I've updated kstars and there are no options to configure INDI or EKOS under Configuring Kstars. There doesn't appear to be anything in the toolbar edit bits to add it back in.

I assumed I fouled things up somewhere along the line, so I deleted all the kstar bits and cloned the latest bits and rebuilt kstarts with no errors, but still no options to edit INDI or EKOS and no entries to add the the main toolbar.

Any suggestions I should try?

You compiled KStars from source? Then it sound like build process didn't found installed INDI or maybe it is too old? Try build and install latest INDI and then recompile KStars again.

You'll need to build Indi as well. You'll need Indi 2 for the latest Kstars (3.6.3).

Same here! And yes, I've built and installed newest INDILib from github upstream beforehand.

I see now that the requirement is for INDI 2.0. I've also downloaded and rebuilt indi and indi-3rdparty bits - no joy. How do we get the 2.0 built done?

@fmozza: Yesterday I pulled the newest code directly from gitlab and tried to build with QTCreator <strong>from scratch</strong>. Whereas newest INDLib builds, KStars aborts and several MOC's do not compile leading to missing 'alignadapter', 'captureadapter' and so on.
Very surprisingly I was able to build KStars directly in command line mode. But as You state, all the parts of the INDI-Toolbar are missing. Seems these are exactly the modules mentioned above, that are required for INDI-Toolbar.

So what are we doing wrong? Nobody else with the same symptoms?

BTW: Omitting all the commits from January (i.e going back to december state) works perfectly!!!

I first tried rebuilding in Qt including re-running CMAKE. Maybe that will work on Linux I'm not sure. On Mac it didn't work for me - same symptoms of no Indi and no Ekos. I had to rebuild my environment from scratch and then rebuild within Qt to get it working.

Same here on Linux. Latest git-pulled Indi and KStars -> no Indi/Ekos available.
What confuses me is this: Starting indiserver gives

trifid@XPC-SH87R:~/Astro/indi/build$ indiserver
2023-01-24T13:54:16: startup: indiserver
Usage: indiserver [options] driver [driver ...]
Purpose: server for local and remote INDI drivers
INDI Library: 1.9.8
Code v1.9.7-27-g5e98060b8. Protocol 1.7.

V1.9.8? Shouldn't that be 2.0x by now?

Guys do you run "make install" after compilation?

I just compiled latest INDI & Kstars with ekos just fine using my script nouspiro.space/?page_id=209

My indiserver output this

...And yes, I've built and installed ... (see my message )

I do run "sudo make install" in my standard routine.

I found indiserver resides in two directories: /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin

The one in /usr/bin refers to "INDI Library: 2.0.0" whereas the one in /usr/local/bin refers to "INDI Library: 1.9.8" When I just run "indiserver" the one in /usr/local/bin is used. No idea why.

I just noticed running "cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo [path]" returns:

-- The following OPTIONAL packages have not been found:
* INDI (required version >= 2.0.0), Astronomical instrumentation control, <www.indilib.org>
Support for controlling astronomical devices on Linux with KStars.

despite git-pulling, compiling and installing Indi just a minute earlier.

Libindiclient 2.0 is present here:
