2.9 Master on Debian 11.3

configure uspace no-docs

Build today's master Linuxcnc 2.9, april 17 2022 on Debian 11.3 , and all the parts I need ,Axis, smart serial rs274 Handwheel,  are building/running OK.

Is building the docs broken currently? When I build the package with no-docs flag it works. Without it I get an error from asciidocs and can't continue.

I am on Bullseye. Just tried again and I get an error. This is also on a Raspberry Pi if that makes a difference.  Here it is if anyone has seen it...

I tried it again this morning. Still no luck with the docs on 11.3
Same as above.

I do get the exact same error on an AMD64 machine, also with Bullseye. I'll make a Buster VM later and try that.

LCNC 2.9 uspace Debian 11 Packages:
repository.qtpyvcp.com/repo/linuxcnc_debs/

These were built back in April of this year.

LCNC 2.9 installed without any issues on Deb11 until a few weeks ago.

"po4a 0.62 in bullseye is too old, it also cannot build our docs
we need 0.66 from bookworm/testing and unstable
it also looks like DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=parallel=N is no longer honored, so that'll make the build times longer too"

For RIP:
username@debian11:~/dev/rip/src$ make
emc/Submakefile:4: warning: overriding recipe for target '../include/linuxcnc.h'

You now need to run 'sudo make setuid' in order to run in place with access to hardware.
cd rip
source scripts/rip-environment
you may need to add a line like this one to your ~/.bashrc

source /home/username/Projects/linuxcnc/scripts/rip-environment

RIP works on Deb11 with some changes to the install instructions. I'm building on Sid later. I'll post an update.

I can confirm that updating po4a to the bookworm version (0.66) works. This is on both AARCH64 and AMD64.  Here's how I did it:

Add a file to /etc/apt/sources.list.d called bookworm.list

Put the following in that file:

deb deb.debian.org/debian bookworm main contrib non-free
deb security.debian.org/debian-security bookworm-security main contrib non-free
deb deb.debian.org/debian bookworm-updates main contrib non-free

Create a file in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ called 99bookworm

Put the following in that file:

APT::Default-Release "bullseye";

Then I ran apt update. Finally:

apt -t bookworm install po4a
