Newb compile question.. I did a git clone to a local directory emc-dev as per the example in the online manual.
So now I have clone of the online repository on my PC. I do an "sudo apt-get remove emc2" to remove my existing live CD install of Hardy Heron EMC2. I run the compile as per the online instructions via: http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?Installing_EMC2#On_Ubuntu_with_EMC2_package_already_installed Following 2.1.2 And end up with EMC2 compiled code in the emc-dev directory. This doesn't seem quite right since that is also the local repository. I can run the software no problem - by changing the desktop shortcut to point to the new emc starting script location and it loads the profile that I configured before. But what it I want to compile a different branch of the repository that is now on my pc. If I recompile the way I am currently setup I will overwrite the files I just compiled. How can I set this up so I can have multiple versions of EMC2 on my pc at the same time - like the master, and a branch that I am testing etc. I thought I could do a git pull from my local repository to another directory and then compile there but that didn't seem to work. Perhaps I didn't do the pull correctly from my local git repository? Or I am missing something?
