You'll need to build Indi as well. You'll need Indi 2 for the latest Kstars (3.6.3).

Same here! And yes, I've built and installed newest INDILib from github upstream beforehand.

I see now that the requirement is for INDI 2.0. I've also downloaded and rebuilt indi and indi-3rdparty bits - no joy. How do we get the 2.0 built done?

@fmozza: Yesterday I pulled the newest code directly from gitlab and tried to build with QTCreator <strong>from scratch</strong>. Whereas newest INDLib builds, KStars aborts and several MOC's do not compile leading to missing 'alignadapter', 'captureadapter' and so on.
Very surprisingly I was able to build KStars directly in command line mode. But as You state, all the parts of the INDI-Toolbar are missing. Seems these are exactly the modules mentioned above, that are required for INDI-Toolbar.

So what are we doing wrong? Nobody else with the same symptoms?

BTW: Omitting all the commits from January (i.e going back to december state) works perfectly!!!

I first tried rebuilding in Qt including re-running CMAKE. Maybe that will work on Linux I'm not sure. On Mac it didn't work for me - same symptoms of no Indi and no Ekos. I had to rebuild my environment from scratch and then rebuild within Qt to get it working.

Same here on Linux. Latest git-pulled Indi and KStars -> no Indi/Ekos available.
What confuses me is this: Starting indiserver gives

trifid@XPC-SH87R:~/Astro/indi/build$ indiserver
2023-01-24T13:54:16: startup: indiserver
Usage: indiserver [options] driver [driver ...]
Purpose: server for local and remote INDI drivers
INDI Library: 1.9.8
Code v1.9.7-27-g5e98060b8. Protocol 1.7.

V1.9.8? Shouldn't that be 2.0x by now?

Guys do you run "make install" after compilation?

I just compiled latest INDI & Kstars with ekos just fine using my script nouspiro.space/?page_id=209

My indiserver output this

...And yes, I've built and installed ... (see my message )

I do run "sudo make install" in my standard routine.

I found indiserver resides in two directories: /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin

The one in /usr/bin refers to "INDI Library: 2.0.0" whereas the one in /usr/local/bin refers to "INDI Library: 1.9.8" When I just run "indiserver" the one in /usr/local/bin is used. No idea why.

I just noticed running "cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo [path]" returns:

-- The following OPTIONAL packages have not been found:
* INDI (required version >= 2.0.0), Astronomical instrumentation control, <www.indilib.org>
Support for controlling astronomical devices on Linux with KStars.

despite git-pulling, compiling and installing Indi just a minute earlier.

Libindiclient 2.0 is present here:

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libindiclient.a
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libindiclient.so
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libindiclient.so.2
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libindiclient.so.2.0.0

Alfred it seems like you build indi without "-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr" once and now it use that. I think you need to delete indi files from /usr/local to get it working.

/usr/local/[bin|lib] have priority over /usr/[bin|lib]

Thanks a lot, Nou, for looking into it! I do compile indi like this: "cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo [path]" so everything should be installed in /usr once I run sudo make install, shouldn't it? As far as I can see the required files are present there. I just deleted everything related to indi in /usr/local/..., ran "make clean", re-compiled and installed Indi but KStars still complains Indi 2.0 was not present.
