On all three GitHub pages (KStars, INDI and INDI-3rdParty) there is a very complete list of dependencies that need to be installed before trying to build the sources. Are you sure you followed those?

Ok have found and installed Libnova but I still get the following error.

ILD_TYPE=Debug ~/Projects/indi
fatal: No names found, cannot describe anything.
-- CFITSIO not found.
-- CFITSIO not found.
CMake Error at cmake_modules/FindNova.cmake:49 (message):
libnova not found. Please install libnova development package.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
CMakeLists.txt:295 (find_package)

Does anyone know if I need to install it to a specific place?

Also I am right in thinking I don't need to install Debian/Ubuntu prerequisites on a Mac?

This is the first time that you mention that you are working on a Mac. The instructions you have been following are for Ubuntu Linux specifically. Rob Lancaster has set up a GitHub project to build KStars (including INDI) on Mac. See

Well that would make a big difference, I didn't realise there were different options.

It ran for about 30 mins, but alas still an error

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/Users/chris/AstroRoot/craft-root/download/svn-src/libs/netpbm/config.mk.in'
