Newbie here, so I probably did something stupid.

I cloned the indi github repo and built it according to the directions in the Developer Manual:

mkdir -p ~/Projects/build/libindi
cd ~/Projects/build/libindi
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ~/Projects/indi/libindi
sudo make install

Everything works great except for cameras.
When I say everything I mean: indi_simulator_telescope, indi_simulator_ccd, and indi_simulator_wheel.
And more recently "real" devices like: indi_asi_wheel and indi_flipflat

BUT when I try indi_asi_ccd with my ASI120MC, I get errors and server exit.
And when I try indi_altair_ccd with my GPCAM2 290M, I also get errors but those are different messages from the ASI cam.

I will first list the errors from the ASI120MC and then the 290M.

Like I said it is probably something really stupid on my part. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Thank you!

I think I know what I did wrong.

I downloaded bleeding edge source code instead of the latest release 1.7.5

I'll try 1.7.5 this afternoon.

Try to rebuild the indi-3rdparty and install them after installing libindi

OK, getting much closer now to total success.

I downloaded the latest github and unzipped it into ~Projects/indi
Then I created to directories ~Projects/indi/build/libindi and ~Projects/indi/build/indi-asi

I followed the directions in the README in order to make libindi:

cd ~Projects/indi/build/libindi
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ../../libindi
make
sudo make install

Perfect! Then I followed the directions to make indi-asi:

cd ~Projects/indi/build/indi-asi
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ../../3rdparty/indi-asi
make
sudo make install

Perfect! Then I tried to make indi-altaircam:

mkdir ~Projects/indi/build/indi-altaircam
cd ~Projects/indi/build/indi-altaircam
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ../../3rdparty/indi-altaircam
make
sudo make install

Failure! This time I wasn't so lucky.
Here are the compile errors:

Thank you!

compile and install libaltaircam first

Jasem,

Thanks for your help. So here is what I've done from beginning to end:

1. I start with a fresh indi-master.zip from GitHub.
2. I unzip it to a new directory named ~/Projects
3. I rename the folder 'indi-master' to 'indi'.
4. Followed by:

mkdir -p ~/Projects/indi/build/libindi
mkdir -p ~/Projects/indi/build/libaltaircam
mkdir -p ~/Projects/indi/build/indi-altaircam

cd ~/Projects/indi/build/libindi
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ../../libindi
make
sudo make install

cd ~/Projects/indi/build/libaltaircam
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ../../3rdparty/libaltaircam
make
sudo make install

cd ~/Projects/indi/build/indi-altaircam
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ../../3rdparty/indi-altaircam
make
sudo make install

That's it.
Like you said, it helped that I built libaltaircam before indi-altaircam.
Now I see a shared library...

nm -D /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libaltaircam.so.1.0.1
U abort
U access

00000000001ae7e0 T Altaircam_Enum
00000000001ae6d0 T Altaircam_EnumV2

There is that missing reference: Altaircam_EnumV2. Great!
Unfortunately when I build indi-altaircam I get the same error as before:

CMakeFiles/indi_altair_ccd.dir/indi_altair.cpp.o: In function `ALTAIRCAM_ISInit()':
/home/kamisan/Projects/indi/3rdparty/indi-altaircam/indi_altair.cpp:123: undefined reference to `Altaircam_EnumV2'

I am sorry to be such a pain in the neck.
Thank you.

Jasem,

OK, so I was finally able to get indi_altair_ccd to build and to run.

I had to modify CMakeCache.txt to the following:

//Path to a library.ALTAIRCAM_LIBRARIES:FILEPATH=/usr/local/lib/libaltaircam.so
ALTAIRCAM_LIBRARIES:FILEPATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libaltaircam.so.1.0.1

Don't know why but it was looking for it in /usr/local/lib

Still need to test with my Altair 290M. Fingers crossed!

You will be happy to know that the camera works.

Thank you!

Following this trying a MacOS rebuild. Looks like the file structures have shifted a bit. Indi-altaircam is no longer a thing and you need to make libaltaircam and several others like it before working on them together in Indi-toupbase. The other thing is that (on macOS Catalina at least) the make install stage fails as the script cannot copy to /usr/lib. So far I have got the libindi build and libaltaircam build done but without the sudo make install stages. libtoupcam also looks OK.
