We tried installing wpiutil on orangepi with Ubuntu forcal server Linux, and we got the following error:

n file included from build/temp.linux-aarch64-cpython-38/gensrc/wpiutil/DataLog.cpp:5:

                  Python recognizes 'wpiutil.src' as an importable package,
                  but it is not listed in the `packages` configuration of setuptools.
  
                  'wpiutil.src' has been automatically added to the distribution only
                  because it may contain data files, but this behavior is likely to change
                  in future versions of setuptools (and therefore is considered deprecated).
  
                  Please make sure that 'wpiutil.src' is included as a package by using
                  the `packages` configuration field or the proper discovery methods
                  (for example by using `find_namespace_packages(...)`/`find_namespace:`
                  instead of `find_packages(...)`/`find:`).
  
                  You can read more about "package discovery" and "data files" on setuptools
                  documentation page.

we tried Installing the library manual using the wheel file, update and upgrade pip and other important libraries.

See Python Installation Guide — FIRST Robotics Competition documentation… specifically, the “Linux ARM Coprocessor” section for installing a wheel.

If that doesn’t work, note the section on “Supported Operating Systems and Architectures”:

  • Ubuntu 22.04, 64 bit. Other Linux distributions with glibc >= 2.35 may work, but are unsupported

If your orangepi is using Ubuntu 20.04 (focal), then it is not possible to make it work without an enormous amount of effort.

Thanks! it installed most of the libraries, but we are still having trouble installing cscore, ntcore and robotpy-apriltag. Do you have any tips on the topic?

Is there a different error message or the same error message as above?

Never mind, it’s work!!! Thank you very much!!!
