Dave (and Michael et al.): By now you've probably already built it yourself but... 32-bit: I had no trouble building simulator versions from master (pulled after Michael made his adjustments to satisfy the BuildBots) on 32-bit Ubuntu 10.04LTS with either the LiveCD's kernel (2.6.32-122-rtai) or a non-RTAI kernel (2.6.32-42-generic-pae). This was running on an ASUS AT5NM10-I motherboard (thumbnail sketch of same is in the latency test results on the Wiki). - The build succeeded with no more than the usual warnings. I did notice an increase in message traffic due to redis. - Michaels userspace parport seems to be working (at least the demo signal.hal does what it claims to do_ but I haven't yet pushed any pulses out to a drive. - the LinuxCNC simulator seems to be working. (and I notice the redis server is starting.) 64-bit: I just built a simulator from master (pulled early today) on 64-bit Debian Wheezy running on this same motherboard. The kernel is 3.2.0-3-amd64. No RTAI, no PREEMPT_RT. - same measure of success with the build. - same measure of success with Michael's userspace parport. - However, the LinuxCNC simulator fails to start sim/axis_mm. It hangs after emitting the following console messages ---snip--- LINUXCNC - 2.6.0~pre Machine configuration directory is '/home/kreed/linuxcnc-master-sim/configs/sim/axis' Machine configuration file is 'axis_mm.ini' Starting LinuxCNC... redis server started as: 'redis-server', logging to: /dev/null io started halcmd loadusr io started task pid=3569 emcTaskInit: using builtin interpreter ---snip--- It shuts down cleanly if I fire a ctrl-c into it. I expect I'll see the error of my ways in the morning with the aid of some coffee and sunshine. Why Debian Wheezy? Because I'm also setting up to play on this motherboard with the PREEMPT_RT work of Charles Steinkuehler, et al. Earlier in the week I successfully built LinuxCNC on a Debian Wheezy with the 32-bit 686-rt kernel following Charles' Wiki HowTo, but I'm now converting it over to the 64-bit kernel.
