Issues regarding building kstars on Debian 11 (bullseye) and getting Data catalogs

[Rani Ahmed]

Hello. Now I tried to build 3rd party INDI drivers. I actually only wanted
the GPS NMEA. But I compiled all kinds of drivers out there. I built ALL
the libraries and ALL went OK. I found the indi-rpi-gpio did not compile
because the header
*#include <pigpiod_if2.h>*
is not found in
https://github.com/indilib/indi-3rdparty/blob/master/indi-rpi-gpio/rpigpio.cpp
. I know C++ very well. So I tried to change it with what I thought would
be the nearest header by name
*#include <pigpiod.h>*
then the compiler says many methods/functions are not there in the cpp file.
Anyways.. This has to be fixed.
Also add that I don't have the related device and I don't think I will ever
use it.
Thanks.
