Nothing at all. It just returns.

It's like "git fetch" above. It just returns, with no verbiage.

How did you get the source code? did you git clone, or did you do something else, like download a zip file?

I downloaded the zip file. Maybe that's the issue.

I can't remember everything I did. I copied the LinuxCNC iso file to a USB drive. I tweaked the BIOS to look first at the USB drive. That put Debian 10 and LinuxCNC on the machine. I learned in correspondence in the forum that I needed the RTAI version to support the Motenc card, so I think that's when I went to github.com and got the zip file for the RTAI version. Then at first I just wanted to try to get LinuxCNC going, but ran into many issues, mostly with the code not recognizing the Motenc Lite card. So I decided that probably my best chance of exposing the version number of the Motenc card was to be able to build linuxcnc, I switched to trying to build. That's the history as I recall it.

Please stop changing the tittle, it makes it impossible to follow what and in this case where has already been answered, also makes it impossible to search for it.

Try again, using this .zip file: github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/archive/refs/heads/2.8.zip
(Or use git clone, which is probably a better idea. Wipe the existing linuxcnc-dev folder and then
git clone github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc.git linuxcnc-dev
cd linuxcnc-dev
git checkout 2.8
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
sudo make setuid

Yes, you probably downloaded the zip for the development version of LinuxCNC, and that is not currently working with RTAII downloaded the zip file. Maybe that's the issue.
