I need so urgently a linux driver for SMC 800 Stepper Motor Card.
I am searching for it for my research in university labors of Hannover.
I have a driver source code too. May be we can try to convert it from source code to availible for linux but i dont know how to do it.Have i just got to compile the source code with g++ ? the code is in C programmed. If you help me i will be thankfully.
Regards

Source code usually comes as a compressed archive,
with several files, including instructions. If you only have
C source files with no documentation, it would be hard to advise you.
See if there is a script called configure or a file called makefile.
Most of all look for a file named README.

Those SMC cards are not well known in North America. If your goal is to drive motors a simpler card that accepts signals from the parallel port might save a lot of headaches. Then again, you said this is research so maybe the goal is completely different.
I can't be much help on this but possibly the developers at linuxcnc.org have some ideas. They have a mailing list and can also be found on IRC most evenings.WARNING: I may be telling you more than I know !
