Pin: release a=sarge-backports
Pin-Priority: 200

/etc/apt/apt.conf

APT::Default-Release "stable";
APT::Cache-Limit "134217728";

1.2. Installing Kernel and RTAI modules

 su -
 apt-get update
 apt-get -u upgrade
 apt-get install linux-image-2.6.12.6-rtai rtai-modules-2.6.12.6-rtai
 reboot

1.3. Installing Other Packages

After booting with the new kernel

 su -
 apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.12.6-rtai \
                 rtai-dev-2.6.12.6-rtai \
                 python2.4 \
                 python2.4-tk \
                 python2.4-dev \
                 python2.4-numarray \
                 yapps2 \
                 tcl8.4-dev \
                 tk8.4-dev \
                 libgtk2.0-dev \
                 libncurses5-dev \
                 libreadline5-dev \

                 sudo 
 apt-get install -t sarge-backports \
                    python2.4-imaging \
                    python2.4-imaging-tk 

#you will need these to build the documentation
apt-get install latex2html 

preview-latex-style 

latex-xft-fonts 

libaiksaurus0c102 

libgnomeprintui2.2-dev 

imagemagick
apt-get install -t sarge-backports 

lyx


exit

Because of dependencies the following packages will be installed too rtai-dev-2.6.12.6-rtai -> gcc-2.95 cpp-2.95 yapps2 -> yapps2-runtime tk8.4-dev -> libice-dev libsm-dev libx11-dev libxext-dev libxt-dev -> libxv-dev x-dev xlibs-static-dev zlib1g-dev libgtk2.0-dev -> libatk1.0-dev libexpat1-dev libfontconfig1-dev -> libfreetype6-dev libglib2.0-dev libpango1.0-dev -> libxft-dev libxrender-dev render-dev xlibmesa-dev -> xlibmesa-gl-dev xlibmesa-glu-dev latex2html -> tetex-base tetex-bin tetex-extra libkpathsea3 libwww0 libaiksaurus0c102 -> libaiksaurus-data imagemagick -> libmagick6 lyx -> lyx-common lyx-qt libgnomeprintui2.2-dev -> libart-2.0-dev libgnomecanvas2-dev libgnomeprint2.2-dev



2. Compiling EMC2

Follow the instructions on Installing_EMC2

2.1. Compiling

 cd emc2-head/src
 export KDIR=/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.12.6-rtai
 ./configure --with-python=python2.4 --enable-run-in-place --enable-build-documentation
 make
 su -c "make setuid"
 cd ..

if you don't want to build documentation, remove --enable-build-documentation



3. Udev Configuration

 su -
 echo "KERNEL=\"RTAI_SHM\",      SYMLINK=\"rtai_shm\",     MODE=\"0666\"" >/etc/udev/emc2.rules
 cd /etc/udev/rules.d
 ln -s ../emc2.rules 010_emc2.rules
 /etc/init.d/udev restart
 exit
