Compiling EMC - steppermod.o ?

["Ryan Verner" <xfesty-at-computeraddictions.com.au>]

I've successfully compiled EMC.  I've taken notes on each step on doing this
under debian, and I'll be sure to post it here.

The emc sim program works perfectly

BUT:

The normal emc program will not run, complaining that it can't find the
steppermod module.  I can't find steppermod anywhere, not even with a
egrep - only references to it.

I used "alien" to convert the emc-source RPM off the BDI linux cd,
dpkg --unpack'ed it, and discovered these missing files in
/usr/local/emc/plat/rtlinux_3_0/lib.

I then copied these .o's into where emc was looking for them,
/usr/src/emc/plat/rtlinux_linux-2_2_19/lib

I then tried to run ./emc.run but the remove_realtime_base removed a whole
heap of modules, then complained about them not being there.  So I
chmod -x'ed the script.

Then I got "invalid parameter parm_MOTION_TO_ADDRESS" from steppermod.o -
assumingly because its compiled under a different kernel, or its now called
differently.  I've tried substituting this with other drivers in the .ini
file, but I get even bigger errors.

I need to compile this steppermod.o from somewhere - but where?  I can't
seem to find it.

Thanks

- Ryan
