I follow instruction from official documentation of machinekit building fom source:

http://www.machinekit.io/docs/developing/machinekit-developing/

and I get:

...

./configure --with-platform-beaglebone

returns:

...

configure: error: Package requirements (libczmq > 4.0) were not met:

I am on:

machinekit@beaglebone:~/git/machinekitOff/src$ cat /proc/version

Linux version 3.8.13-xenomai-r79 (root@a3-imx6q-wandboard-2gb) (gcc version 4.9.2 (Debian 4.9.2-10) ) #1 Wed Jun 15 22:12:09 UTC 2016

The fastest track to upgrade to Latest Machinekit is to use packages install and not the Run-in-Place build. More: http://www.machinekit.io/docs/getting-started/installing-packages/ <http://www.machinekit.io/docs/getting-started/installing-packages/>

Thanks Cern,

installing machinekit images fixed my libczmq dependency error. I still need to build MK on BeagleBone black, since I have some custom code.

Now I am stucked at this point while issuing command:

machinekit@beaglebone:~/git/machinekitOff/src$ ./configure --with-platform-beaglebone

checking for cython... /usr/bin/cython

checking cython version... 0.21.1

checking build toplevel... /home/machinekit/git/machinekitOff

checking installation prefix... run in place

...

checking for python2... /usr/bin/python2

checking whether pydot capability required... not checking for python-pydot and xdot

checking whether to build documentation... no

checking for ANSI C header files... (cached) yes

checking for sys/wait.h that is POSIX.1 compatible... yes

checking for semtimedop... yes

checking for clock_getres... yes

checking for sincos function... yes

checking for __sincos... no

configure: Building rtapi.ini generator script

checking for Tcl configuration... configure: error: Can't find Tcl configuration definitions. Use --with-tcl to specify a directory containing fig.sh

Can somebody shed a light what to do to fix this problem? I cannot find any similar issues in machinekit github and google reveals not much to overcome this problem.

OK I managed to end ./configure with installing missing libraries.

Some of them needed lib prefix, another one again -dev when issuing sudo apt-get install [lib name]

Thanks

./configure ended succesfully after I installed missing libraries.

thx
