This page describes how to prepare Debian Etch to compile EMC2 and AXIS.

To compile EMC2, you need a RTAI patched kernel and RTAI modules. Install them and boot with RTAI kernel.
See Debian_Etch_Compile_RTAI for more information.

1. Disabling parallel port module

Disable the kernel parallel port module, if you want to use the parallel port through EMC2.

 su -
 echo install parport_pc /bin/true >/etc/modprobe.d/emc2
 rmmod parport_pc

2. Installing Deb Packages

Install the packages as root

apt-get update
apt-get -u upgrade
apt-get install python \
                python-imaging \
                python-imaging-tk \
                python-numarray \
                python-dev \
                python-glade2 \
                tcl8.4-dev \
                tk8.4-dev \
                yapps2 \
                libgtk2.0-dev \

                libglu1-mesa \
                libglu1-mesa-dev \
                libgl1-mesa-dev \
                pciutils-dev \
                bwidget \
                git-core \

                libaiksaurus-1.2-0c2a \
                libgnomeprintui2.2-dev \
                imagemagick \
                lyx \
                dvipng
exit
