I tried this (for the sake of interest and need of a sim). I upgraded a
laptop from 8.0.4 to 9.0.4 and installed EMC as a simulator. This magical
secret error appeared and it worked perfect with Jeffs suggestion.
This is what to do to get it working:
0. If you have EMC installed, remove it.
1. You have to make a jump via release 8.10 to be able to upgrade 8.0.4 to
9.x.
$ sudo update-manager -d
Update to latest packages and then click the upgrade button to get to
8.10.
2. When it's done, restart, fix missing configs if needed (I lost my
WiFi-password) and re-run the upgrade:
$ sudo update-manager -d
Update and go to 9.0.4.
3. Now, make Jeff's "fix":
$ sudo apt-get install tk8.5-dev
$ sudo apt-get remove tk8.4-dev
$ sudo apt-get remove tcl8.4-dev
4. Add following to /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://www.linuxcnc.org/hardy hardy base emc2.3-sim
deb-src http://www.linuxcnc.org/hardy hardy base emc2.3-sim
You may have to add the pgp key (I'm not sure as I already had it).
$ gpg --keyserver pgpkeys.mit.edu --recv-key 8F374FEF
$ gpg -a --export 8F374FEF | sudo apt-key add -
Then update your source list:
$ sudo apt-get update
4. Download the latest EMC tar-ball. Unzip and enter the src-folder.
5. Make all the dependencies. Maybe some parts can be skipped, but I let my
PC get everything:
$sudo apt-get build-dep emc2
6. Configure and install (I did an install, not run-in-place):
$ ./configure --enable-simulator
$ make
$ sudo make install
7. Then when you start EMC, there's a block of simulator configs to choose
from. I copied the SIM Axis_mm-files and made my own config. Then just run
the thing as usual, except there's no mill to cut your fingers in.
9.0.4 now running EMC on my laptop. :)
Regards,
Sven
