Replace linuxcnc from live CD wit linuxcnc-dev was created by frequency
Hello,
i am still
confused in things concerning linux, so this is maybe more a linux question?
I had installed linuxcnc from live-cd (ubuntu + linuxcnc).
After that i got the source (linuxcnc-dev) with git and made some changes to the source.
Now the question: Can i replace the original linuxcnc from live cd on my system with the linuxcnc where i made some changes?
cheers

Sure, you just have to locate the installed directory and copy the file over. Tell me what you changed and I might be able to point you to the correct directory.

Yes.
By default the git version of LinuxCNC compiles as a run-in-place system. To compile it as an installed system you need to use the --prefix flag when configuring.

Thanks for your fast response!
Now I had replaced the usr/bin/linuxcnc script by the linuxcnc script in my linuxcnc-dev directory and it seems to work fine.
Could this result in problems?
@BigJohnT :
I made changes in hal_lib.c,hal_priv.h, rtapi.c and motion.c, but only to copy the resulting components (hal_lib.ko, motmod.ko, rtapi.ko)
seems not to be enough because at start of axis i got the debug information that HAL is locked and loading modules is not possible!?
@andypugh : I will try this
Thanks

Follow Andy's advice, I forgot about the prefix flag.

Good effort, thats one way to jazz up your desktop.
Unfortunately running an old rtai kernel on a newer bloated Ubuntu version does nothing to solve the underlying problem and may bring a few of its own.
It does not support newer hardware, about the only reason for moving to 12.xx.
I use it on my laptop, because otherwise I have no ethernet or sound.
8.04LTS has not been 'supported' for several years, but still works happily on my workshop machines, running 2.5.1
regards

Seeing how LTS for 10.04 runs out in April I tried to get everything going on 12.04
