Dave,

There is something wrong with the dependencies on you machine. py-markdown includes wheel.mk,
which depends on devel/py-build, which in turn depends on devel/py-packaging, so you should have
py312-packaging installed. Or is it an older version?

There is also a vendored packaging-24.2 in setuptools in site-packages/setuptools/_vendor.

Please, double check the packages you have installed.

Kind regards,
Adam
