Scanything on Linux

Post by scarenni »

Tryin to get Scanything running on linux. cncremote complains "glibc_2.17 not found"
ubuntu 12.04 is using version 2_13, not possible to upgrade glibc
LinuxCNC V2.7.8
I cannot find "cncremote/README.txt" anywhere as to compile it. I am not a computer savvy, but with guidance i'm doing okay.
Any suggestions?

Unfortunately the minimum Ubuntu version supported is 14.04. You will be able to rebuild CNCRemote to work on that machine but Scanything won't run without glibc 2.17 or later.
CNCRemote is the link between Scanything and LinuxCNC.

Thank you for quick answer. I have been reading up on upgrading ubuntu and linuxcnc to 14.04, but have not yet found a solution or a tutorial that i am comfortable with. I suppose I have some more reading to do.
