Brought down the new code compiled it, marked as a program etc.
When I get to running it I get this. I very well could have did something wrong too though.

superman@esab ~/linuxcnc-grotius $ linuxcnc

Hi scuba,

I am planning to make a new install this weekend on a thirt pc. So i will check the process. I will make a new reprository for newer updates. When i am working on it i will set it private. Otherwise it can cause problems. Then the starred reprository will always be working at any time.

Your fault code looks a little bit strange.
Could be 2 things. I think you maybe forgot to type the rip environment procedure correctly. . ./

When i make changes i always check the compiling procedure and startup.

Hi Scuba,

I did a new install on clean pc.

It works without problems. I had to change the parport adres, because of different parport adres to get the machine out of
emergency brake.

Here the procedure, also available at the end of the github install readme file.
github.com/michelwijnja/external_offsets...lob/master/README.md

Code:

Burn and install the iso cd debian stretch 64 bit : http://www.linuxcnc.org/testing-stretch-rtpreempt/linuxcnc-stretch-uspace-amd64-r11.iso

terminal :

sudo apt-get install git
git install https://github.com/michelwijnja/external_offsets_adaptive_feed.git linux_grotius
sudo apt-get install debhelper tcl8.6-dev tk8.6-dev libreadline-gplv2-dev asciidoc
sudo apt-get install dblatex docbook-xsl dvipng graphviz groff inkscape python-lxml source-highlight texlive-extra-utils 
sudo apt-get install texlive-font-utils texlive-fonts-recommended texlive-lang-cyrillic texlive-lang-french texlive-lang-german 
sudo apt-get install texlive-lang-polish texlive-lang-spanish texlive-latex-recommended w3c-linkchecker xsltproc asciidoc-dblatex 
sudo apt-get install python-dev libxmu-dev libglu1-mesa-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libgtk2.0-dev gettext intltool 
sudo apt-get install autoconf libboost-python-dev netcat libmodbus-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev 
sudo apt-get install python-xlsxwriter

Make file in linux_grotius, bin folder, grotius => executable.

cd src
./autogen.sh
./configure
make -j2
sudo make setuid
cd ..
cd scripts
. ./rip-environment
linuxcnc
select grotius and make desktop shortcut
grotius desktop shortcut, select run in terminal
Look for parport adres : type in terminal : dmesg | grep par
Change the grotius.hal file with the correct parport adres, in my case : 0xe050
The complete line in grotius.hal = loadrt hal_parport cfg="0x1110 out 0x1120 out"  (second parport is not used but has not to be deleted)
Ready.

I will let this reprository what is is now, starred reprository
I will clone to new one and make my update's there. When update's are ready i will give a signal.

I haven't been using debian ISO as it is so stripped down, doesn't seem to handle the multi Ethernet cards very well. Also I struggle without all the the utilities it does not come with.

That really shouldn't be an issue should it?

I did copy the old directory to a new name and installed the fresh in the original directory like the docs read.

I guess I'll try it all agian and see if I have any more luck this time.

Hi Scuba,

I read you have not used the debian Iso.
Hmm. The 32 and 64 bit version is perfect for linuxcnc. It will update during new installation when you have a connected internet cable.
What kind of utilities do you miss? Debian is in the linux timeline the core of all distribution's. it's very compact and clean.

I have tried several other distro's. And for me Debian 9, 64 bit is the best so far. Very stable version. You have to know more from command line function's instead of using Ubuntu or Mint. But that is no issue when there is a good readme file behind the installation.

If you have startup problem's on installing your way, you can replace the grotius.hal file and use the simulation hal files from axis.
It will startup, even without parport or anything, I started it on a clean laptop last week. And this week i started on a thirth pc.
But i have no Mesa config at this moment. So that is still to be worked out trough somebody.

Grab a pc and install 32 on old pc and 64 bit on newer pc. Just follow the github readme file. And you are done.

In worst case senario i can help you with tiemviewer to help install your application.

doesn't seem to handle the multi Ethernet cards very well

I don't know this, but it can be easy to update like : sudo apt-get install Mesa_multi_Ethernet_cards
If you have a problem on that you could ask Mesa for how to update.

Grotius, can you point me in the right direction to use inkscape for generating gcode? I'm seeing a lot of people using "unicorn"? plugin. Everytime I try to use the native gcodetools in inkscape it throws errors (not enough layers, not the right layers... etc.) and I'm having problems with fusion generating gcode as well.
