This page describes how to prepare BDI 4.38 to compile EMC2 and AXIS.

After the initial installation, prepare apt-get and install updated packages:

 sudo apt-get update
 sudo apt-get upgrade
The "apt-get upgrade" step will download a large number of files, unless you've done it before.

Second, add new packages necessary to compile EMC2 and AXIS:

 sudo apt-get install bwidget tk8.4-dev tcl8.4-dev python-dev git-core
 sudo apt-get install g++ gcc gcc-2.95 libncurses5-dev pciutils-dev
 sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev rtai-dev-`uname -r` 
 sudo apt-get install xlibmesa-dev libxmu-dev linux-headers-`uname -r`
This step will also download a large number of files. (The packages are split across several apt-get commands so that the text doesn't go off the side of a reasonably wide window; you can put all the package names on a single 'apt-get' command line if you prefer)

If any of the 'apt-get' steps prompts you to make a choice, the default is generally acceptable.

Finally, follow the Installing EMC2 steps for compiling emc2, with two differences:

By using '--enable-run-in-place' emc2 will write no files outside its directory structure so it is perfectly safe to use without disturbing your emc1 setup. The same is true of the HEAD version of AXIS when used with emc2.
