, the less distractions while others help with the current problem, and the more likely the fixed version will someday be accepted into master. ;) Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself. >>> I have also been trying to keep build notes updated on the wiki, which >>> may be helpful: >>> >>>> http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Debian_Wheezy_Linux-Rt_Compile_LinuxCNC > > I like it :), maybe we can add more stuff from the bitmuster-web page, > especially about latency testing and debugging. This is Charles's nice work. I agree we should add more, though the page title makes it look Debian-specific, where my goal is to package LinuxCNC for Fedora. ;) Most of it's not distro-specific anyway, since it describes building the software by hand. > I can debug my other real-time programs graphically with eclipse, maybe > I can can also get it running with rtapi_app. (Of course, real-time is > over when you hit a break-point :) Ooh yeah! Let me know if I can help, and if you get it working, I'd like to try too if you can provide notes. I'm trying many paths with gdb and valgrind, but only hitting walls so far. The breakpoints don't seem to matter much: I still hit those segfaults.
