Looked at your notes tried to make deb got to part of process
debuild -uc -us <this command must not valid option anymore "skips the signing steps" or is key needed
debuild <here were it failed after running for a long while

Finished running lintian.
Now signing changes and any dsc files...
signfile linuxcnc_2.8.0~pre1.dsc Sebastian Kuzminsky <seb@highlab.com>
gpg: skipped "Sebastian Kuzminsky <seb@highlab.com>": secret key not available
gpg: /tmp/debsign.opEtbNf4/linuxcnc_2.8.0~pre1.dsc: clearsign failed: secret key not available
debsign: gpg error occurred! Aborting....
debuild: fatal error at line 1283:

I do have several deb files in src directory
Tim

attached are my notes

What I'm doing now to build the 2.7 deb is:
And to install the deb:
I have found that Xfce has issues with the menu and if you try and edit it with the menu editor it crashes the editor and you can't edit menus unless you replace the messed up file. So that makes me want to try LinuxMint with Cinnamon next.

glad you made progress JT

Thank-you for working on this look forward to the resulting deb file. Hope it works on all flavors of Ubuntu 14.04 and Mint 17.2

Tim

PS Did work around for menu in SySsetup.sh contained in archive before Rip. Worked for all flavors of Ubuntu, Mint and Debian but is unorthodox
I do not know python or C to do it the correct way so I am know help with this

The commands above build the deb for the currently running system, so to use the above to build a deb you need to be in the os you want the deb for. I need to put the whole thing into one file. Install OS, get RTAI kernel, get Linuxcnc, build deb, install deb.

Sound great
I am fairly new to Linux wish I knew how to do more, I am a fast learner and google has been my friend

git clone git://git.linuxcnc.org/git/linuxcnc.git mint
cd mint
git checkout 2.7
debian/configure -r ; debuild -uc -us > configure.txt


And to install the deb:

sudo dpkg -i linuxcnc_2.7.2_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i linuxcnc-doc-en_2.7.2_all.deb

Was successful building deb files did in VM ran attached script file
only problem when tried to install using dpkg linuxcnc_2.7.2_i386.deb failed to install dependence problems
Thought I may have did something wrong so did whole process over again
After which I installed deb with right click>Open with Gdebi Package Installer
Gdebi installed a few more packages and install was successful
WhooHoo :laugh:
