I know it's been a long time since anyone has posted in this thread...

I'm wondering however if any progress has been made toward getting the joystick (xbox controller in my case) to work in Kstars.

I have noticed that the Mac OS now has drivers built into the OS for Xbox controllers. I can join my wireless controller to the Mac and the buttons are all detected.

I read earlier in this thread that one could build the driver. I am having issues getting cmake to work though. When I run cmake it fails with errors.
I followed the process to install brew but

When I try to load the joystick driver then EKOS just doesn't connect at all.

I'm wondering if the driver in the Mac OS conflicts with the indi driver. I'm also wondering if I fixed it so it will never work now after trying to follow this 3 year old process. lol

If we've basically burried this subject let me know and I'll try to find another solution. I would like to be able to steer the telescope without having to hold the computer so that I can look through the spotting scope without having to look back and forth between the computer and the spotting scope... would just be so convenient.

Thank you for all your work! I'm sorry I'm not a developer and can help. I never got past hello world though.

I renamed the app I had gotten to work to kstars1.app

I then downloaded the installer again and ran it.

I opened the app. I get the same error.

I then tried my renamed app, it launches still.

Hope this helps.

Hey all,

I found a work around for the Mac.

This process worked for me.

osxdaily.com/2019/02/13/fix-app-damaged-...ned-trash-error-mac/

You should be able to run this command on the newly installed app:
xattr -cr /Applications/kstars.app

I don't typically post in forums, but I was so excited I fixed it I had to create an account so I could post. Hope this helps.
