Following the instructions, things looked good until I got to thestep.

Hopefully forcing it was the right thing to do

Hi Jamie,
I had something similar and forced it too, I have not seen any negative consequences so far.
I also want to add that I may have found a better way of installing instead of installing to /usr/local as this requires sudo for 'make install'. Using -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local/Cellar/libindi/1.2.0 and -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local/Cellar/kstars/2.7 (as suggested in the homebrew FAQ) does not require sudo. After 'make' and 'make install' for INDI and KStars you have to do 'brew link libindi' (before building kstars) and 'brew link kstars'.

Awesome, all this stuff is very useful. I can't find things like that out because I have so many things installed now those errors will no longer show up on mine.

What does your dir hierarchy look like? I think that I am missing something.

I did the home-brew stuff, cloned the repo and did the curls, so I now have an IndiLib dir which I have downloaded and cloned to, which has:
where do I untar the archives? I untarred them where they sat, which sounded right - but got a
Any ideas? Thanks! (NOTE- same error if I put them underor

check my screenshot in the pdf. I had trouble with that too until I got the directories in the right spots. I tried to take a screenshot when it worked.

I was trying to go off of that - it looks like you have the files untarred a level above the indi (indi-latest) . You have a couple of other things out there that I don't have (presumably because you have built more things).



Or am I supposed to build those first?

The structure looks very similar. The indi-dsi and indi-sbig actually were attempts, but failures, so you can ignore them. As I recall the only thing I had to do was the configure and make step in the gsl folder and then it worked from there. I don't think I had to build the others. But Adam reported that this worked fine on OS X El Capitan, but he had trouble on Sierra. Did you read the post he just sent about it?

That's what I wrote above. You can install libnova with:
brew tap polakovic/astronomy
brew install polakovic/astronomy/libnova

The approach of just placing the folders in the directory doesn't really seem to work (at least for libnova and libusb).

Ok, then we will change that in the instructions. I don't know how it worked on mine then. Who knows? I only did it once.

Finally got to try this now, installing qt5 takes a VERY looooonnnngggg time lol....

You are not kidding! You can just leave it overnight and then sometimes it is not done even then.

aaaaaaaaaaaaa, and I thought it was my machine, Glad to hear it's normal...
