The commands above build the deb for the currently running system, so to use the above to build a deb you need to be in the os you want the deb for. I need to put the whole thing into one file. Install OS, get RTAI kernel, get Linuxcnc, build deb, install deb.

Sound great
I am fairly new to Linux wish I knew how to do more, I am a fast learner and google has been my friend

What I'm doing now to build the 2.7 deb is:

git clone git://git.linuxcnc.org/git/linuxcnc.git mint
cd mint
git checkout 2.7
debian/configure -r ; debuild -uc -us > configure.txt


And to install the deb:

sudo dpkg -i linuxcnc_2.7.2_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i linuxcnc-doc-en_2.7.2_all.deb

Was successful building deb files did in VM ran attached script file
only problem when tried to install using dpkg linuxcnc_2.7.2_i386.deb failed to install dependence problems
Thought I may have did something wrong so did whole process over again
After which I installed deb with right click>Open with Gdebi Package Installer
Gdebi installed a few more packages and install was successful
WhooHoo :laugh:
