Any chance the KStars-INDI-Mac-Dev script will build on a new M1 Chip Mac soon? I tried it, but saw a bunch of link errors:

"ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture arm64"

So I believe the current build will run on Silicon using Rosetta, but also that a good portion of it should be universal binaries.  Is this correct from what you can see?  My current system is Intel so I don’t know how it looks on the other system.

As for building on a Silicon device, I think that a number of binary files compiled by vendors for drivers would be Intel based.  But this should still work with Rosetta I would think?  Again I don’t know since I don’t have the system.

where were the errors?  With INDI I assume?

 

Yes, it seems to run fine with Rosetta, but I'm talking about building from code. It fails with many link errors as noted above. I didn't look into script settings or Xcode config or Qt config or any other deep troubleshooting - wanted to know if the consensus thought I should expect it to build on an M1 machine or not? Doesn't look like it.

What is the current status with respect to running on Apple Silicon M1 chip based machines? Rosetta2 or native?

Trying to build latest on 11.2.3 MacBook Air.  See this:

Anyone else trying Rob's new build script with the included Qt? I like the idea much better, but it's not compiling for me on 11.2.3 with XCode 12.4. Something in indiserver is failing:

[123/501] Building CXX object CMakeFiles/indidriverstatic.dir/libs/indibase/thread/indisinglethreadpool.cpp.o

I just tried It, it looks like somebody made an INDI change that was not Mac friendly.  Here was the error:

FAILED: CMakeFiles/indidriverstatic.dir/libs/indibase/timer/inditimer.cpp.o<strong>/Users/rlancaste/AstroRoot/craft-root/download/git/libs/indiserver/libs/indibase/timer/inditimer.cpp:125:31: </strong><strong>error: </strong><strong>no member named 'max' in namespace 'std'; did you mean 'fmax'?</strong>    return d->timerId != -1 ? std::max(remainingTimer(d->timerId), 0) : 0;<strong>                              ^~~~~~~~</strong>                              fmax

I will check it out, its probably a real quick fix

Yep, it was a simple fix, I just submitted a pull request.  github.com/indilib/indi/pull/1396

When I am in "Object detail" under Mac Kstars 3.5.2 there is no image there. When I click on it I got:
"Unable to create io-slave. Can not find 'kioslave5' executable at '/Applications/kstars.app/Contents/MacOS, /Applications/kstars.app/Contents/libexec, /Applications/kstars.app/Contents/libexec/kf5, /Users/rlancaste/AstroRoot/craft-root/lib/libexec/kf5'"

Where I can report it ? Is there any quick fix?
Kstars was installed via home-brew cask

Please install KStars from the KDE download page, or you can try building the latest GIT using my script.  I was not involved in creating a homebrew cask and don't know if it builds/installs KStars properly with all the files it needs to work.

Now seeing this error trying to build kguiaddons:

Hi, sorry I missed this message, but when I was building the new Mac DMG, I encountered the same problem.  Apparently the craft recipe is trying to use a dependency that doesn't exist on Macs.  I think I managed to change the recipe to avoid this.  It should work now.
