bCNC on macOS: numpy v2 breaking changes and compiler compatibility issues
Summary
A user shares their discovery that the bCNC CNC g-code sender stopped working on macOS due to breaking changes in numpy v2, and that installing numpy<2 resolves the issue. However, they encounter a secondary problem where numpy v1 fails to compile on macOS Sonoma because the system compiler is too old to handle C++ type_traits headers. The post highlights frustrations with Python's dependency management, error reporting, and cross-language bridge complexities.

· 5 pulledYay! I have found a solution to why the quite excellent python-language g-code sender 'bCNC' suddenly will not run on MacOS.
Now I just need a solution to the problem with the solution!
pip install 'numpy<2', it seems its requirements do not know about the breaking changes in numpy v2.
numpy1 won't compile, I suspect because the system compiler on MacOS Sonoma is too old.
continually bewildered by its error reporting, package system hellscape and janky cross-language bridges
