Complete HOW-TO Linux Mint 18.1 32/64 RTAI or PREEMPT with RIP install or deb

Elroy;

I just did a new .deb package with updating linuxcnc to the latest pull. I still do not have any of the dependencies that you are needing. I wonder why? My build went without issue, as stated in the how-to.

Anyone else out there have these packages installed? Running 32 bit that is?

i would re download the iso and check the md5 sum. Then reinstall Linux Mint 18.1 and start from scratch... Would probably be a lot quicker.

I generally find if I google "mint my_missing_package" I get a result.
Try
community.linuxmint.com/software/view/libgnomeprintui2.2-dev

community.linuxmint.com/software/view/tcl8.4-dev

community.linuxmint.com/software/view/tk8.4-dev

Last time I got to a page like this, I clicked on the "Install Now" Button and it installed it for me.

BTW, I am sure I had to resolve this but it predates this tutorial (just).

Anyway, I think that takes care of 3 out of 4 for you....I'll let you find the last.

I'm more concerned that these dependencies are being called on a 32bit kernel. I have none on my system.

Elroy,

You are on a preemptive kernel if I remember correctly.

You are on 64bit right rodw?

These dependencies are typical for 64bit. I wonder why?

Yes it is a fresh install of mint. The only thing i have done is remove virtual box and the other one i can't think of. I followed you instruction to a T after reading them several times. I think that there is some principle that i am not understanding. What are repositories? Are they like driver on windows? What are packages?

This is what i got after I did what you said.

Do this:

A repository is like an ftp. It hosts files you need for different versions of Linux.

This one above is for an older version of ubuntu.

Edit: packages are precompiled software based on different versions of Linux.

Almost like an exe installer you are used to on windows. Similar concept.

Yes, I'm on 64 bit becasue the PREMPTIVE kernel was a dismal performance failure on my 32 bit hardware so I had to upgrade to use my ethernet 7i76e.

Whether on 32 bit or 64 bit, I seem to recall that some dependencies required some research to resolve and all of these above seem familiar for one reason or another.

Yes when I was building this tutorial I added all of these dependencies that were required by trial and error.

Since then I haven't had any other issues. But I know different things are required for different machines. Just an odd ball this one.

I had to install these only on 64bit test versions.

I'm planning a how to with Linux mint LMDE next. That's based on Debian.

The issue with Debian is the network drivers wan/wifi are not supported well out of the box. Not to mention video drivers.

Which was the whole problem I had with Wheezy and Precise. I tried so many repositories and backports, I eventually broke it and moved to mint where it was seamless.

Ok, Here we go. By the way i really appreciate the help.

I think i am past the last problem and the program was able to move on to seeing the next. Help me understand because i want to know how to fish not just eat fish.

My Mint Cinnamon 32 bit must of had some missing or bad files? or i deleted them some how? I doubt the latter.
Is this correct assuming i followed your dirrections perfectly after memorizing them? haha

Ok on to the new problem. This is what i am thinking? I mimic what you did because my computer now knows where the repository is it can fetch these new packages it needs.

sudo apt-get install cdbs (>= 0.4.41) gnome-pkg-tools (>= 0.10) libglade2-dev (>= 2.3.6-4) gtk-doc-tools intltool (>= 0.35.0) libglib2.0-doc libgtk2.0-doc

This is where i am at before trying the above code.

elroy@elroy-Lenovo-V570 ~ $ dpkg-checkbuilddeps
dpkg-checkbuilddeps: error: Unmet build dependencies: cdbs (>= 0.4.41) gnome-pkg-tools (>= 0.10) libglade2-dev (>= 2.3.6-4) gtk-doc-tools intltool (>= 0.35.0) libglib2.0-doc libgtk2.0-doc
