Are you following this?

If so, have you successfully completed step 2?

2) To get the source code and build LinuxCNC, see:
linuxcnc.org/docs/master/html/code/building-linuxcnc.html

Learn how to build the default (master) branch first.
You must succeed with this before proceding.

i had come to this conclusion last night but am still struggling with building from source. i have the feeling i am close to finished but am stuck at gathering dependencies. that said it is starting to make sense as i now have a folder name linuxcnc-dev that is full of the files that i have not been able to find. i believe these are the missing .c files that i have been trying to find. i also believe these are the text files that you edit or add then compile to be written
and so become part of the executable linuxcnc.

if nothing else i am determined, and will succeed and have a history of getting their in the end.

thank you for the link. i have been trying to get this to work. i have also been referencing my heap's building form source video 018. without much luck.

this is where i am stuck


this is my file system.

here is the terminal image in full again. i am still fumbling with linux


cheers

this may help to know where i am
