Install entire LinuxCNC precompiled package 2.5.4

Good Day Everyone,

I have the source package of linuxcnc 2.5.4, downloaded from linuxcnc.org/dists/precise/linuxcnc2.5/source/ (linuxcnc_2.5.4.tar.gz)

In Ubuntu 10.04 with LinuxCNC 2.5.4 installed with LinuxCNC live CD, I compiled in RIP mode a downloaded package with the same version of the installed one.

Now, I have my conf in RIP mode but I want install the compiled package 2.5.4 in my current system. How do I do it?

In the install package and wiki.linuxcnc help are a complete instructions with it, but until now I don't know how compile all (make install?) with Ubuntu 10.04 and LinuxCNC 2.5.4 installed.

the commands make and sudo make setuid are only for RIP mode. How can I install my pre-compiled package?

Thanks a lot.

cd src
.autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
sudo make setuid
make install

Thanks for the answer.

It was a success!

How can I fix the launcher menu and the examples options with normal user? I have to run linuxcnc through terminal typing "linuxcnc" with root user and the option to generate a copy of the examples configs in /home/user/linuxcnc/configs disappeared. Other linuxcnc Launchers are running.

That install option from same linuxcnc pre-compiled package mesh with the original linuxcnc installation or how does it work?

Thanks a lot.

Hi Everyone,

Hi,

After compile entire package, I can't run linuxcnc without root permissions. If I type "linuxcnc" in command line with normal user, system returns:

How can I compile a entire package and run like normal user? Is It possible?

Thanks.

Hi everyone,

Hi Andy,

I don't know, I only followed the system instruction. Doesn't I use that command?

Thanks.
