Yes, it sounds like that would work pretty well. I am hoping that when I am done it won't be so many steps.

Hi Rob,
seems you've hardcoded the destination /usr/lib/libstellarsolver.a in the makefile. Shouldn't that use LIBDIR? On my system, 64bit stuff goes to /usr/lib64 :o

Hi, I think I have it going to both places actually. If you check, it should also be in the libdir. I had to put it in both places because I have had issues in the past on some systems not being able to find libraries in the libdir or libdir not properly being set. For example, I have been on some raspberry pi systems and all the INDI libraries got installed in the libdir, but then when another program tried to find them, it looked in /usr/lib and couldn't find them since they were in the libdir. So I think it might be good to install in both places just in case.

install(TARGETS stellarsolverstatic DESTINATION "${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/lib/")
install(TARGETS stellarsolver DESTINATION "${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/lib/")
install(TARGETS stellarsolverstatic DESTINATION ${CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR})
install(TARGETS stellarsolver DESTINATION ${CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR})

Ah thanks. Yes, I realized too late that both get installed.. Somewhat nasty, as those two should separate 64 and 32 bit libs... But no huge issue indeed.

So I was working on getting it working in KStars, having somebody do a code review, and making revisions based upon things I find during the integration process. I was working on that in June, but then I took a bit of a break from it because I would like to get some other things done and I was working almost exclusively on that as my non work related project for a couple of months. I had a bunch of other projects that were getting neglected. I will be hopefully getting back to it this week I hope. I made a lot of progress on the other projects. I need to probably better manage my time so that I can do more than one project at once. But I am definitely hoping to make good progress on it this week.

For the record, ASTAP can still read and display these XYLS files but in the next ASTAP version 0.9.410, I will remove the possibility to use them as an input to the ASTAP solver. At the moment I don't think this option will be ever used. I like to clean up the ASTAP code and secondly the ASTAP source extractor is also improved making sextractor usage less desirable.

Greetings all, and thank you for all the work on stellarsolver @rlancaste.

Last night, I put a PR up to add the spec file to stellarsolver. This allows an RPM to be built for systems that use RPM packages. I successfully built the RPMs from the branch the PR is created from for all current (and future) Fedora versions and made them available. Once the PR is merged to master, I will update the docs here with how to add the repository. This branch build also allowed me to make new kstars packages available that include stellarsolver. From version `1:3.5.0.git-20201009051405.fc32` and newer, stellarsolver will be included with kstars in the RPM, and is listed as a required dependency in the package.

Hi!

Trying to test this for the first time, I pulled down the code from git. Following the instructions on Github, I should then run
./installLinux.sh

However, I find no such script. Is it still the two install scripts in linux-scripts folder that are to be used?

Jasem hosts the libstellarsolver-dev package.

sudo apt install libstellarsolver-dev

But the compiler throws an error in building kstars.
../kstars/ekos/align/opsalign.cpp:50:34: error: ‘loadSavedOptionsProfiles’ is not a member of ‘StellarSolver’

I had no compile problem with the installStellarSolverLibrary.sh script from github.com/rlancaste/stellarsolver/tree/master/linux-scripts

Maybe I should deinstall the deb package and reinstall from github?

No, deinstalling the deb package and reinstalling the github version does not fix this problem.

Now I get these errors related to align.cpp:

'ready' is not a member of 'StellarSolver'
'class StellarSolver' has no member named 'start'; did you mean 'QList<FITSImage::Star>StellarSolver::stars'?(not accessible from this context)

I have to do some more "git pull" during the weekend ;-)

Thank you very much for offering to test, Jasem and I were just doing a huge amount of work on it in the last few days to integrate into KStars. Sorry, some things broke during the integration and we are actively working on it. It will be ready again shortly.
