RE: mk-build-deps...

The issue tracker is not a support forum

The LinuxCNC issue tracker is to report bugs in the software. If you have a question about how to use the software, use one of the other methods detailed on our community support page: http://linuxcnc.org/community/

Here are the steps I follow to reproduce the issue:

curl -1sLf \
  'https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/machinekit/machinekit/cfg/setup/bash.deb.sh' \
  | sudo -E bash
curl -1sLf \
  'https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/machinekit/machinekit-hal/cfg/setup/bash.deb.sh' \
  | sudo -E bash
git clone https://github.com/machinekit/emcapplication.git
cd emcapplication
sudo apt install build-essential fakeroot devscripts python apt-cudf
sudo apt-mark hold machinekit-hal
debian/configure machinekit-hal=0.4.20894-1.gitebe1344a0${debian} no-docs

I cannot make it past this command. So, I just use make and sudo make install w/out dependencies but I get
errors when I run the source on desktop/server w/ a vncserver.

This is what I expected to happen: I expected the build to make all dependencies.

This is what happened instead:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 emcapplication : Depends: machinekit-hal (= 0.4.20868-1.gitc2e248500~buster) but 0.4.21020-1.git941bffc90~buster is to b$
                  Recommends: linuxcnc-doc-en but it is not installable or
                              linuxcnc-doc but it is not installable
                  Recommends: machinekit-hal-dev (= 0.4.20868-1.gitc2e248500~buster) but 0.4.21020-1.git941bffc90~buster $

It worked properly before this:

(If the behavior changed after making a particular change in hardware or software, describe the change you think is responsible. E.g., "after upgrading from LinuxCNC 2.7.3 to 2.7.4")

Information about my hardware and software:

• I am using this Linux distribution and version (often, shown by lsb_release -a):

  Distributor ID: Debian Description: Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster) Release: 10 Codename: buster

• I am using this kernel version (shown by uname -a):

  Linux beaglebone 4.19.173-bone-rt-r60 #1buster PREEMPT RT Tue Feb 16 23:42:16 UTC 2021 armv7l GNU/Linux

• I am running ...

  • [ ] A binary version from linuxcnc.org (including buildbot.linuxcnc.org)
  • [ ] A binary I built myself
  • [x] A binary version from some other source besides linuxcnc.org

• I am using this LinuxCNC version (shown in package manager or, for git versions, scripts/get-version-from-git):

• I am using this user interface (GUI) (e.g., AXIS, Touchy, gmoccapy, etc): emcapplication ?

• I am using this interface hardware vendor and chipset (e.g., parallel port, ethernet port, FPGA card): TI.com am335x from BeagleBoard.org

P.S. I have tried many different versions of machinekit-hal and all have failed me so far in relation to building emcapplication. Please provide assistance if you can find time.

Hello Again,

I received some guidance on this issue. I think a docker image and a cross-compilation has done the trick. I will close this issue once the lib. works on a server or LCD. Sorry to post w/out any experience in the field here.

Hello,

I had the wrong machinekit-hal items installed and corrected it via emcapplication cross-comp. Thank you if you read this plea.

P.S. Thank you @cerna .
