[Kstars-devel] error in "fitsimage.cpp" while building the binaries #Gsoc

[Rishab Arora]

Hi Nalin,

We've update the techbase article to include zlib as a dependency.

Regarding the second issue which we discussed on IRC, there is a missing
#include <QFile>
in fitsimage.cpp [as hdevalence pointed out on IRC]

You can add that to get it working.
It worked for most of us so it was probably never flagged. We'll be adding
that as well.

Thanks for the heads up!
