Maybe also install all the EMC build dependencies (though I don't think it's necessary): sudo apt-get build-dep emc2 Then write some C or comp code (man comp for more info, also you can look at all the comps in the emc source after `apt-get source emc2`), and install it with: sudo comp --install mycode.c or sudo comp --install mycode.comp Not too hard, especially if you have DSL or cable for the package downloads :) Oh, there's a wiki page: <http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?HowToWriteNewHalComponent> - Steve [snip] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
