I’m finally getting somewhere. I kept getting nowhere so I decided to start with a clean slate before diving in a bleeding edge branch.
That’s the future thing to try when I have a working something. Easier to compare about what’s not working.

basically i 
- copied the ~/linuxcnc folder to ~/linuxcnc-dev 
- downloaded lineardeltakins kinematics files from jepler branch
- changed the Makefile so they would compile (who had imagined I copy-paste with vi faster than with the mouse :-) )
- cd to /src 
- $ .autogen.sh
- $ ./configure --with-xenomai --with-posix --with-platform=beaglebone
- $ make
- $ sudo make setuid
- $. ../scripts/rip-environment

now i commented out the line in ~.bashrc but somehow the configuration path keeps pointing to the original ~linuxcnc/ directory
is that a known issue? I checked and tried changing in /scripts/linuxcnc the path but no avail.

as a quick and dirty solution i set op my .hal and .ini files with paths to my development folder and placed them in the original folder. This work and loads the lineardeltakins kinematics.

Tomorrow I’ll research the homing and setting of the variables (Delta Radius, offsets etcetera) of the kinematics thru the .ini file
