@knro: I made a couple of small changes to the skywatcherAltAz driver to get it working with my AZ-EQ6. I compiled the changed version according to the instructions on github. I ran these new versions on a plain raspbian system (most recent buster). Because nothing else astronomy related is on that system, I started indiserver with the changed drivers and connected KStars from my PC to that remote system. Everything worked well. But I want to apply these changes to my Stellarmate OS, also. I first tried to just copy the binary from /usr/bin from my raspbian system to Stellarmate. I did also chmod and chown the indi_skywatcherAltAz, but I already was sceptical as I noticed that my newly compiled binary has 584k and the respective binary in the Stellarmate OS only 90k. I guess, all dependencies are built into my binary and since only indi core is on that system it came out bigger ? Anyhow, the copied binary did not work within the Stellarmate OS. It did just crash. Could you pls. give a brief instruction what I have to do, to compile these drivers on my Stellarmate OS so that they also run on Stellarmate ?
Many thanks !
