Trying the uparport driver:


1. build linuxCNC with '--enable-simulator'
===========================================

This now compiles uparport.c,h into hal_parport

2. for now, manual step required - make rtapi_app setuid root
=============================================================

so uparport can gain parport register access privileges:

chown root ../bin/rtapi_app
chmod 4755 ../bin/rtapi_app

3: to give it a spin, run demo in this directory:
=================================================
halcmd -f signal.hal

this wiggles parport pins 2,3,4,5,6,7 with a frequency settable in the gladevp panel.
