Re: [Emc-users] Emc-users Digest, Vol 15, Issue 32
Dear John and Chris: Thanks for your expertise in solving the compiling problem. John, you bet is 100% right. I run sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev Everything is OK. My suggestion is that to make installation of GTK 2.4.0 is an essential part. Otherwise, these optional, but very useful components, halmeter, halscope and classicladder, will not be successfully compiled. When we type sudo apt-get build-dep emc2 All necessary modules for EMC2 should be included. Best regards Xuecheng You must be missing some build dependencies. apt-get build-dep emc2 will help you if you're running ubuntu, otherwise carefully check the output of configure and install packages accordingly. Chris I have tried your suggestion. But after compiling (--enable-run-in-place) emc2.1.6, in the directory emc2/bin/ there is no executable file halscope or halmeter after I copied the old version halscope and halmeter into the directory emc2/bin I can launch them. I don't know where is the new halscope and halmeter which are from emc2.1.6? I bet they aren't being compiled. Halscope and Halmeter need GTK version 2.4.0 or later. If the appropriate GTK development packages aren't installed, any programs that use GTK won't be built. Re-run configure, and examine the output closely... on my system there is a line like this: checking for GTK 2.4.0 or above... yes - 2.8.20 I bet you have a message that says checking for GTK 2.4.0 or above... no - some programs will not be built or something like that. To fix that, install the GTK 2.4 or later development packages on your system and re-run configure. For a Dapper system that probably means apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev The reason we don't simply have configure stop and report an error is that halmeter and halscope are considered optional programs - they are tools that you use to tweak EMC, not critical parts of EMC itself.

Re: [Emc-users] Compile genhexkins.c as a executable
My commandline was intended for the development version of emc2. In version 2.1, it appears that the posemath functions are in the library 'libnml'. In the next version, the posemath functions are split out into a separate library. You also need to use g++, not gcc, to link this program in any case. I made a mistake when I showed gcc in my link line in the earlier message. This should clear up the errors like: undefined reference to `__gxx_personality_v0' undefined reference to `operator new(unsigned int)' You also missed the -DMAIN in some of your commandlines, which led to the errors like undefined reference to `main' Jeff - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

[Emc-users] EMC Convert???
Hi, Sam: You wrote: Is there a chance we may be converting you to the emc2 side? ;) We can always use more programmers... The penguin knows I am not one. :) (samcoinc on the turbocnc yahoo list.) Sam Well, yes and no. I've been using one or another version of EMC since the first of the year and like its smoothness, especially when compared to TurboCNC 4.x, which has the annoying habit of stuttering around inflection points. However, I like the limited language that we've built into TurboCNC - it's nice to be able to customize the G-Code program from within the G-Code interpreter. I haven't really explored the internals of EMC enough to know how easily that type of capability could be implemented, or where it would be implemented. (It seems as if EMC is actually a couple of programs that work together to make parts rather than one monolith as TurboCNC is). I'm using the MINI interface with my Sherline mill; I've modified some of the labels on the buttons, and have changed the Start/EStop function a little. When I first started playing with EMC, I found it to be inconsistent as to when I had to turn the machine on and when I didn't. I dug into the code enough to force you to always turn it on. I also changed some of the colors on the rightmost button to better reflect the machine's state. But, I'm not a linux guru by a long shot and have a lot to learn. After installing Ubuntu on my CNC computer, I've also installed it as a dual boot (actually, triple boot since I can boot this machine into DOS as well) on my main computer and am playing around with it. As for TurboCNC - about the only thing I do there is keep the yahoo list sanitized from spurious messages. I'm not working on that software any more. Does EMC support the G33 threading capability? I'll be adding CNC to my lathe and will probably use TurboCNC there if EMC doesn't. -- Jerry Jankura So many toys So little time - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

[Emc-users] TkEMC Interface
I do know about the Axis Slider on TkEMC as far as setting the jog speed. Does the number indicate the jog speed in inches per minute when your units are Inches? I found the tkemc.tcl file and it appears to be a basic like language. What language is it? Is the file read each time you load EMC with the TkEMC interface or is it compiled?

If you click on the position displays the active axis will switch to that axis. You can see the active one because in manual mode there is a groove around it. Tkemc will home the active axis when you press the home button or jog it with the jog buttons next to home. Mini will show you the name of the axis it plans to home when you press the zero button.

Yes, emc 2.1 has G33 spindle-synchronized motion and G76 canned threading cycle. emc 2.2 will have g33.1 rigid tapping as well, if your spindle can stop and reverse under computer control. These all require a spindle encoder with index pulse. Preferably a few hundred encoder counts per spindle revolution. For encoder speeds up to 20kHz or so, you can rely on software counting of the encoder. Jeff - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Still grepping through log files to find problems? Stop.
