Hi Endian,

Yeah. I know it's a pain.
But today i started building a new linux distro. I am at 50% now.
It will take some time.

Do you need additional software on the distro?

If you want to try it on your actual CNC you first copy all config files for backup and then change one line in the INI file

[DISPLAY]
DISPLAY = qtvcp qtdragon

Unfortunately, that doesn't work. It's looking for a configs/qrdragon directory.

Can you clarify something please: How does QtDragon relate to gmoccapy? It's really not clear to me if QtDragon is just a UI skin or if it replaces gmoccapy.

This video of mine explains how to build Linuxcnc for a RIP (and Debs)

Ethercat install is here forum.linuxcnc.org/ethercat/45336-etherc...-how-to-step-by-step

But once you change the name, it should not matter if a user installed by the Debs. The .so just needs to be installed in the right folder. Perhaps that can be scripted too.

It will be interesting if your planner could be copied to the EMC folder src/emc/grotius_tp and the main  make file modified to build it.  I did this once for a seperate task module and it took about 15 minutes.
 

Easiest way is to grotius build an .iso file for greenhorns as me... but I think the best way to do it is to learn it myself but it is pain to everybody around included me who is something starting from scratch ... there it is a lot of stuff depends at a lot of other stuff ... I am starting them on my virtual machine but when it will work I will move to real iron .... I will need a little bit of help and patience too
