I managed to create and run the script at the start of this thread and it seemed to install OK until I got to the part where it asked for the "base directory". Not knowing what was meant, I tried a few directories then gave up and selected exit, not knowing if this would terminate the entire install or just the final 3 option choice (GUI editor etc).
So now I'm not clear what if anything I've installed. I can see the qtvcp file in usr/bin.
The next question was how to actually run QtVCP, assuming I'd got something here to run - do I select a config from the LinuxCNC Config Selector? When I do so (sim.qtvcp_screens.industrial_lathe_wear), I get a terminate with error. Trouble is, by this stage I've stumbled a few times and don't know which step is actually the issue.
Could someone advise where I have gone wrong here? Many thanks.
Stepping back here, I'm hoping to install Andy Pugh's macros in a GUI so I can use them. The Probe Basic Lathe config doesn't seem to support them and installation of the macros with gmoccapy sounds a little tricky (I have gmoccapy installed and running OK). Should I simply default back to the Axis GUI and hope that makes life more simple?
