Testing release of SheetCam for Linux
I finally got the Linux version building and running. You can download a testing release here: https://sheetcam.com/Download/SheetCam_ ... .16-64.bin
This should run on Ubuntu 18.04 or later, Debian 10 or later. Note it is 64 bit only. For CommandCNC users, it should work with cnc-xf but not the earlier Xubuntu 32 bit.
Download the file, make it executable and run it.

Re: Testing release of SheetCam for Linux
I'm running some tests now to see if it is possible to build it on the old Ubuntu 14.04 32 bit.

Re: Testing release of SheetCam for Linux
Ok, try this 32 bit version https://sheetcam.com/Download/SheetCam_ ... .16-32.bin. It should work with Ubuntu 14.04 upwards
Re: Testing release of SheetCam for Linux

Re: Testing release of SheetCam for Linux
been running Debian 10/ buster runs fine.
installed Debian 11/bullseye..... it's looking for libreadline7...... unfortunately bullseye installs with libreadline8
libreadline7 was not available in bullseye backports.... but I installed it from buster.....
sheetcam for Linux seems to start fine
but there are a load of gtk critical errors in the terminal (could it be gtk2 ??? )

Re: Testing release of SheetCam for Linux
This is why I hate building Linux installers. Every distro and release is different. I'll build a new installer that contains libreadline.
I'm looking into producing a Flatpack release. Maybe that will be a little more portable.

Re: Testing release of SheetCam for Linux
I have just uploaded a new 64 bit release that will run on Debian 10 and 11. It also fixes a crash on closing.
https://sheetcam.com/Download/SheetCam_ ... .17-64.bin
You'll still get lots of GTK warnings. They are pretty harmless.

Re: Testing release of SheetCam for Linux
hi Les, thanks for the new one file
I've just installed it on MX-Linux 21 (Debian 11) and got a message saying update from 7.1.17 to 6.1.57

Re: Testing release of SheetCam for Linux
Yes, It's trying to sync with the current official Linux version. Obviously you don't want to install that.
Re: Testing release of SheetCam for Linux
That's strange. Wouldn't the newer version number prevent that from happening?
Re: Testing release of SheetCam for Linux
Will it run on Debian 7 Wheezy 32-bit ???

Re: Testing release of SheetCam for Linux
I just tried the 32 bit version on LinuxCNC running Wheezy and it appeared to work.
Re: Testing release of SheetCam for Linux
Please a link to the latest version 32-bit. 7.1.16 or 7.1.17 ?
" To install it, download the file then right-click on it an select 'properties'. Go to the permissions tab and make sure 'execute' is turned on. You can now simply double click on the file to install SheetCam.
If that does not work you can simply unzip the file. The data folder in the zip is a tarball containing everything you need to run SheetCam. Execute run-sheetcam to run SheetCam. "
^^^ The manual installation is up to date ? ^^^
