Hello,

I am trying to build a V3.6.2 from source. So I download the kstars-stable-3.6.2 from invent.kde.org/education/kstars/´/tree/stable-3.6.2. I follow the instruction of forum message Jasem.
Installed first Indi, then 3rd party indi driver and then kstars. I succeded with the kstars-master source, the 6.3.4 version.
But with the 3.6.2, I get errors during the make. I join the file containing all the make message.
Having QHY camera, the 3.6.2 is the last version with no issue about their connection. As, it is the first time I compile kstars, I do it first on a laptop, but the goal is to compile on my RPI4.
Other question: Could it be possible to build a deb package from source ?
Thanks.

Nobody build from sources ?

I understand that line 146 and 886, return 1 and not 0. True ? If so, why

Hiya - not sure I can help - but I regularly use Nou’s setup - has always worked great for me. I have kstars/ekos on a bare-bones rpi4. I have 3.6.3 stable working great.

gitea.nouspiro.space/nou/astro-soft-build

Good luck.

I want to run the V3.6.2 because I have two QHY cameras and with the V3.6.3 and also the V3.6.4 beta, the connection doesn't go well. There is a problem either with kstars or with the indi driver. So I can't use kstars at all !

I can compile the V3.6.4 beta, the last version, named kstars-master on the site invent.kde.org/education/kstars.
But with the V3.6.2 or V3.5.9, the compilation is not successfull, always with the same errors during the make operation.
It's really annoying.
Hereunder the end of the make:

INDI and KStars are quite tied together so you can get error when building older Kstars with newer INDI and vice versa. I recomend compile INDI that correspond to KStars used.
With KStars 3.6.2 there was INDI 1.9.9 so build them together.
You can try to use this version of my script gitea.nouspiro.space/nou/astro-soft-buil...build-soft-stable.sh that will build these versions.

Thank you very much. Your script is running on the RPI4 at this time. One question: How to configure the version of Indi and 3rd party into the script please ?

After 3-4 hours, Kstars 3.6.2 is finaly installed on the RPI4 with Bulleyes. Unfortunately, QHY cameras do not connect !
On my laptop, I have the V3.6.2 bêta and the cameras connect !
Indi version seems to be the same:
- Indi Library 1.9.9 code v1.9.9 Protocol 1.7 on the RPI
- Indi Library 1.9.9 code v1.9.9-tgz Protocol 1.7 on the laptop.

Hello, I experienced similar issues with my QHY (268M under Ubuntu 22.04), but they were linked to the installed version of the QHY SDK.
I still do not understand the relationship between the QHY SDK and the indi-qhy 3rdparty driver, but in my experience, these two "interact" in some manner, and upgrading the SDK and then using Nou's install script has always resolved my connectivity issues.

Maybe the issue is missing fxload3? I added build of fxload in my build scripts. Try to run build-fxload.sh to see if it solve this issue.

Hi Nou, Thanks for the help your scripts provide for building KStars on the Raspberry Pi OS 64-bit. I have yet to try KStars 3-6-2 Indi 2.0.0 under dark skies, but things are apparently working indoors.There were some 'issues' during the build but the final result seems to be operational ....... fingers crossed!
