I have a couple of bug fixes I want to build and test for one of the INDI telescope drivers (Rainbow Astro RST-135). I’m running the StellarMate build on a rpi4. I have installations of both 1.4.6 and 1.5.1 that I can use (Ubuntu and Raspbian). I’ve tried the various tutorials I could find, but can’t get past even installing the prerequisites as all of the instructions appear geared for desktop installs. I’m a Mac guy and don’t really know my way around Linux very well. Plus I’m using the prebuilt StellarMate which works great but maybe isn’t quite configured for development use.

Thanks.

It looks like I’ve solved my problem. On Raspbian (SM 1.5.1) once I did an “apt update”, I was able to install the prerequisites, pull the sources and build.

FWIW, an easy way to do that is to use Rob's AstroPi3 scripts.
See github.com/rlancaste/AstroPi3 and after you git clone that, e.g. for Raspbian run sudo bash setupAstroRaspbianPi.sh
If you don't want all that he has in there, you can just run the parts that compile indi and kstars.
