Complete HOW-TO Linux Mint 18.1 32/64 RTAI or PREEMPT with RIP install or deb

Hello,

Could i please get some help? I am doing post 2 and i am at the step at loading Linuxcnc.

sudo apt-get update
cd linuxcnc-dev
cd debian
./configure uspace
cd ..
dpkg-checkbuilddeps<----I am stuck on this step

elroy@elroy-Lenovo-V570 ~/linuxcnc-dev $ dpkg-checkbuilddeps
dpkg-checkbuilddeps: error: Unmet build dependencies: docbook-xsl

Im not sure what this dependency is or how to fulfill it. Do i need Libre office Excel or is it an excel document? I searched in the forums for docbook and found nothing. I read about how to fix dependencies but done know what depenency it is that i need to fix. I erased the file and re-intalled it but to no avail.

If anyone has any insight I would appreciate it.

Hi,

After writing my last post i realized i should search for an app called docbook. Found it installed it and fixed the problem.

Elroy

Good job Elroy! Glad you got it going.

I haven't seen that as a dependency before.

So how did it eventually get resolved. I have the same problem.

Elroy

Elroy,

After writing my last post i realized i should search for an app called docbook. Found it installed it and fixed the problem.

After reading this I thought you had the issue resolved? If not what is the issue at this time? I do not understand your question.

I ran into the same Docbook-xsl problem...
Solved by doing the following..

I took another whack at this..
But I'm stubborn so I'm still trying to 64bit version..

Everything works fine until: The docbook issue above.. which I got past..

Then I continue into the debuild -uc -us step..
Which encounters an error and fails..

I just realized I need to swap to the other computer to get that pasted in.. hang on..

There's pages and pages of output from the debuild process. I believe only the last bit is relevant so that is all I will include..

All attempts to crack this problem have resulted in failure.
Googling this error gets nothing..
dh pysupport is not to be found..

Please help, because while I am out of my element in compiling any program, normally my google-fu is strong and I can pull out Some kind of info..

According to a friend of mine who really knows his linux...
This is the point of failure btw..
dh_pysupport
make: dh_pysupport: Command not found

Hey!

Sorry your still having issues with this; Did you ever get

to work for you? Seems you still have a missing dependency, that looks like the deb helper command of python support is failing.

NAME
dh_pysupport - use the python-support framework to handle Python
modules



SYNOPSIS
dh_pysupport [debhelper options] [-V X.Y] [-X item [...]] [-n] [module
dirs ...]



DESCRIPTION
dh_pysupport is a debhelper program that will scan your package, detect
public modules in /usr/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages, and move them to
the shared Python modules location. It will generate appropriate
postinst/prerm scripts to byte-compile modules installed there for all
available python versions.

It will also look for private Python modules and will byte-compile them
with the current Python version. You may have to list the directories
containing private Python modules.

If a file named debian/pyversions exists, it is used to determine the
python versions with which the package can work.

Appropriate dependencies on python-support, python and pythonX.Y are
put in ${python:Depends}. The ${python:Versions} and
${python:Provides} optional substitution variables are made available
as well.

try sudo apt get-install debhelper

that is off the top of my head.
