If you got the pcnec executable file, just copy it to a directory included in your PATH environment
variable, for example /usr/local/bin.
Then try to execute it typing, from the shell, pcnec -h ; if you get an error like
"command not found", you have not copied the pcnec executable to a directory in your PATH; in this
case you can run program typing ./pcnec -h from the directory within the binary file.
Pcnec was written by Paolo Subiaco, and you are free to download the software, interface schematic and
information from the url http://www.creasol.it/equipment/.
You need a PC compatible with a parallel port (don't worry if it is
shared with your printer or scanner), with GNU/Linux or Windows/Cygwin operating systems
It does NOT run correctly on every PC because some parallel port interface
are not very low impedance so it can be little reflections on the parallel cable:
using a flat cable to connect interface to the PC, long as minimum as possible can be
a good chance to get interface working on every PC!
In order to compile and install Pcnec on your system, type the following in
the base directory of the Pcnec distribution:
% ./configure
% make
% make install
Since Pcnec uses autoconf you should have not trouble
compiling it.
