Provides non-realtime Rust bindings for the LinuxCNC hal module. Useful for writing drivers for external hardware.
Note: This only works on Linux (64 bit) currently
bindgen must be set up correctly. Follow the requirements section of its docs.
LinuxCNC is included as a submodule under ./linuxcnc-hal-sys. It must be compiled for files to be in the right places.
At minimum (on Linux Mint 19.3):
```bash apt install \ bwidget \ intltool \ kmod \ libboost-python-dev \ libglu-dev \ libgtk2.0-dev \ libmodbus-dev \ libtk-img \ libudev-dev \ libusb-1.0-0-dev \ libx11-dev \ libxinerama-dev \ libxmu-dev \ mesa-common-dev \ python \ python-tk \ tclx \ tk-dev \ yapps2
cd linuxcnc/src
./autogen.sh
./configure \ --with-realtime=uspace \ --enable-non-distributable=yes \ --disable-userspace-pci \ --disable-check-runtime-deps
make -j $(nproc) ```
There are likely a bunch of unused dependencies in the above list, but LinuxCNC's configure script is really bad at turning features on/off, so this is the list required to just build LCNC.
bash
cargo build
