I took a look at the gambas website and I couldn't find much information about making Gambas interface to new libraries. Depending what you wish to do with emc2 and gambas, you would either need to create an interface to libnml or to hal---that usually means writing code in C or C++ to "glue" the

Nope, nothing's missing. You've just discovered part of the documentation that is out of date. "hal_parport" is only available as a realtime module, "halcmd loadrt hal_parport...". The path "scripts/realtime" applies to the old-fashioned way to install emc2 into a single directory, not the "run
