Bridgeport ATC Success ,.. but some Install Questi
i finally did the ATC (and spindle orient) on the Bridgeport 412 only 1 small mechanical issue then it is done.
( www.cnczone.com/forums/bridgeport-hardin...teract-part-2-a.html )
but
I now use a compiled version of 2.6.2 and run in place as root.
This i should not do on that machine in that factory
so my question
which way would you suggest or have successfully used to
lets say user bp412 does autologon and has an (or 2) icon for using linuxcnc
there is still a version of emc2 on it from the live cd ,..
which i did not remove so far
any hint would be appreciated.
thx

That gives me hope I can do it as well.
I'm not a programmer though, so finding my way through configuring this thing is prooving to be one of the greatest challenges for my retrofitting. I have a 1990 vintage Maho MH 600E BTW, with original ATC.
Could you be so kind as to post your configs so I could use them to see how you accomplished all of this? I'm sure others would also be interested in seeing how you managed to do it and get inspiration to develop their own versions based on your config.
Now I will look thoroughly through your thread about it on the zone to try to learn as much as I can on how to do it myself.
Thanks for sharing!

What exactely do you mean with installiert ?
I did not found some description How to do that
I could probably do it by feet
Make a cnc group Check right and path setting
But i hope there is a better way .. Thx Thomas

this will install and overwrite the installed copy , then you can run as usual

cncbasher just pinged me re this!
To make an system install version of your RIP
git clean -xdf
cd src
.autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
sudo make setuid
make install
I think your problems are to do with permissions and users
You would be better to create a group, create an admin user for that group, compile and install as that user and then add all operators
to that group giving them rights to the files.
Hope that helps

I don't know if you are actually having problems with users accessing Linuxcnc or are just anticipating them.
Whilst the above is probably the technically ultra correct way of doing it, if you build as root having configured for a user install, the files that are installed should have the attributes 755.
That means that the owner has read/write and execute access and all other users have read and execute access. That should be all you need.
This print shows a few of the linuxcnc binaries from such an install, after being installed to /usr/bin
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3853 Aug 2 11:05 5axhydrotelgui
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3358 Aug 15 15:58 5axisgui
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 126312 Aug 15 15:58 axis
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3204 Aug 15 15:58 axis-remote
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 53275 Aug 9 17:43 comp
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 11573 Aug 15 15:58 gladevcp
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1841 Aug 15 15:58 gladevcp_demo
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 188169 Aug 15 15:58 gmoccapy
So your solution should be simpler than you thought.

i just try it now
question why is it an git clean
and not an make clean ?
git clean will revert the repo clone back to original and removes things like the configure.log, Makefile and all the autoconf files and the like.
Just means you start with a clean slate and no danger of inadvertently using the previous configuration to build
