Linuxcnc 2.9/Master on Gentoo

We are making a Gentoo ebuild for 2.9.

yapps2 fork:
github.com/NTULINUX/yapps2

The changes in 2.2.1-3.1 are in this commit:
github.com/NTULINUX/yapps2/commit/4e143b...c44b192326e70ebf3e85

And I have an ebuild (Gentoo package) which handles the installation using that repo:
github.com/NTULINUX/ntu_overlay/blob/mai...2/yapps2-9999.ebuild
This was all using the LinuxCNC master branch:
Commit: 9d025fa4ffa7af29c37cf99da03252513f2019dd
Commit message: Merge pull request #1854 from petterreinholdtsen/docs-fixme-not-foo

Initially, LinuxCNC had hundreds of Boost compiling errors, and these errors looked like one you'd get mixing gcc and Clang, so I forced CC="clang" CXX="clang++" LD="ld.lld" on my ./configure line for LinuxCNC, and all the problems went away, LinuxCNC compiled and came right up! I must say, if LinuxCNC did not support Clang, I would have been better off making a whole new root filesystem from scratch, all built using GCC. Luckily you guys included support for Clang, not sure if this was intentional or not, but THANK YOU!!!

Aside from my yapps2 ebuild, known required dependencies for LinuxCNC that I have satisfied right now are:

dev-lang/python (3.10.5) (USE=tk required)
dev-libs/libmodbus (3.1.7)
dev-libs/boost (1.79.0) (USE=python and python_targets_python3_10 required)
dev-tcltk/bwidget (1.9.15)
dev-python/pyopengl (3.1.6)
dev-tcltk/tclx (8.4.4)

Toolchain details:

sys-devel/clang (14.0.6)
sys-devel/lld (14.0.6)

   

 

LCNC 2.9/master now running in Gentoo.

# TODO:
# Fix documentation install directory (upstream bug?)
# Add CNC category to graphical menu drop-down
# Implement USE flags
# Check for PREEMPT_RT
# Maybe RTAI at some point

Been running smoothly the past week or so.
