Forgot to mention- yes there was a "Submakefile" in the wj200_vfd directory. We moved that to the x200_vfd directory and blanket-replaced wj200 to x200 in that as well.
It compiles ok. Like I say, starting Linuxcnc, it exits and the error info it shows says "execv x200_vfd: no such file or directory". Yeah moving the executable to a new directory manually was pretty crude. I deleted it from the new destination immediately. Didn't work, anyhow, just generated that new RTAPI error.
