Error attempting to install QtVCP using the 2.8 script from Phil.

LCNC 2.8.2
Python2 appears to be the default:

MILL@MILL:~
$ python --version
Python 2.7.16

Terminal error when script is run:
MILL@MILL:~/Downloads
$ ./qtvcp.exe

Warning: Spoiler!


I would like to have the QT designer, but it's not critical.  I selected option 3 to reproduce the error.

If I select option 1, I get:
Installation complete, QtVCP screens are now available.

However, when I attempt to run LCNC and select a QtVCP GUI, I get this:
Warning: Spoiler!


So... any ideas?

Thanks,
Ralph

Something is obviously wrong there, it is installing python3 packages rather than python2.
Are you using the LinuxCNC Buster ISO?

EDIT: A quick look at Git shows that the install_script does not exist in 2.8 branch. I will try to get to this later today.

So it's not me?  That'd be a first.

FYI - using MX per Snowgoer's instructions.  Stopped at the buildbot step and substituted "2.8-rtpreempt" for "master."

How did you run the Qt install_script?

EDIT: Attached is an untested script that will hopefully work on 2.8. I don't have a machine setup to test it on so let me know how it goes, if it fails then I will make a machine to test it on. You will need to remove the .txt extesion and make it executable.

I ran it by clicking the link in the installation guide, copying the script text, and pasting it in to a blank file.  Then changed permissionts to run as executable and changed extension to .exe.

Then ran $./Downloads/qtvcp.exe from the command line.

I'll have a go at the new script right now.  BRB.

EDIT - I'm back.

So... good news, bad news.  QtVCP screens are now loading.

But an error again when trying to install the designer:

cannot continue designer installation

Any thoughts?  I can live with this as-is, but it'd be nice to eventually be able to edit stuff.

This indicates that libpyqt5_py2.so.tar.gz was not installed. That should be installed by the LinuxCNC package, it does show up here on a MX19 machine that I ran up.
There is a copy of the required file attached if you want to try copying it to:/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/qtvcp/designer/x86_64/qt5.11/ then running the script again.

I don't seem to have a 5.11 folder.  I've got qt5.5, 5.7, and 5.9, but no 5.11.

Hmm, that is strange, it is there in the source:

github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/tree/2.8/li...tvcp/designer/x86_64

EDIT: I can see why, it need to be added to the Makefile after lines 669 and 687
github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/2.8/src/Makefile

EDIT2: I have pushed the changes so when Buildbot is finished you should be good to go.

Thanks for the help.  So I should run the script again as-is, or is there some other prerequisite I need to get 5.11 before I do the script?

You can either wait until the buildbot finishes, do an update/upgrade then run the new script which should be installed.

or

Create a 5.11 directory (as sudo) then copy the .gz file (as sudo) I posted earlier then run the script you ran earlier.
