I decided I wanted to try the newer stuff in Kstars 3.3.7 (especially the new ASTAP Astrometry...

I have :
- Windows 10
- Visual Studio Comunity 2017
- followed instructions for installing & building KDE from windows Here
-Finally, ran

craft kstars

then
craft --run kstars

SCreen fires up fine & all runs great...

BUT when I try to connect to a virtualbox Ubuntu, with the latest build of INDI on it, the ccd_simulator crashes... no matter what debug I turn on, I do not get any meaningful output in the logs at all - just the telescope_simulator and ccd_simulator connects but then BOOM... kstars exists!

I tried the stock 3.3.6 install & it works perfectly.... any suggestions or pointers?

Addendum:
I just noticed 3.3.7 is available from the kstars download - I get the same issue with that one too!
