NativeCAM is Features renamed

Grump;

Do you have build essentials installed? Did you build linuxcnc yourself or are you using a buildbot version?

This is mainly because it is an unreleased feature still under active development.
It will get easier when it is part of the released LinuxCNC distribution.

Sorry, Dewey also forgot to tell me to install that package too. I will check the version I have at home at the end of day and tell you what it is.

Meanwhile, check for installation of required debhelper package:
$ dpkg -i debhelper
ii debhelper 9.20120909 all helper programs for debian/rules

The rev (like 9.2xxxx) it must be >=6
If debhelper is not installed, then install it with:
$ sudo apt-get install debhelper

Thanks for all your efforts but until it works from the box I won't be spending any more time trying to get it working.
Don't tell me things are updated and working when they clearly don't.
It is a perfect add on so please don't give up but I am too old to spend my life bashing my bonce against a wall when I should be enjoying what's left of it.
I'll keep an eye on progress and use it when it's stable.

Just to assist you here is the rely from your last post.

cncuser@debian:~$ sudo apt-get install debhelper

Grump,

You have the right to give up
Thanks for giving me a chance to try help you

Hi,

Here is a tip that might speedup operation of NativeCAM or maybe protect your ssd if you worry about it.

You all know that on every change, the ncam.ngc is recreated and reloaded by lcnc.
Use a ram disk by editing etc/fstab and include this line :
tmpfs /mnt/ramdisk tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec,nodiratime,size=1024K 0 0
and set your ini configuration
[DISPLAY] PROGRAM_PREFIX = /mnt/ramdisk
