Need testers for gmoccapy_5_axis

OK I pulled from the branch gmoccapy_2.
I have attached the terminal session via mousepad for you to review.
I copied the gmoccapy directory from linuxcnc-dev../sim to linuxcnc/configs directory and named it sim.gmoccapy_2
I tried gmoccapy_XYZAB.ini to no avail. I get errors saying gmoccappy can't handle more than 4 axis.
I attached a second doc with all of the errors.
Please let me know where to go from here.
Aloha,
Josh

Thank you again for all of your help.

If you get errors, why do you ignore them?
Solve them, otherwise you will never get a working system!!!!!!

Code:

f you get errory, please solve them before doing the next step!!!!!!!!!! distributable due to a license incompatiblilty with LinuxCNC (some portions GPL-2 only) and Readline version 6 and greater (GPL-3 or later). configure: error: To configure LinuxCNC in this way, you must invoke configure with "--enable-non-distributable=yes". Note that on Debian-based systems, you may be able to use libreadline-gplv2-dev instead. make: Failed to remake makefile `Makefile.inc'. make: Failed to remake makefile `Makefile'. josh@Mill:~/linuxcnc-dev/src$ sudo make setuid

Just ignorant.
Thank you very much for your help.
I have successfully installed gmoccapy with all five axis!
Being that you said pnconfig is not compatible with gmoccapy what is the best way to configure the I/O for the 7i77?

I am glad, you make it work.
You may use pncconf to get 4 axis and the IO ' configured and edit this file with gedit or notepad to get gmoccapy and the 5'th axis.

I do it that way, I just build a 3 axis machine and edit the INI and HAL files.
First I get rid of all unneded stuff, i.e. in the INI File all the unneded hal entries as shutdown.hal etc.
Second I make the file more easy to edit, I just cut and paste parts arround and split the huge hal file in separate smaler files. I have than a machine.hal file and a spindle.hal and a doors.hal and a toolchange.hal, a coolant.hal, etc. The only problem is, that you need to add all the files in the right order in your INI File, as you may need a component in various files and they are only allowed to be loaded ones.

So good luck.

Norbert

Would you please post an example gmoccapy ini file that is working in five axis?
I am having trouble figuring out what to keep or not keep or overwrite. Some of it is straight forward others not so much.
Which HAL files for example. I am posting the two ini's I am trying to integrate per your suggestion for your evaluation.

Looks like I need to do the same
with the main HAL files as well. Here they are.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
