GPX Plugin for Octoprint incompatible?

[Kent J]

Hi Im looking for a way to use slic3r/Cura to slice and print onto CTC Dual (i.e Replicator 1 Dual) via USB. I thought that I would use Octoprint and the GPX Plugin. However I am unable to install the plugin. On the PLugins manager it says incompatible. I tried to install it using command line and URL but both gave the same errors. I am using Windows 7. Is this compatible?

What is the Octoprint version? It may be too old.

It's the Windows bit that is incompatible. I only build a source archive and let pip build the binary using gcc. Most Windows Python setups aren't prepared to build binary extensions and even the ones that are setup are configured to use msvc.

I did fix the Windows serial support bit in GPX at some point so that is no longer the blocker, but now the problem is that I don't have an easy way to test the plugin in Windows.
