[Emc-users] Software question

2009-01-07 Thread Richard F. Amaral
Could someone explain or point me to documentation that explains the  
following:

1.What does the motion controller do? Is is part of HAL? How is it  
built? I see that the file motion.c has a 'main' function but the  
Makefile does not link it, only compiles it to an object file. How is  
this object file used?

2. It's unclear to me if there is one or more shared memory 'areas'. I  
had originally understood that only one shared memory area existed  
that all user space and kernel space programs communicated through.

3. Why use NML? Why not use just shared memory? Is NML an attempt at  
standardizing communication between software entities, i.e.  
user-kernel, user-user, kernel-kernel?

Thanks for your patience in advance.

[Emc-users] info on emcsvr

2009-01-03 Thread Richard F. Amaral
As I reviewed the EMC2 source I came across 'emcsrv'. I could not find  
the source code for this server, at least not with this name or any  
detailed information about what it does. Does any one know?

[Emc-users] EMC1 ?

2009-01-02 Thread Richard F. Amaral
Hi Guys,

I'd like to know where I can get the public domain version of EMC? Is  
it available on a cvs server like cvs.linuxcnc.org? If so, please  
provide name of branch/tag etc.

Thanks and Happy New Year!

-Rich

[Emc-users] Building EMC2 2.2.8

2008-12-27 Thread Richard F. Amaral
Hello,

I'm trying to build the latest EMC2 release, 2.2.8 on a Live-CD  
install (Ubuntu 8.0). I've already installed the following missing  
packages:

dpgk-dev
libc6-dev
tcl
tcllib
python2.5-dev
mesa-common-dev
libglu-dev
gcc
g++
gettext

After a few minutes of building, the Makefile stops with this error:

make: Entering directory `'
none -k_ -o po/rs274_err.pot emc/task/emctaskmain.cc  
emc/rs274ngc/rs274ngc_errors.cc emc/rs274ngc/interp_arc.cc  touch  
po/rs274_err.pot
/bin/sh: none: not found
make: *** [po/rs274_err.pot] Error 127

I'd appreciate any help in resolving this. Let me know if you need  
more info, thanks!

BTW: I've configured to build in place with ./configure  
--enable-run-in-place
