Manjaro + LinuxCNC?

I always used xubuntu in the past. But then, some applications stopped working as a native install like GIMP. The only way to install the latest Versions were using flatpak (Docker). This was the time I said good by to ubuntu started to use Manjaro.

Anyways, I guess linuxcnc just won't install on Manjaro. O'well.
In the archlinux user repo, the same errors are described as I have:
aur.archlinux.org/packages/linuxcnc/

---

It does not compile:
ERROR: /home/user/.cache/yay/linuxcnc/ is not a clone of git://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc.git

---

OK... so I will just get a dedicated PC then and install the debian weezy based linuxcnc iso. Thanks for all your help.

yeah! 10.04! agree! was one of the best releases.
OK, I will try the linuxcnc Strech version too.

One more question: Since linuxcnc-sim compiles and runs great with Manjaro, can it be used to run a real hardware as well (maybe by changing a flag somewhere or adding something) or is it strictly for simulation only without any machine support (parallel port) at all ?

OK, I just turned on my machine and ran the linuxCNC example edging, just to see what happens. Worked like charm! My Chinese Parallel Port Router is running. So Linuxcnc-sim, compiled under Manjaro actually runs the hardware! I am using the Linux 5.0.21_rt16-1 Realtime Kernel.

Hi all.
I have try the Manjaro Linuxcnc package but anyone work....
some package compile but failed at start with
message :

can't find package Linuxcnc
while executing
"package require Linuxcnc "
(file "/usr/share/linuxcnc/hallib/check_config.tcl" line 141)
check_config validation failed

the Linuxcnc Sim version package compile but failed at start time too..


So i have try to build from github version 2.8.2..and failed too..

i have not add the modbus and have to set non-distributable option

./configure --enable-non-distributable=yes --with-boost-python=boost_python310 --without-libmodbus

And I have a problem with yapps so I have to install the python2-yapps2 2.2.0-1 manjaro AUR package
And install the python yapps "pipx install yapps"
the boost python 1.78.0-1 and boost-libs 1.78.0-1
intltool 0.51.0-6
classicladder 0.9.113-1
bwidget 1.9.14-2 aur package
tclx 8.4.4-4
tkimg 1.4.13

And if i don't manually have set the boost python the configure failed..
But even if configure goes good when i make it the build failed in classicladder so i stop and try with the master branch..

When i have try the Master Branch the configure work very easy and the Build is ok.. and Linuxcnc start with the Axis frontend...so i am very very happy.

To have libmodbus i have install the manjaro package libmodbus 3.1.6-1
And the standard commands..
./configure --enable-non-distributable=yes
And now the make clean and make -j40 works without any errors so the build finish ok in
29 Seconds ..very very nice..

After this I have the compiled of 2.9.0~pre0 ok and i start it with ../script/linuxcnc this run i think very good.. I will see after some use's..

Now i will be happy to have Nativecam to run on it ..

I have done another try to have the 2.8.2 build ok but failed on classicladder..
I have install a RTpreempt kernel.. and now try with configure with specify the python27 this work best on manjaro

./configure --with-realtime=uspace --enable-non-distributable=yes --with-boost-python=python27 --with-python=python2

but when make give error
make: *** [hal/classicladder/Submakefile:49 : ../bin/classicladder] Erreur 1

And this is curious because with the devel version 2.9 any problem on this ??

If Manjaro is a rolling release and is currently using the 5.15 kernel  I really think you are wasting your time trying to build v2.8 on that platform. V2.9 would have a much higher chance of building.
