A question for Nou or other software experts: Does the script have to be run on the device which it will be used on? I have used Nou's script to build KStars 3.6.9 on Raspberry Pi OS 64bit Bookworm on both a Raspberry Pi 5 (8GB) and a Raspberry Pi 4 (4GB). I was surprised to find that the two images do not seem to be interchangable, although I have found that the RPi 4 one does run also on an RPi 4 (8GB) as I expected. Any explanations? Thanks.

I have not the PI5, but I believe the PI4 and PI5 boards are completely different from the HW point of view. The boards have different design.

HI, I apologise about this help request, but I have tried to compile phd2 unsuccesfully. From the shell, the command is ./build-soft-stable.sh phd2 and I have got this message:
fatal: invalid reference: v2.6.12
PHD2 configuration failed
fatal: invalid reference: v2.6.12
PHD2 configuration failed

Thaking you again for your useful and fantastic job.
Regards
Sergio

Avocette:
There is used option "-march=native" which can cause that binaries are not interchangeable on different processors. So if the OS itself run and just compiled KStars does not then delete that string from beginning of script delete all build-* directories so it get rebuild and it should work across RPi4 and 5.

Sergio:
Please run "git tag" in phd2 directory and check if it contain that v2.6.12 line. If not try to run "git fetch --unshallow"

Hi NOU, everyone

I'm hopeless with git. A question which comes up quite often is how to roll back to a previous version.

Using your scripts, would it be possible to publish the steps we would take to install a previous version of INDI/kstars?
e.g. Let's say I have kstars 3.6.9 installed and wish to revert to kstars 3.6.8.

Cheers and clear skies,
Steve

run "git log" and see which commit hash had this version. Then run "git checkout #hash#"

For 3.6.8 best commit is "git checkout 7d1d8f0574ab8d321d5c1fed1ac0e3499f140e65" as it is one before update to 3.6.9.

To return back to last one run "git checkout master"

Hi, I have launched again the build-soft/stable.sh phd2, and this the message:
...
-- Up-to-date: /usr/share/doc/HTML/uk/kstars/xplanet_tab.png
-- Up-to-date: /usr/share/metainfo/org.kde.kstars.appdata.xml
HEAD is now at 94e611e8 bump rev to 2.6.12
PHD2 configuration failed

then "git tag" returns : v2.6.8dev
and git fetch --unshallow
returns
fatal: --unshallow on a complete repository does not make sense

Thank you in advance for the help.
Clear sky

Hi nouI follow it here so as not to dirty the other thread

INDI 3rd-party compilation failed
osvpaez@raspberrypi:~/astro-soft-build $

Try delete build-indi-3rdparty directory and run again. Seems like initial configuration failed for some reason. If that doesn't help delete all build-* directories.

Hi, I try again, but I already did it by deleting all astro-soft
