Schaublin 125-CNC retrofit.

I tried running just the turret.comp under halrun, and have the same result as Andy. It works.
 

But when I call it from my custompostgui.hal, it errors out. See attached error logs.
Cheers,

You still have the:
.turret.hal:1: Unknown command ''
error, there is something on the first line of that file causing the error.
Try running it through a dos/win to Linux script, might be some strange character there.

If I fall back on somehing like 2.8.4 buster ISO, do I loose your latest macros layout?

I think that it should work as long as you have GTK3

Yeah, I see that too.

I tried a few different ways to identify and remove strange characters, and even completely rewrote the code by hand into visual code studio. It compiles without error and runs without error in Halrun, but only fails as part of a full linuxcnc start.

Are looking at the right file? The error is in 'turret.hal' (ie the hal file) NOT 'turret.comp' (the component)

Yes, this.

Oh. Doh!!!!!

Thanks a lot. I was so focused on the comp, I missed the obvious.

Blame this on me, despite me writing this a few posts back:

I was convinced the comp issue is separate from this one, and was wondering why are you testing the comp since it is not mentioned in the error report...
Should have raised a flag ... or a smoke signal, wold have probably been more useful.

I really needed a slap upside the head!

No you do/did not, i have plenty such stories where i missed things in front of me, that is normal and utterly human, especially when we deal with complicated stuff and put all our attention sometimes in the wrong place!
The thing i am consistently working on and having issues with, is get better at explaining things and get over the "typing" lazynes.
