I think its very good progress, though! I don't have any more time tonight to test it further, but might be able to check it out more tomorrow. I am about to leave for an astronomy club meeting. I just ran Jamie's script for building KStars and all went smoothly, just as he reported!!

I might try running the deployment steps to make a dmg tomorrow. I know you posted a lot of steps, is there a full list someplace?

With the help of apple.stackexchange.com/questions/1418/c...ash-report-as-a-user
From my crash report, the important bit:

If I read the above correctly, and I might be wrong there, it's about WCS:

There isn't much more than the steps I've posted about the libusb issue at the moment.

OK, I think the crash is GSC related while taking a pic with the CCD sim.
Managed to be super quick and snap this screenshot second before it bombed out...

As I have not updated kstars code nor anything else for a few days now on my MBA, I will re-install the laptop tomorrow and try the scripts from Jamie and work from that point as I believe you guys and I are not using the same kstars sorts of speak (I'm out of date).

Yep, i did notice yours was out of date from the screenshots. By the way, I had to copy the folders into the app at the end myself because after the emerge, there was a copy error in Jamie's script at the part where it was supposed to copy into the bundle and I did not have time yet to see what happened. But the kstars built by Jamie's script was good other than that!

Jamie, I would like to propose an alternative to:
[if [ ! -d ~/Qt/5.7/clang_64/bin ]
    then
        echo "Checking brew for qt5, because I didn't find it"
        time brewInstallIfNeeded qt5 --with-dbus
    else    
        echo "qt5 found in home dir"
    fi

in github.com/jamiesmith/kstars-on-osx/blob/master/build-kstars.sh

Instead of doing a "brew install qt5 --with-dbus" which we know takes for ever.... and ever to install&compile why not go directly with the Qt5 package available from the Qt5 website?
as in: download.qt.io/archive/qt/5.7/5.7.0/qt-o...-x64-clang-5.7.0.dmg

From looking on stackoverflow we could script the install:
echo "mounting server"
  mount_afp afp://username:password@yourserver
  hdiutil attach /Volumes/yourserver/pathtodmg.dmg
  /usr/sbin/installer -pkg /Volumes/pathtopkgfile.pkg -target / -verboseR
echo "umounting the repository"
  umount /Volumes/yourserver
  status=$?
    if [ $status != 0 ]
    then
        echo "Something went wront unmounting the server... no problem... we'll just remove the directory"
        rmdir /Volumes/yourserver
    fi

That sounds perfectly reasonable - I can try that later

Is this stuff JUST to fix the libusb, or have you been able to whittle down all of the otool/change things we need to do to this smaller set?

The above was the last step in getting this libusb issue sorted out.
As I am out of date in my kstars build, I will re-install the laptop this evening, run your scripts (will install Qt5 from dmg however) and emerge kstars.
I will then take note of all the lib path changes we need.

That sounds excellent! Thanks!

By the way, as I found out last night, in Jamie's script, if you do not select the option to build libindi, then it doesn't enable Ekos in KStars, even if you have libindi installed on your computer. If you build libindi using the script, then its good. Shouldn't it include ekos if libindi is already found on the computer? Anotherwords, if you want to skip the libindi build because you already did it recently, shouldn't you be able to still get Ekos in KStars?

This will be the first time I try the scripts as the MBA will be "like new", slight difference is that I will install the Qt dmg as I do not want to stay up all night...
So what you're saying is that I must select the option to build indi from the script otherwise I will have issues later on?
