That looks nearly right, but you shouldn't run most of the build as root. ./configure and make should be run as your regular user, only the last "sudo make setuid" step should be run with sudo. > That compiled ok, but running linuxcnc got "execv x200_vfd no such file or > directory". > > Tried your halcompile link. Build, but still the same exev error. x200_vfd > executable was in ~/linuxcnc-2.7.4/bin. Did you modify the code in src/hal/user_comps/wj200_vfd while leaving the directory name unchanged, or did you copy src/hal/user_comps/wj200_vfd to src/hal/user_comps/x200_vfd? If you did the latter like i suggested, then you'd have to also edit src/Makefile to add your new driver. Search for wj200 in that file and add your new x200 right next to it, run "make" again, and it should build and install. If you can push a branch with your changes to github I'll have an easier time seeing what you're doing and offering useful help. > So just stabbing, we moved x200_vfd into /usr/bin, and now it gives: > RTAPI: ERROR: could not open shared memory (No such file or directory) > HAL: ERROR: could not initialize RTAPI > ./7i92_spid.hal:313: waitpid failed x200_vfd x200_vfd > ./7i92_spid.hal:313: x200_vfd exited without becoming ready You shouldn't copy files outside of your home directory by hand.
