Building Kstars on Ubuntu Mate fails

Building Kstars on Ubuntu Mate fails was created by Mathieu Corbett

Hello,

I attempted to build Kstars on Ubuntu Mate following the instructions on KDE's website: techbase.kde.org/Projects/Edu/KStars/Building_KStars_KF5

Cmake works without any trouble, and most of the make process works as well, but it fails at the very last second when linking.

Any insight as to what might be causing these troubles?

Not sure what's going on, looks like the KDE Frameworks did not install cleanly. Have you tried using the PPA?

I had no problem installing Kstars from the PPA, but I want to download and build the source so that I can change some UI elements and customize it.

Well, if you want to develop on KStars, you'd probably want to use a KDE desktop, something like Kubuntu or KDE Neon. You can also do this on Mate, but I'm not sure what the problem is with the KF5 libs.

I see. I figured it would be simpler to develop on KDE, but the problem is that I eventually want to install this modified version on my Raspberry Pi running Ubuntu Mate.

This is probably a noob question, but would it be possible for me to develop/build on Kubuntu, then install on Ubuntu Mate?

Well, I guess that solved it then :p

I'll reinstall Kubuntu and do my developing on there. Thanks for your help! :)
