pluto_step.so not found on newer linuxcnc version was created by dinodf
Dear,
I am using a Pluto_P card for my 10 year old machine, it has always worked well!
In these days I broke the PC and I installed a newer one, when I try to run linuxcnc it does not find the pluto_step.so file, I think I have to compile it from the .comp file, can someone explain to me how to do it?
I tried but I have errors
Thak you

I have resolved the problem 
need toto create pluto_step_rbf.h from the pluto_step_firmware/pluto_step.rbf
then addat line 145 of pluto_step.comp file to avoid error: unknown type name ‘__u32’
then redofrom linuxcnc-2.8/src/
Enjoy
need to
cd linuxcnc-2.8/src/hal/drivers
python rbf2h.py pluto_step_firmware/pluto_step.rbf > pluto_step_rbf.h then add
include <asm/types.h>;then redo
halcompile --install hal/drivers/pluto_step.compEnjoy
