no configure script?

Instructions say that running "make" is all that should be needed if LinuxCNC is compiled from source. Since 2.9 is available in the apt repo as linuxcnc-uspace-dev compiling from source isn't what most people are likely to do. I installed LinuxCNC from apt myself.

running make alone will fail: $ make g++ -c -Wall -I. -I/usr/include -I/usr/include/linuxcnc -c -o obj/from_shcom.o from_shcom.cpp g++ -c -Wall -I. -I/usr/include -I/usr/include/linuxcnc -c -o obj/inifile.o inifile.cpp inifile.cpp:23:10: fatal error: config.h: No such file or directory 23 | #include "config.h" | ^~~~~~~~~~ compilation terminated. make: *** [Makefile:14: obj/inifile.o] Error 1

I believe config.h is typically generated from running ./configure?

Fixed, I think. Try "linuxcnc/emc.hh" instead of "config.h"

Not sure what to make of this:

Sorry, my bad. Turns out config.h is included by emc.hh so my earlier change didn't help. Try again.

That did it, thanks
