How can I get GladeVCP?

Has the LED widget been removed?

So, I had followed someone else's advise and compiled my own 3.8.6 from source, and that works, but none of the HAL widgets are there. I removed that install and re-installed using apt, and it also works, but still no HAL widgets. I tried to set the GLADE_CATALOG_PATH to /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/, and still no HAL widgets. Any ideas?

Ok, one step closer... found the catalogs and set the path to GLADE_CATALOG_PATH=/usr/share/glade3/catalogs/, now it throws all kinds of "Tried to include undefined widget class EMC_*****" errors.

Try

sudo apt-get install linuxcnc-uspace-dev

(After installing Glade)

actually, I had already done that *before I got to this point. But then I tried apt-get remove, then apt-get install, and still no widgets

<clutching at straws>

apt-get reinstall?

In a stand alone '.c' program using gtk2
my only problem now is I get error when using sin() or cos().
I have:
#include math.h
it will compile on wheezy OK but not buster.

You could try rtapi_math.h. Though there should be no reason to in userspace code (rtapi_math.h is the LinuxCNC threadsafe maths library, for realtime code)

OK. I found that you need -lm option in the gcc command. I didn't need that in wheezy.
This is a stand alone program not a Linuxcnc comp.
gcc -Wall -g GraphA2-tty.c -o graphA2-tty -lm `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0`

Not any more

For Buster / amd64 I have put a package "glade-gtk2" on the LinuxCNC repository.
And there is a pre-existing package for Raspbian.

For Buster with the LinuxCNC 64-bit kernel:

Code:

sudo apt-get install glade-gtk2

For Raspbian on Pi

Code:

sudo apt-get install glade-3

any change of adding to master? {i installed from 2.8-preempt, but it may be of use going forward?}
