Raspberry Pi 4

I have no argument against that, but having tried to cut the rock64's headers into that code, theres an apparent diff in syntax between the headers used in the pi3 version, and the headers used in the rock64. And that diff got me lost, fast. Both are broadcom stuff, so I would have assumed more similarity

I was going to some real turning with RPi4 and mesa 7i76e. But...
It runs the axis fine, controls the spindle and all that. It does work.
Also feels pretty responsive with the 1920x1080 touch screen. Not bad.
But I use andypugh's LatheMacro a lot, I would say I am dependent on it
for manual work. But there are missing python modules used, and wheb
trying to find them, they seem to be old and depreceated. Python-rsvg
Is the one that stopped my, but I think there are more along the line,
there is a message that No Xlib module.
Is gladevcp not going to work in buster? What are the thoughts here?

That seems promising !
Thank you.

I think you can pull them from older distributions, but ya in general python 2 libraries which linxcnc uses extensively is depreciated

There are certainly issues with some of them, but some are in Sid, so being missing from Buster seems a bit odd.

I thought that I had satisfied those dependencies in my own build, but have to admit that I haven't tried running anything GladeVCP on my setup.

Andy was that on raspbian RPi4 or on Intel buster? It seems to me the two are not exactly the same.

I'll see if I can find older versions of the packages. I read that the missing packages are old and
not maintained since years. So there shouldn't be any changes and should work
