[Kstars-devel] Trutech Filter Wheel driver

[Jason Harris]

Hi Brian,

You can get the latest SVN sources with this command:
svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/KDE/kdeedu
The indi stuff lives in kdeedu/kstars/kstars/indi

See this page for build instructions:
http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/Build/KDE4

This will tell you how to set up a full build environment for KDE, but  
if you're only interested in this one issue, it's probably overkill.

Here's the short version:

1) Make sure you have cmake installed:
% wget http://www.cmake.org/files/v2.6/cmake-2.6.0.tar.gz
% tar zxvf cmake-2.6.0.tar.gz
% cd cmake-2.6.0
% ./configure
% make
% sudo make install

2) cd to the kdeedu directory that you just got from svn.

3) Run cmake to configure the build:
% cmake . -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/kde4
[or wherever you want kstars to be installed...]

4) Run make and make install:
% cd kstars   [or not, if you want to build all of kdeedu...]
% make
% sudo make install

regards,
Jason
