Gmoccapy - A new screen for linuxcnc

sudo apt-get install gnome-icon-theme-full seems to solve the problem. The master-rt from the buildbot runs under LXDE. The GIT build doesn't; it complains about gscreen.spindle-feedback-bar missing in gmoccapy_postgui.hal. Might as well be me doing something wrong, so let's play around a little before I ask for help.

XFCE is OK, but I still like LXDE more. That window manager is so fast and snappy...
(now, where is my good old fvwm2?)

[edit]
Removed the many sim configs in my ~/linuxcnc/configs directory, did a fresh GIT pull with rellenbergs improved TP, built it, and now gmoccapy also works in the RIP environment.
As I said: it was probably my mistake.

Fine to hear, that it do run also under other window managers.

@Dabit: Are you willing to document that on the WIKI?

Norbert

Sure. Is there a simple 'how to document things on a wiki for dummies'-article somewhere?

Yes!

Basic Steps

Norbert

gmoccapy 1.0 !!

I made it, gmoccapy reached stable state!

The main difference from previous versions is that gmoccapy is now stand alone, completely separated from gscreen.
This has two main reasons:

1. gmoccapy has become so complex, that it is not any more a typical gscreen skin, it is an own application.
2. I got a speed advantage because I do not need as much timers as before.

But take care!
Due to the change, all hal pin has changed their names from gscreen. to gmoccapy. and also the tooloffset pin changed their names.
I did update the WIKI according to the changes, so please read it!

I hope to get now a more easy product for support, because there will be less influence from other code parts and I can put more effort in new features.

I would like to express, that this decision has nothing to do with gscreen and its very good code and features and that this decision is completely conform to Chris opinion. Chris I thank you for gscreen and I will also in the feature have an eye on that, because without gscreen I would never have begone to code gmoccapy.

THANKS CHRIS!

Hope you will support me also in feature!

Norbert

Thanks Norbert, your efforts is also much appreciated and needed. I will start testing later today.
