If you need an RTAI version of 2.9.7 I will try to build one.
But given your reported issues elsewhere it might be worth setting-up to build from source. It's not especially difficult, though there is a oe-time investment in installing all the build dependencies.
Get the basic tools:
Code:
sudo apt-get install git git-gui build-essential
Then get the LinuxCNC source code:
Code:
git clone https://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc.git linuxcnc-dev
Then enter the source directory and switch to the 2.9 branch
Code:
cd linuxcnc-dev
git checkout 2.9
git pull
Now you are going to need a whole bunch of packages, dpkg knows what you need: (you need to be in the linuxcnc-dev folder , where you can see the debian folder)
Code:
./debian/configure nodocs
dpkg-checkbuilddeps
[code]
This will give a while list of packages, that you can copy and paste after a sudo apt-get install command.
Note that it might now be nodoc rather than nodocs. And the list of packages will contain a few alternatives and version numbers, so will need a bit of light editing. I am _fairly_ sure that this works still with RTAI, I know that dpkg-buildpackage doesn't (which is why RTAI debs are a bit of effort to create)
Then you can build linuxcnc. This takes about 10 minutes the first time.
[code]cd src
./autohgen.sh
./configure --enable-build-documentation=none
make
The only complication here is that the build will be a run-in-place (can exist alongside a standard install) and to chose it you need to run a script.
Code:
. ~/linuxcnc-dev/scripts/rip-environment
(Yes, it really is dot-space at the beginning)
