Linuxcnc IDE

Oh - so what's your problem?

I thought I made it as easy as possible, but apparently I failed.

you need

• a working linuxcnc installation
• an opencascade toolkit installed
• a qt5 toolkit installed

Then you clone Falconview repository.
Once completed you need to edit the topmost CMakeLists.txt and change the paths for the required parts (line 8 - 11)

After that, you can use cmake-gui or QtCreator - whatever you like.

If you run into problems, please report the problems in FalconView thread.

Hi
Reinhard: this is way too complex for a base to get started.
I thought of something like an app with one or two docks with a few signals and slots.
Then the Q&A's are coming.

I thought of something like an app with one or two docks with a few signals and slots.

Well, if you want to tweak an application, you have to check out how to build it.
That's what my last post was about.

Regarding Falconview - its up to you, what you get.
If you really want just one or two plugins, just delete the rest of it.
Each plugin is isolated in build tree with its own makefile and so on. Like a standalone project. It is only part of a bigger app - but if you like, you can ignore the rest and just look at one plugin.
Treat the rest of the app like a toolkit (like Qt or opencascade) - which means, only look into toolkit when you're interested in.

I think both of you are pointing out one of the beautify things about LinuxCNC, that there isn't ONE single configuration or operations interface. Because we can define things in HAL we get to choose with UI we put on top of it and how complex we want that to be.
There are certainly times when I wish I could just use a drag and drop configuration for a HAL component, but in the end I'm glad it is based on a text file that I can read (and keep it source / version control with meaningful comments).

Little help ?

for (int i = 0; i < NumGridRows; ++i)

        m_buttons->setObjectName(m_buttonsName);

        m_buttons->setChecked(false);

        QObject::connect(m_buttons,SIGNAL(pressed()),this,SLOT(??????????()) );

How do I get that argument in ?

Although this code is not my code, I'm willing to help, but I don't support lazyness!
You already know the class name and the method name - and your question is well documented. So rtfm!
