Hello all,

I trying to compile the current LinuxCNC 2.9 branch on Linux Mint 21 with non-realtime kernel just to experiment with component development. According to the docs, the following should work. Has anyone encountered this error before?

$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure --with-realtime=uspace --disable-gtk2
[snip]
$ make
Makefile:121: *** Makefile.inc must specify RTPREFIX and other variables.  Stop.

My system is currently

$ uname -a
Linux oxcart 6.2.0-33-generic #33~22.04.1-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Thu Sep  7 10:33:52 UTC 2 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
$ cat /etc/issue
Linux Mint 21.1 Vera \n \l

Do you actually need the option --disable-gtk2?

I wonder if it is possible to install the new 2.9.1 deb file on Mint from here?
www.linuxcnc.org/dists/bookworm/2.9-rt/
Might be a shortcut

Same result without that flag I'm afraid

It's pretty close to working actually:

libboost-python1.74.0 is already the newest version (1.74.0-14ubuntu3).
libboost-python1.74.0 set to manually installed.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded.

I need to look into how to force it to think those two version or equivalent, or just ignore the dependency.

On second thought, I was being too optimistic. Lack of boost for Python 3.11 will be a problem.

I settled on just running it in a Docker container for now since all I really need is halcompile for the moment
docker pull debian:bookworm
docker run -it --name=linuxcnc -v $PWD:/linuxcnc debian:bookworm bash
apt update
apt install -y curl
curl -O https://www.linuxcnc.org/dists/bookworm/2.9-uspace/binary-amd64/linuxcnc-uspace_2.9.1_amd64.deb
curl -O https://www.linuxcnc.org/dists/bookworm/2.9-uspace/binary-amd64/linuxcnc-uspace-dev_2.9.1_amd64.deb
curl -O https://www.linuxcnc.org/dists/bookworm/2.9-uspace/binary-amd64/linuxcnc-uspace-dbgsym_2.9.1_amd64.deb

apt --fix-broken -y install

I don't think you need --with-realtime.

I'm using mint 21.2 for development - I don't remember doing anything unusual.
