Kstars crashed, Not I don't have any profiles and can't create a new one.
I'm guessing a files corrupted, anyone know where it's stored on a Mac these days. I've tried looking for a applicationsupport/kstars folder but I don't have one nor od I seem to have a users.sqlite file.
Just trying to get running for the first decent night in months.

If I'm understanding your question correctly, to stop kstars launching if you go into Stellarmate dashboard, then goto software, there is a checkbox to launch Kstars that you just uncheck.

Big thumbs up from me for StellarMate O/S.
My Pi 4 arrived at lunchtime, after less than an hour this evening I'm set up, everything seems to be working. First time I can ever remember a problem free set up of anything for astro photography.
I've been using Kstars / EKOS for a while now so I have had the advantage of that. Have had driver issues, connection frustrations etc etc. I'm no programmer so I was worried about going down he Pi route,
The StellarMate O/S was so easy, StellarMate is in server mode and I'm connected from my MacBook Pro with no cables at all. Although I will probably run an ethernet cable from the router to the pi.
Couple of question when I'm done using Ekos do I need to power off the Pi using StellarMate Web Manager?
Secondly will the StellarMate app help me at all when using StellarMate in server mode?

I'm trying to build Kstars on a Mac using this Github page
github.com/rlancaste/kstars-on-osx-craft
When I run the build command
~/Projects/kstars-on-osx-craft/build-kstars.sh
It runs for a while then I get an error message, is it just me getting this, or are other in the same boat?

Not sure if it helps you, but if you switch mode from local to remote Indi webcam is an option in the drop down.

Well that would make a big difference, I didn't realise there were different options.
It ran for about 30 mins, but alas still an error

Ok have found and installed Libnova but I still get the following error.
ILD_TYPE=Debug ~/Projects/indi
fatal: No names found, cannot describe anything.

Does anyone know if I need to install it to a specific place?
Also I am right in thinking I don't need to install Debian/Ubuntu prerequisites on a Mac?

Well I got the visual interface of CDMake to do something, but got an error

Looks like I'm still missing something, will have to see if I can figure that out now.
It will have to wait, as I have clear skies again tonight.

No I didn't, so as expected I've not managed to compile the build correctly.
I seem to be having an issue with the CDMake step. I think I must be getting the file path wrong. Does the /usr in PREFIX=/usr need to be pointed at the right path.
The CDMake install has a visual interface, but I'm not sure where to point that either.
