| == Introduction ==
| | See [[../Building KStars KF5|Building KStars From Sources]]. |
| This page is a community effort to document the procedure to build various versions of KStars on various platforms and environments.
| |
| | |
| == Why build from source? ==
| |
| Typically, you would want to build KStars from source if you plan to develop KStars, or stay on the bleeding edge and contribute valuable feedback.
| |
| | |
| == Prerequisite Packages ==
| |
| To build and develop KStars, several packages may be required from your distribution. Here's a list.
| |
| === Required dependencies ===
| |
| * GNU Make, GCC -- Essential tools for building
| |
| * kdelibs -- KDE libraries
| |
| * cmake -- buildsystem used by KDE
| |
| * eigen -- linear algebra library
| |
| === Optional dependencies ===
| |
| * libcfitsio -- FITS library
| |
| * libindi -- Instrument Neutral Distributed Interface, for controlling equipment.
| |
| | |
| === Installing these packages ===
| |
| To install all of these, use the following commands:
| |
| ==== Debian / Kubuntu ====
| |
| | |
| sudo apt-get install build-essential cmake kdelibs5-dev libeigen2-dev libcfitsio3-dev
| |
| | |
| Please note that INDI is unavailable in Debian testing as of this writing.
| |
| | |
| == Documentation on building various versions ==
| |
| === Git ===
| |
| KStars development happens on KDE's git repository. ([http://git-scm.com Git] is an open-source version control software.). The code on git is the bleeding-edge developers' version of KStars. It does break occasionally. | |
| | |
| To fetch the KStars source code:
| |
| | |
| git clone git://anongit.kde.org/kstars
