Just registered here to thank your for your effort scotta!
Beeing new to linux and linux cnc everything went pretty smooth until i tried to get qtpyvcp running on my raspi 4.
I just wanted to install your deb but i get an error when i try to install it (raspbian buster):
Code:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo dpkg -i vtk_8.2.0-1_armhf.deb
dpkg-deb: error: 'vtk_8.2.0-1_armhf.deb' is not a Debian format archive
dpkg: error processing archive vtk_8.2.0-1_armhf.deb (--install):
dpkg-deb --control subprocess returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
vtk_8.2.0-1_armhf.deb
however i think my previous attempt was pretty similar to yours. I downloaded the VTK 8.2 sources and successfully compiled it using cmake and installed it with make install. (did not change any configs)
I also commented out VTK in the qtpyvcp setup.py file which enabeled me to install it without errors. However when i try to run the sample config i get an
Code:
from vtk_backplot import VTKBackPlot
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/qtpyvcp-0.3.8+20.g5a772cb5.dirty-py2.7.egg/qtpyvcp/widgets/display_widgets/vtk_backplot/vtk_backplot.py", line 17, in <module>
import vtk.qt
ImportError: No module named qt
error.
So next i added your line to my .xsessionrc file (and rebooted). Unfortunately it still does not work. Qtpyvcp seems to be unable to find my VTK install. Is there anything i am missing? Does your .deb package fix this?
