gmoccapy.toolchange-change Not Found

Guys,
    Hope you can help - I'm pulling my hair out at this stage. I have been through all the posts related to this from previous years and all the manuals but I cannot for the life of me get this pin to connect

I have the following line in my custom_postgui.hal file but it is not finding gmoccapy.toolchange-change (Or any of the other 3 required)

                net tool-change gmoccapy.toolchange-change <= iocontrol.0.tool-change

If I comment it out and go to the hal meter on the running application I can see the signal but my postgui will not link to it. I have a generated config from with a MESA board I am just hacking to put in the probe code. Is there something in the CONFIG I need to untick / tick before I add these lines? Or anything else I might be missing? I've been through the INI and main HAL files but nothing jumps out at me!

Any help appreciated

OK - apologies but I went through the files again and found the issue......

It appears that the PNCCONF tool inserts the line below at the top of the main HAL file

source postgui_call_list.hal

So this is called before everything else
If I delete this line it works. Am I missing something here? The postgui_Call_list.hal is also declared in the HAL section of the INI.....


Cheers

What version of linuxcnc are you using?

No, it seems that you have probably found a fix to a PNCCONF bug. (Which is why Chris is asking about LinuxCNC versions, I would guess he wants to check if it's a fixed issue or not) 

OK - not sure if this is correct but the splash screen says 2.8.2-11 and some other numbers I'm not quick enough to write down. I may get to it later. Is there somewhere else to read it?

It was the Debian / LinuxCNC install image that was on the websites.

GMOCCAPY is 3.1.3.8

This is in the INI:

# Generated by PNCconf at Fri Jul 1 11:50:58 2022
# Using LinuxCNC version: 2.8
# If you make changes to this file, they will be
# overwritten when you run PNCconf again

This is the top of the HAL with the offending entry:


# Generated by PNCconf at Sun Jul 3 11:35:31 2022
# Using LinuxCNC version: 2.8
# If you make changes to this file, they will be
# overwritten when you run PNCconf again
