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

There appears to be different stages in the "stolem" that I was unaware of doing
$ cd src
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure

Its probably best to just follow one prophet. If you go back to the first couple of posts in this thread. that was covered and it looks like he runs that line from the scripts folder.

also don't forget the sudo make setuid after compiling. It tells you to do that on the screen at the end of compilation

Going round in circles again

Thanks for that input. I am standing back for a bit just to unfrazel my brain. So near

Always a good idea to walk away sometimes.

There is an error here
This Yapps thing is a new dependency and I've just seen a couple of comments about it being a problem. Just click on the install button on this page and follow your nose
community.linuxmint.com/software/view/yapps2-runtime
Then rerun make

I may be doing this incorrectly

You first have to configure linuxcnc. Then you can run the check dependencies. Go back one step.

cd linuxcnc-dev
cd debian
./configure uspace
cd ..
dpkg-checkbuilddeps

Hello and thanks as suggested

hamish@hamish-Presario-CQ57-Notebook-PC ~ $ cd /home/hamish/linuxcnc-devhamish@hamish-Presario-CQ57-Notebook-PC ~/linuxcnc-dev $ cd debian hamish@hamish-Presario-CQ57-Notebook-PC ~/linuxcnc-dev/debian $ ./configure uspace
Package libxenomai-dev exists, but information about its source package
is not available. This most likely means that you do not have the
right deb-src lines in /etc/apt, or that you need to "apt-get update".

You have to enable source code repositories as stated in the how to. Are you following any of the guides?

Excerpt from post 1&2

NOTE: You need to enable source repositories and apt-get update for the next steps using ./configure uspace. If you do not you will not be able to complete this step. Package Manager>Settings>Repositories> Check Mark - Enable Source Code Repositories.

Sorry, I must have missed checking that box, where is it?
Do I run this again as when I do it indicates multiple occurrences
sudo add-apt-repository 'deb mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu precise main universe'
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libgnomeprintui2.2-dev python-support tcl8.4-dev tk8.4-dev
