Hi Nou
The modifications you made worked perfectly!!
Best regards

Hi Nou, thank you about your wonderful job. I have installed kstar successfully in PI4 with Ubuntu 22.04, but I have an issue with PHD2 installation. This is out of this thread, but I would understand. The PHD2 download page redirect me to this site github.com/OpenPHDGuiding/phd2/wiki/BuildingPHD2OnLinux, I have added the phd2 repository according to the procedure, but when I launch the command sudo apt-get install phd2, the command returns me "phd2:depends: libindi1 but it is not installable". Does PHD2 depend on launchpad.net/~mutlaqja/+archive/ubuntu/ppa, ? or do I have to compile phd2 from source?

Regards and thanks
Sergio

Actually in my scripts there is also PHD2 at the end. Just delete that "exit" line before that section and you will get PHD2 compiled.

hi dusan!
thank you for your effort - i made a little walkthrough video - hope it helps others: Setting up a PI 4 & 5 for use with INDI yours wolfi

Nou
Would it be possible for your scripts to inform the user which version of INDI and KStars they were going to build?
Regards

It’s easy to work out which are the stable versions due to the bi-monthly (every two months) releases. As the banner at the top of this page says “INDI Library v2.0.6 is Released (02 Feb 2024)” and similarly with KStars 3.6.9. Both were released at the beginning of February and Nou updated his scripts within days. We can expect Indi 2.0.7 and KStars 3.6.10 around the beginning of April.

Hi NOUCompiles ok INDI and Kstars but when you compile PHD2 it stays here, what could be happening?
Best regards

[ ! -d ../build-phd2 ] && cmake -B ../build-phd2 ../phd2 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release || { echo "PHD2 failed aca"; exit 1; }

Ok PHD2 portion was disabled for so long that it broke down. I added option that if you pass phd2 as argument into script it will build it. It will build older version 2.6.12 as newer require cmake 3.24 which is AFAIK not available on raspberry os.

Hi. Today I have tried to compile PHD2 unsuccessfully. Then I found the issue that is mentioned here. I am wondering if kstar compiling can be done by cmake 3.24. My O/S is Ubuntu 22.04. Do you suggest a different O/S. ?What is your environment?

I am also on Ubuntu 22.04. Try compile 2.6.12 that should work with older cmake.

Ok. Thank you. We will check with the next phd2 and kstar releases.
BTW: by Remote desktop of Windows I connect Pi. What is your solution?

Hi,

according to the documentation nou's scripts should work on any Debian-based distro. This would include Pi OS bullseye 64bit. However compilation on that distro fails repeatedly within the indi-3rdparty section at libahp-gt compilation/linking time. Error is "File format not recognized." for '/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libahp_gt.so' by ld. File is actually a 64bit object as expected.

Apologies for not supplying exact error messages - I am currently trying the same installation on Ubuntu 22.04 after it was mentioned within this thread and that seems to at least get over the indi-3rdparty section that breaks on Pi OS (but I would prefer to run the whole thing on Pi OS). If required I can set up the system again on a new SD card with Pi OS and supply exact info. But it can be reproduced quite easily.

Steps to reproduce: follow the installation instructions. Fresh install of Pi OS bullseye 64bit (desktop), get the scripts via git clone, run `./install-dependencies.sh` and run either "build-soft-stable.sh" or "build-soft-latest.sh" (it fails on either). Compilation runs fine till the indi-3rdparty section where the error occurs and the script stops.

Is this a known issue?
Is there anything that would need to be setup/configured/installed prior to cloing and running the scripts? I suspect that the gcc/cc/ld setup on Pi OS is different from Ubuntu which causes this issue.

Thank you for any insights,
Michael
