The problem was related to the Ethernet settings. It was solved.

Personally, I think compiling through source code will have a much better effect. Usually, different environments lead to very poor compilation results...

Looks like the path in your ini file to your Ethercat xml file is wrong

Is there a repository that currently is complete and works? I have been trying to get an installation working since March with no luck at all. I continually get errors about various components (LCEC, Boost, meson, etc) I have been able to get an "install" using the repository on this thread but it seems to lack full connection to the before mentioned components

Dear All,

Does anyone have information that the KINCO FD425-EF-000 drive works with linuxcnc? On Ethercat?
Is there an xml file provided by the manufacturer, can I use that?
I haven't connected an Ethercat device to the machine under Linuxcnc yet.

Regards

Hi,
I tried to install the linux-ethercat package
but I get the error that they are dependent on other packages: libtool, autoconf, autoconf-archive and automake. which can not be installed.
I do have a freshly installed linuxcnc 2.9.4 preempt-rt installed from the iso image.

after

sudo apt install build-essential

unfortunatly I receive the same error mesage:

Die folgenden Pakete haben unerfüllte Abhängigkeiten: ethercat-dkms : Hängt ab von: libtool ist aber nicht installierbar Hängt ab von: autoconf ist aber nicht installierbar Hängt ab von: autoconf-archive ist aber nicht installierbar Hängt ab von: automake ist aber nicht installierbar E: Probleme können nicht korrigiert werden, Sie haben zurückgehaltene defekte Pakete.

unfortunatly in german but basically libtool autoconf, ... can not be installed
I tried to install libtool individually: and I get the error message:

For the paket libtool there is no install candidate.

(my translation)
