Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Working complex Lua Modules into Mach4
« on: March 12, 2021, 03:20:21 PM »
Mach4GUIR.exe unfortunately won't work since the other computer is a Linux machine. There haven't been any successful attempts to get Mach4 running on Linux, has there? I think LinuxCNC got that side of the CNC world covered well enough, probably.
But yep, compiling it outside of Mach4 and then copying the modules into Mach4's Module directory was what I was expecting. Glad to know that it is at least possible. I just have to figure out how to get the build scripts to stop looking for a compiler that isn't there.
In the meantime I convinced my other team member to try something that uses vanilla TCP/IP on her end. It isn't as nice as the server/listener that used Websockets but hopefully it will do.
