<div dir="ltr">Hello World!<br><br>My name is Nalin (codeinjector), a third year student pursuing Bachelors Of Computer Science & Engineering from MSIT/Indraprastha University New Delhi ,India. I am very delighted to work for Kstars and currently building the binaries from source to find any bugs/errors .<br>
<br>I followed the steps mentioned at <a href="http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Edu/KStars/Building_KStars">techbase.kde.org/Projects/Edu/KStars/Building_KStars</a> <br>and found error in one of the file "fitsimage.cpp" <br>
<br>However the process mentioned in link above had some glitches related to ZLIB,<br>after doing <b>cmake ../kstars -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debugfull -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/kde/usr </b> as mentioned in the link above,<br>I got an error <font color="#ff0000">missing: ZLIB_LIBRARY ZLIB_INCLUDE_DIR</font><font color="#000000"> ( complete log in attachment "typescript" )</font><font color="#ff0000"> </font><font color="#000000">which I found was similar to the matter discussed here-><br>
<a href="http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/taglib-devel/2010-June/001566.html">http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/taglib-devel/2010-June/001566.html</a></font><br>(quite old thread though)<br><br>to resolve the ZLIB issue-><br>
1) I fetched the tar package by doing <code><b>wget <a href="http://www.zlib.net/zlib-1.2.7.tar.gz">http://www.zlib.net/zlib-1.2.7.tar.gz</a><br></b></code>2)extracted the tar,<br>3)configured the zlib library by doing <code><b>./configure --prefix=/usr/local/zlib</b></code><br>
4)compiled it using <b>make</b><br>5) and finally installed it by <b>make install<br></b> I also did <div class=""><div class=""><code class=""><b>aptitude install zlib1g-dev </b>to place the headers at their respective place<br>
<br>^these steps successfully installed ZLIB and now instead of doing </code><b><font color="#ff0000">cmake ../kstars -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debugfull -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/kde/usr,<br></font><br>I did <br><font color="#00ff00">cmake ../kstars -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/kde/usr -DZLIB_LIBRARY:FILEPATH="/home/codeinjector/zlib-1.2.7" -DZILB_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH="/home/codeinjector/zlib-1.2.7"<br>
</font>(to point to respective directories</b><b>)</b></div></div><br>and the code was <u><i>configured successfully</i></u>.<br>'but' after that,<br>the <b>make</b> and <b>make install</b> of <a href="http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Edu/KStars/Building_KStars">original procedure</a> threw error in the file (I couldnt manage to get the complete log this time,But here's the screenshot)<br>
<br><a href="https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B4MMNHlRfGSzaVRDREQ2NXNjRHM/edit">https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B4MMNHlRfGSzaVRDREQ2NXNjRHM/edit</a><br><br>^which shows gcc is not willing to accept "QFile" in nested name specifier.<br>
<br>I am using <u>gcc 4.6</u> , <u>QT 4.7.4</u> on <u>Mint 12(</u> lisa )<br>link <a href="http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Edu/KStars/Building_KStars">here</a> is for debian/kbuntu but it should work for mint aswell, right?<br>
<br><br>Badly want to contribute towards kstar this time. Not sure if there's something wrong I am doing. Any suggestions?<br><br><br>Regards,<br>Nalin_C(codeinjector)<br><a href="http://www.nalinchhibber.com">www.nalinchhibber.com</a><br>
