Hi, Fern.
I can't seem to get this to work. I started again and had AXIS running properly. Here's what I did next:

- Extract NativeCAM download to my home folder. This will install a folder NativeCAM-master.
- For some reason the unzip creates ~/NativeCAM-master/NativeCAM-master/. I moved the inner one up to ~/ to keep the file paths shorter.
- Go to ~/NativeCAM-master and double-click on ncam.py. It will install the NativeCAM application in standalone mode and open it up.
- Open a Terminal window.
Code:
cd ~/NativeCAM-master sudo ./ncam.py -i ~/PathTo/MyMillIniFileName.ini -c mill
- Start AXIS pointing it to my ia-mill.ini.

Any ideas? This all seems a bit more difficult than it should be!

DO NOT EXTRACT...
Instead open a terminal in ~
and use : git clone github.com/FernV/NativeCAM.git

Code:
cd ~/NativeCAM-master sudo ./ncam.py -i ~/PathTo/MyMillIniFileName.ini -c mill

NEVER USE 'sudo' with ncam.py, it will create directories where you only have read permissions

Erase ~/NativeCAM-master and everything you created with those commands and follow the instructions.
All in a normal user terminal in your home directory

1- clone with : git clone github.com/FernV/NativeCAM.git
2- cd NativeCAM
3- ./ncam.py to make sure it runs stand alone and no package is missing, you can delete ~/nativecam directory later
4- close nativecam

I RECOMMEND THAT YOU NOW RUN : sudo ./nondeb_setup.py c
THEN ISSUE THIS COMMAND : sudo ./nondeb_setup.py

Try : linuxcnc /home/cnc1/NativeCAM/configs/sim/axis/ncam_demo/mill.ini
This will start linuxcnc with nativecam embedded

When satisfied, convert your inifile with this command from ~/NativeCAM directory :
./ncam.py -i /home/cnc1/linuxcnc/configs/ia-mill/ia-mill.ini
A backup ia-mill.ini.bak will be created.

Run linuxcnc normally using : linuxcnc /home/cnc1/linuxcnc/configs/ia-mill/ia-mill.ini

Thank you very much for your help. I've followed your instructions exactly and am almost there.

linuxcnc /home/cnc1/NativeCAM/configs/sim/axis/ncam_demo/mill.ini
This second-last starts AXIS with the NativeCAM panel.

cnc1@CNCPC:~/NativeCAM$ linuxcnc /home/cnc1/linuxcnc/configs/ia-mill/ia-mill.ini

Run the Latency Test and resolve before continuing. Unexpected realtime delay: check dmesg for details.

This starts AXIS but without the NativeCAM panel.

Can you spot my error?

Thanks again.

From '/home/cnc1/linuxcnc/configs/ia-mill/ncam' delete 'cfg', 'graphics' and 'lib' subdirs/links
Sometimes it fails to delete old stuff, I have to find out why but the cause may be you started ./ncam.py with a 'sudo' command before.

Restart lcnc with : linuxcnc /home/cnc1/linuxcnc/configs/ia-mill/ia-mill.ini

From '/home/cnc1/linuxcnc/configs/ia-mill/ncam' delete 'cfg', 'graphics' and 'lib' subdirs/links

Done + a few more that I found.

linuxcnc /home/cnc1/linuxcnc/configs/ia-mill/ia-mill.ini

NativeCAM error popup:
Code:
Error creating link : /home/cnc1/NativeCAM/examples/mill -> /home/cnc1/linuxcnc/configs/ia-mill/ncam/catalogs/mill/projects/examples Code : [Errno 13] Permission denied

followed by another:
Code:
Error creating link : /home/cnc1/NativeCAM/examples/plasma -> /home/cnc1/linuxcnc/configs/ia-mill/ncam/catalogs/plasma/projects/examples Code : [Errno 13] Permission denied

Then AXIS opens without NativeCAM.

Terminal output:

Your errors : Code : [Errno 13] Permission denied
are the result from running : 'sudo ./ncam.py'

The directory : /home/cnc1/linuxcnc/configs/ia-mill/ncam
is owned by the superuser
You will have to delete it with : sudo rmdir /home/cnc1/linuxcnc/configs/ia-mill/ncam

You should not have any problems with /home/cnc1/NativeCAM directory

Then restart : linuxcnc /home/cnc1/linuxcnc/configs/ia-mill/ia-mill.ini
