Ray,
I have followed your instructions to the letter, been through it several
times from the get go on two different machines., and still have problems
with the EMC compile using the June 7 EMC release. The configuration is
Redhat 6.2 with kernel 2.2.14, rtlinux prepatched kernel 2_2_13, and EMC
June 7, 2000 release. Here is the problem, after finally getting all of
the files copied to the correct places per your instructions, I still can't
get iosh to build. I get a long list of warnings and then it quits with and
Error 1 message. EMC appears to work fine in simulation mode but without
iosh I don't think it will do me much good trying to run the machine. I
have been doing computers for 26 years and I under stand peoples frustration
with installing EMC. I have read all the posts on producing EMC cd's for
easy install, I find this quite interesting as no one has mentioned
straightening out the source tree to get all the files in the right place
with a single tree structure for the current rtlinux release. I am not
convinced that you can build the current EMC release without having several
older releases installed on the same system. EMC looks like it has a lot of
potential, and yes I know NIST is not going to release a commercial product,
but I can understand some of the reasons why no one has tried to make a
commercial product out of EMC yet. I too would be willing to work on
packaging it up, but not until someone cleans up the source tree, the way it
is now every time they come out with a new release you would have to spend
several weeks debugging it and making sure it all compiles on many different
platforms. I don't see the market supporting the cost of this effort for
free software.
