Installing serport.comp fails

Hello programmers,
I´m playing with the comp generator and created some easy moduls so far, which worked pretty good.
Now i would like to go on to more complex and therefore I started with serport.comp
I tried to edit it and install it, but it failed.
So I took the unedited serport.comp and tried to install, but it failed too.
Took it from here:
Link to serport.comp
I was trying this:
user@debian:~$ cd Desktop
user@debian:~/Desktop$ sudo su
root@debian:/home/user/Desktop# comp serport.comp
root@debian:/home/user/Desktop# comp --install serport.comp
make KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS=/usr/realtime-3.4-9-rtai-686-pae/modules/linuxcnc/Module.symvers -C /usr/src/linux-headers-3.4-9-rtai-686-pae SUBDIRS=`pwd` CC=gcc V=0 modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-3.4-9-rtai-686-pae'
  CC [M]  /tmp/tmprUz9e3/serport.o
serport.comp:49:22: fatal error: rtapi_io.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make[4]: *** [/tmp/tmprUz9e3/serport.o] Error 1
make[3]: *** [_module_/tmp/tmprUz9e3] Error 2
make[2]: *** [sub-make] Error 2
make[1]: *** [all] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-3.4-9-rtai-686-pae'
make: *** [modules] Error 2
root@debian:/home/user/Desktop# find -name *rtapi_io*
root@debian:/home/user/Desktop# cd ../.
root@debian:/home/user# cd ../.
root@debian:/home# cd ../.
root@debian:/# cd ../.
root@debian:/# find -name *rtapi_io*
root@debian:/# 

The problem is that I don´t know where to find the header files(like "rtapi_io.h") which are included in serport.comp

Hope you can help me,
thank you in advance

If you have the source code then they are in /src/rtapi

But, you may well not have the source code.

If you look at the source code for comp itself:
github.com/jepler/linuxcnc-mirror/blob/c...l/utils/halcompile.g

(Which is now called halcompile, what version of LinuxCNC are you using?)

That has an undocumented "include" command for use above the ;; token which might work better.

I don´t even have the folder /src/rtapi

What do you mean I should look for in halcompile?

I´ve used the live cd for installation.
It´s wheezy with kernel 3.4-9-rtai-686-pae.

Was serport.comp made for an older version of linuxcnc?
Is there a later version of serport.comp available?

Thank you,
Jan

,comps that have #includes tend to need to be compiled as part of a full compile, rather than with comp / halcompile.

If you don't have the header files you can't include them.

You will probably find that your system has a fully-functional serport component. But you need the #included files to exist if _you_ want to compile it.

Ok thank you.

I´ve found out that serport.comp compiles when I change rtapi_io.h to rtapi.h

But I don´t know if the created component works.

Will try it out the next days.

Kind regards
Jan

In that case I am pretty sure it will work without that line at all.

(_no_ .comp can work without rtapi.h)

Based on a little checking of the history of LinuxCNC, the header <rtapi_io.h> is first available in LinuxCNC 2.6.0. If you are using an earlier version, such as 2.5.x, then this header is not available.
