Dear Philipe,
Thank you for the answers. After "sudo apt-get install subversion" it indeed carried out the next command without poblems. But then, after copy paste the next step, it says This:
~ $ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ~/Projects/trunk/libindi
-bash: cmake: command not found :(
I am using Jessie with Raspberry 3
I 'll now try the UBUNTU-mate maybe that gives less problems.

Dear René.

Did you install Jessie light version?. For me with Jessie "standard" and RPI2 it works without any issue. I don't thinks so this is related to the RP3!

Anyway it looks you don't have the build-essential installed (compiler, linker and other development tools) on your Raspberry. Please try to install it with "sudo apt-get install build-essential" and try again.

You do not need to compile INDI! Just installed the ready-built Debian packages that I linked before. Just download, extract the .tar.gz file, and then run sudo dpkg -i *.deb inside the directory, that's all. If you use Ubuntu on the Raspberry PI, then just add my PPA and get INDI and any 3rd party driver via sudo apt-get install

I now have installed indilib on the pi with ubuntu mate on it. Now make connection with Ekos in Kstars on my desktop. But I cannot find yet the IP adres and port of the PI. Once that is solved I hope to connect the ZWO asi cam and the LX200 of the telescope in the garden dome ( C9,25 on Losmandy G11 mount with FS2 )
Thanks for the helping advices,
Rene :)

ifconfig returns the IP address. Port is always 7624 unless you change it to something else.

Hi!

Sorry if that has been asked before ...

... I was wondering what happens if EKOS and RPi loose connection. Will the INDI server continue without receiving commands from the Ekos client? Or must there be an active connection between the two all the time?

Thanks and clear skies!

There must be an active connection all the time in order to command the devices. If Ekos is disconnected from the RPi, the INDI server will continue running but will not take any action.

is this right?
"Since INDI v1.2.0, you need Raspian Jessie to install the packages."
Am I wasting my time trying to install INDI in UBUNTU MATE?

I tried to run this from the command line as instructed here:
indilib.org/download/raspberry-pi/category/6-raspberry-pi.html
sudo apt-get install cdbs libcfitsio3-dev libnova-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev libjpeg-dev libusb-dev libtiff5-dev libftdi-dev fxload libkrb5-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev dcraw libgphoto2-dev libgsl0-dev dkms libboost-regex-dev libgps21 libdc1394-22-dev

I got response:
"Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Note, selecting 'libgsl-dev' instead of 'libgsl0-dev'
E: Unable to locate package libgps21"

and it halted there.
Can it be run without libgps21? Is it in a different location or no longer required?

thanks,
Malcolm

If you already have Ubuntu, then just use the PPA.
