How to proper compile, built, and install linuxCNC

Ok I installed a Wheezy from the ISO to a virtual machine.

Updated Linuxcnc to 2.8.2

Compiled and installed the comp.

Fiddled with the ini & hal files from the wiki to get them to work with 2.8.2

Ran the config and it loaded fine with no issues.

So I'm guessing it has to be something at your end. As far as I can tell the config will load to the axis gui.

 

Thank you, such efforts too support is very much appreciated!!
Your right, it is - as in other cases - the config file format that makes the issue.
1) Fresh install of lncnc 2.9 from buildbot.linuxcnc,org
2) sudo halcompile --install rot4thaxiskin.c
3) Open a running config file and let it convert automatically to new format
4) Add the modification from the wiki manually
- First Only add the --> no error. kinematics is loading.
5) adapt the .ini: Most evidently, format changes of
Attention: the wiki defines 8x [AXIS] but now we need 9x [JOINTS]
6) connect

This configs are still quite outside of my circle of competence.
- 9 joints enough for 4 axes with travel limits
- What do we need for the tool offsets UVW, only [JOINTS] it seems?

Hurray, it is running. Final thing to do is to implement the correct kinematics, recompile rot4thaxiskin.c, and run the machine.
Weird is the code in rot4thaxiskin.c: I am working to fix it, something like makes more sense to me.
