I have own script that compile STABLE version of kstars from sources. You can try that. gitea.nouspiro.space/nou/astro-soft-build It  is tested on 32bit raspberry pi OS but should works just fine on 64bit as well.
Just runto fetch scripts.

First time run ./install-dependencies.sh and then ./build-soft-stable.sh
 

Tks @ Tim and @ nou

There seems to have been a lot of work in this area: I also found the Avarakin/Astropi4 repository on GitHub who suggests making in Ubuntu with a makefile (editable). The Makefile needs updating to latest releases. It installs KDE (lite), MATE, lxde and Gnome.

Back to the script(s) - two questions if I may;

1 Is there a preference between Ubuntu (which AFAICS will interact with the INDI/mutlaq repository directly) and Raspberry OS? In terms of apps I would use not only KStars but also CdCiel/CCdCiel, ASTAP, FireCapture and Entangle (Nikon control). Do CCDiel / CCdiel run on KDE?

2 In terms of the GNU install routine, is it obvious which libs need to be installed to do this? In Manjaro there is a build-devel package containing all the required packages - does the same exist for Raspberry/Debian or Ubuntu?

Thanks for the help.

Best R

@ nou - sorry should have read your script before I commented: I can see the install deps list: could you point me to which are general build deps out of that list - most are obviously concerned with the actual KStars build.

Many thanks
R

These should be dependencies for KStars:
libnova-dev libcfitsio-dev zlib1g-dev libgsl-dev libraw-dev libeigen3-dev extra-cmake-modules libkf5plotting-dev libqt5svg5-dev libkf5xmlgui-dev libkf5kio-dev kinit-dev
libkf5newstuff-dev libkf5doctools-dev libkf5notifications-dev qtdeclarative5-dev libkf5crash-dev libkf5notifyconfig-dev wcslib-dev libqt5websockets5-dev xplanet xplanet-images qt5keychain-dev libsecret-1-dev breeze-icon-theme qml-module-qtquick-controls

You could drop libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-dev wx-common wx3.0-i18n libx11-dev as these are for PHD.

On Debian based distro you can try "sudo apt build-dep kstars" to install all build dependencies

Ok downloaded 64 bit raspberry OS and tested my script on my RPi 4GB. It works but I needed to lower number of parallel jobs to 2 otherwise I would run out of memory during compilation.

Hello
Late to the game...

Have been running StellarMate 64bit without a hitch... until now.

The failure comes when trying to install the ZWO ASI Filter wheel driver, and I get the message:

'apt-key' is deprecated

I'm rather new to this, and all of the answers are somewhat beyond my capabilites at the moment.

Just received a notice that 64-bit was ready for prime time from Mr. Gordon Hollingsworth.

Can someone please direct me to the steps I need to take to update the ZWO Indi drivers on my 8GB Pi 4?

I can follow instructions well, but there are a lot of holes in this old CPU on my shoulders

Thanks in advance.

David D

Hi David,

They're already included, no need to install additional drivers. The driver is called "ASI EFW".

Hi Jasem, for those of using Debian-based Raspberry OS, who need to build from source, can you clarify something in the Tutorials please.

I can download and install everything according to the Tuturial EXCEPT the individual camera driver which I need, which in my case is ASI.

I can find the driver in the 3rdparty repository and build that. I can find, but can not build, the libasi package on which it depends. The Tutorial is vague about how to download and install the dependency. I have tried

$ apt-get install libasi ,or lib-asi, or indi-asi

and variations on this, which do not work.

I have tried to git clone the path to the lib, eg git clone github.com/indilib/indi-3rdparty/tree/master/indi-asi

What am I doing wrong?

Tks

R

Just one more thought: there exist ways to convert from Ubuntu packages to Debian packages, but they require access to the deb-src version of the repository. Does the Indi repository have such access and if so what is the URL and the Key?

Many thanks

R

In case this helps, I had no trouble building the libasi from indi-3rdparty v1.9.3.  This was on the same Raspberry Pi OS Bullseye 64bit system that I used to test Jerry's script (above, with some feedback provided on his Github issues page).

This is v helpful. As I am (obvs) new, could you set out the full path in the cmake first line ie /…./  ?

Does cmake call the necessary files from the repo directly?

There are pieces here which must be so obvs to experienced users they go without saying  

Many thanks

The cmake and make commands were given from the build/libasi/ working directory.

I have omitted the contents under indi-3rdparty-1.9.3 from this post.

If the equivalent commands in your environment don't work, then perhaps you'll get some clue as to the problem in the cmake output?
