Documentation #110

Closed havardAasen closed 2 years ago

havardAasen commented 2 years ago

Fixes some minor typo's and capitalization in docs/source/install/bullseye.rst

Simplified creating and traversing directories in section about getting LinuxCNC source code. I also removed the part where you configured and built the source code. If the goal is to create the .deb packages, that's unnecessary. If I'm wrong, I hope it can be made more specific, and perhaps split it up in it's own section.

There is still a problem with these instructions but it is because of LinuxCNC. The version of po4a is to old in Debian Bullseye, and this makes the build fail. There's two solutions to this. Manually install a newer version of po4a, or not build documentation at all.

Not sure if it's a good idea to change the documentation.

I also noted some a dependency listed twice, installation of debug packages (are those really necessary?) and some packages that only holds documentation, not sure if those are needed either. Of course, it depends on what the goal is.

I can create some commits for these issues as well if you are interested.
