Ah, you're building on Gentoo, I didn't realize that. We do not currently have instructions for how to build on Gentoo, unfortunately. LinuxCNC currently targets/supports Debian and Debian-derived distributions like Ubuntu. There have been some efforts to develop the Gentoo build documentation, but as far as I know they have not produced any results yet. If you get your Gentoo build to work, I'd welcome an ebuild file and/or documentation. You're right that src/configure is supposed to identify missing build dependencies. If it fails at that job, that's a bug, and we'd love a patch. debian/configure and dpkg-checkbuilddeps are Debian-specific tools that do a similar but different job - they tell you, in a programmatic way, which debian packages are missing and need to be installed in order to build. -- Sebastian Kuzminsky ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
