Tool offset patch

LAIR82,

Any chance I can get you to give a step by step of what you did to install this Fanuc style tool change patch? I am a new user to LinucCNC (coming from Mach3) I have managed to come a long way on my own (got everything working including upgrading to the master version so I can play with Gscreen). I for the life of me can not figure out how to apply this patch and coming from using Haas lathes its a must have. I have Git installed and have ran the git clone git://git.linuxcnc.org/git/linuxcnc.git linuxcnc-dev command successfully. After that I am lost. I want to keep the master version (2.6 pre) and use this patch. I hope you can help?

Hello Wes,

This should summarize it, there has been alot of discussion lately on this though, and Cmorley is in the works of giving it a tune-up, and hopefully pushing it to master, so t will just be a switch in your INI file, but here you go.

1. Download the following attachment,
2. Go to your Home folder, and move the folder you downloaded to the linuxcnc-dev folder that you created.
3. Open up your linuxcnc-dev folder, right click on the downloaded zipped folder, and click "Extract here"
4. After you have extracted the file, open a terminal window, and change to the linuxcnc-dev directory.
5. Once there, I would perform the "ls" command and make sure you see the .patch file listed.
6. If you see the patch file, then from the command line perform "git am --signoff lathe_style_tool_change2.patch" This will apply it to the appropriate files in he src folders. You will probably see an error for "trailing whitespace" disregard, I get the fault but the patch is applied and will work.
7. Now you need to re-compile, after compiling, it should be there and work properly.

Let me know if you get hung-up, I should be able to help

Thanks

Rick

Ok, I think where I am having problems is the re-compile. Not sure exactly what I am doing. Gonna have to read more. I got all the way to step 6 on my own before I asked. The "trailing whitespace" error did come up and i thought I did something wrong.

The trailing whitespace warning can be ignored.

BigJohnT,

Can you describe step by step how I do this... "7. Now you need to re-compile, after compiling, it should be there and work properly."?

Thanks for all the help guys!

Rick.


There's something wrong here, apply this patch but it does not work, I thought I had done wrong the process, but apply it manually. and feel the same, does not really apply changes nothing.

This version corrects the error removes deleted from the table?
