After somehow successfully installing the preempt_rt kernel I have been working at compiling linuxcnc 2.9 on linux mint.
All dependencies have been installed, attached is what I get after trying to compile.OS is mint 21.2, kernel 5.10.180-rt89-rc1, i5 2500 8gb ram.
I also tried just installing linuxcnc 2.8.4 from a .deb file but i get a message saying dependency is not satisfiable: python (>=2.7). I have python 2.7.18-3 installed, not sure what the issue there is.
Any help would be appreciated.

EDIT: Recompiling with no-docs worked! Thank you very much!

To build 2.9 from the github source (only that is currently possible on mint) use a fresh installation of mint install the dependencies. Leave the python alone! If you start fiddling with with python versions you're going to loose your mind.

If you still have problems I strongly recommend using Debian Bookworm and installing Linuxcnc from the Package manager.

When you cd into the debian directory (before building packages )run configure with the
Code:
no-docs option
I have 2 machines running Mint 21.2 Victoria and this works.

This is what I have on my machine:
Code:
xxxxxx@xxxxxx:~$ cat /etc/lsb-release DISTRIB_ID=LinuxMint DISTRIB_RELEASE=21.2 DISTRIB_CODENAME=victoria DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Linux Mint 21.2 Victoria" xxxxxx@xxxxxx:~$ python --version Python 3.10.12

If you want to give Debian 12 BookWorm a try, use the Mate Desktop Environment, it is the same thing Mint uses.
Or XFCE if on an older PC.
