LinuxCNC on Linux Mint 19

Did install Mint 19 with Mate yesterday, installed a pre compiled RT kernel ( compiled on Mint 18.1 a long time ago, works even on Debian stretch), downloaded the plasmac version of git made by Phillc, everything works till building a deb for Linuxcnc, that fails with complaints about missing some xml and pdf files.

newbynobi that is some very good instructions. I'm currently running Linux Mint 18.3 with a much newer kernel.

Hallo John,

Well I solved the problems with Linux Mint 19.1 and playing around with the RTD stuff posted all the Uspace info I had here . Still need to check some items but everything should work.

Thank you John ! I like using LinuxMint much better.
I started with LinuxMint 18.3 MATE(32) instead of (64), and exactly followed your link on your page for installing rt kernel.
Seems the kernel is there, but says installation failed, and now my boot space is 100% full (rt archive image is 407mb).
Should the installation on (32) work the same as the (64)?
Any suggestions before I start from scratch again?

Sorry for my previous post. I just answered my own question.
Sometimes you look but you can't see.
