I got the following error on step 12.
fatal: destination path 'qtpyvcp' already exists and is not an empty directory.
ERROR: File "setup.py" not found. Directory cannot be installed in editable mode: /home/CNCMill/LinuxCNC_Install/qtpyvcp
(A "pyproject.toml" file was found, but editable mode currently requires a setup.py based build.)
not sure what to do.
The gentlemen over at Linuxcnc are saying that the MX21 I have is not going to be compatible with probe basic because of changes to the python code. Probe basic has not yet been updated to work with that change. They are recommending that I get Debian 11 or wait for Debian 12. This confuses me because MX is based off debian??
I would like to keep trying. If anyone knows what this error means and possible fixes I would like to keep trying. We are really close. Thank you all for the kind help.
This is sited as the reason for the issue.
mid way down you will see this,
python3 -m venv venv --system-site-packages
The "venv" is sited as the issue for our problems and is new.
Here is the whole text output for your reference.
