qtvcp uses obsolete(?) env variable EMC2_HOME instead of LINUXCNC_HOME #3151

Closed Eckeneckepen closed 1 month ago

Eckeneckepen commented 1 month ago

Here are the steps I follow to reproduce the issue:

  1. git clone https://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc
  2. cd linuxcnc/src
  3. ./autogen.sh
  4. ./configure --with-realtime=uspace --prefix=/opt --enable-non-distributable=yes
  5. make -j 2
  6. make install
  7. /opt/bin/linuxcnc
  8. Select sim.qtdragon_hd.qtdragon_hd_xyz

This is what I expected to happen:

LinuxCNC starts normally.

This is what happened instead:

qtvcp cannot find ui-files and qtdragon_hd_handler.py

It worked properly before this:

n/a

Information about my hardware and software:

KVM-virtual-machine, Debian 12, current master

Changing EMC2_HOME to LINUXCNC_HOME solves the problem for me.

Use of --prefix is somewhat deprecated. But while it exists it ought to work.
