Hi,

The instructions are slightly outdated, you need Qt 5.10 (not 5.9) to compile.

https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtest.html#qWaitFor

Please try to use

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo -DBUILD_TESTING=false ../kstars

instead of

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo ../kstars

Best regards,
Yuri
