Re: Kstars hardware control in KDE 4.1 packages (some success!)
Hi Sune,
Today i finally got around looking at the kstars problems again, and i found
out that kstars does not create links to indi_lx200generic. One of them
should be a link called indi_lx200autostar. There is also an upstream
bugreport about the same problem. ( see
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=168411 ).
When I create this link manually, I can control my telescope.
The relevant part in the CMakeLists.txt is (i suppose) from line 211 to 220 as
attached.
I'm still not sure if this is an upstream or a packageing problem. Note that
the upstream bug report is from a kubuntu user, which is probably also based
on the same debian packages.
Still no success on the webcam issue though...
patching the kstars dir and running make inside builddir, followed by
fakeroot debian/rules binary should build binary packages without
cleaning everything up before.
Yes, this works fine, however now (with the sources in experimental as of
today), the kdeedu package wont' build. Everything seems fine during
compilation but when creating the kalzium .deb it fails with:
~/Debs/kdeedu-4.1.0$ fakeroot debian/rules binary
lots of output skipped ...
.
dh_shlibdeps -pkalgebra
dh_installdeb -pkalzium
dh_perl -pkalzium
dh_shlibdeps -pkalzium
dpkg-shlibdeps: failure: couldn't find library libcompoundviewer.so.4 needed by
debian/kalzium/usr/bin/kalzium (its RPATH is '').
Note: libraries are not searched in other binary packages that do not have any
shlibs or symbols file.
To help dpkg-shlibdeps find private libraries, you might need to set
LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
dh_shlibdeps: command returned error code 512
make: *** [binary-predeb-IMPL/kalzium] Fout 1
I checked and libcompoundviewer.so.4 *has* actually been build in
./obj-i486-linux-gnu/lib/libcompoundviewer.so.4
and also
./debian/tmp/usr/lib/libcompoundviewer.so.4
so it looks like there is some sort of path problem.
What can I do to fix this?
Yours,
Gerrit Jan.

Kstars hardware control in KDE 4.1 packages.
Hi there, Does anyone know what the status of the experimental KDE4.1 packages is with regards to kstars (indi) telescope hardware control? I recently installed KDE 4.1 from experimental and I wanted to use kstars to control my telescope. This used to work fine in the 3.5.x series. With the kstars/indi (4:4.0.98-1) in KDE 4.1RC as available in experimental today I cannot get any hardware to work. Kstars hangs when searching for the serial interface telescope wizzard. Also my web cam does not show up in the Indi device list, it used to be under the video capture devices, but now no capture devices show up at all. I have looked in the upstream developers list archives and I haven't found similar problems mentioned there, so it could be: 1. Me doing something stupid :) 2. A problem with the current debian package. 3. An upstream problem that is not been flagged up to the upstream developers. I would like to see kstars working again so I would appreciate some help here... Gerrit Jan. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

However Kstars (used to..) let me control hardware much better and also has a lot of really nice features for observation lists etc. Thanks anyway Gerrit Jan. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
