Install entire LinuxCNC precompiled package 2.5.4

Good Day Everyone,

I have the source package of linuxcnc 2.5.4, downloaded from linuxcnc.org/dists/precise/linuxcnc2.5/source/ (linuxcnc_2.5.4.tar.gz)

In Ubuntu 10.04 with LinuxCNC 2.5.4 installed with LinuxCNC live CD, I compiled in RIP mode a downloaded package with the same version of the installed one.

Now, I have my conf in RIP mode but I want install the compiled package 2.5.4 in my current system. How do I do it?

In the install package and wiki.linuxcnc help are a complete instructions with it, but until now I don't know how compile all (make install?) with Ubuntu 10.04 and LinuxCNC 2.5.4 installed.

the commands make and sudo make setuid are only for RIP mode. How can I install my pre-compiled package?

Thanks a lot.

cd src
.autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
sudo make setuid
make install

Thanks for the answer.

It was a success!

How can I fix the launcher menu and the examples options with normal user? I have to run linuxcnc through terminal typing "linuxcnc" with root user and the option to generate a copy of the examples configs in /home/user/linuxcnc/configs disappeared. Other linuxcnc Launchers are running.

That install option from same linuxcnc pre-compiled package mesh with the original linuxcnc installation or how does it work?

Thanks a lot.

Hi Everyone,

Thanks a lot.

try:
make install-menus

Hi,

After compile entire package, I can't run linuxcnc without root permissions. If I type "linuxcnc" in command line with normal user, system returns:

How can I compile a entire package and run like normal user? Is It possible?

Thanks.

Hi everyone,

Any idea for this issue ?

Thanks.

You might need the "sudo make setuid" command?

Hi Andy,

I don't know, I only followed the system instruction. Doesn't I use that command?

Thanks.

Is there some reason your not using the LiveCD to install Ubuntu 10.04 with LinuxCNC? That is the easy way for sure and you can update to LinuxCNC 2.7.4 with a small change to the Synaptic Package Manager and still have Ubuntu 10.04. I have several CNC machines still running Ubuntu 10.04 and have LinuxCNC 2.7.4.
