Who is entitled to commit code changes in your new openSuSE repository? Everyone? Until now only me. But if you have an account on the Build Service, drop me a note and I will give you the rights. Moreover, can SuSE maintainers decide to eventually include such patched Celestia code from the OpenBu...

I was thinking of doing this under fedora then openSUSE but decided that it was way too much of a problem for example i have 3 different installs in 3 different locations gnome build of 1.6.1 default and QT4 build and gnome2 build of SVN For me it is similar, so I decide to use the "openSUSE B...

Don't forget that Celestia needs to run under Windows and MacOS, too. Will you be able to try building it under either of those? Alas I have no Windows or MacOS to test it. But the patches that I marked with a "*" don't harm the other systems. It's pure Qt4 stuff. There are no changes in ...

Hello, First, I don`t want to make a fork of Celestia and I don't want to harm the developers. My first intention was to fix some bugs but then I missed some features in the Qt4 GUI and I tried to implement them. BIG FAT WARNING The packages needs testing!!! They are high experimental! If you want t...

Hello, If CelestiaCore->initSimulation fails (configfile errors, spice initialization fails, reading of star catalogs etc.), you got an error message and celestia crashes immediately with an segmentation fault if it call functions that depends on correct initialization. The reason is that the return...

Hello, the next standard compiler in the next suse release (12.0/12.1?) is gcc-4.6.+ Like in the past it's go stricter and stricter and now cstddef isn't automatically included anymore. This little patch fixes it: diff -urN celestia.org/src/celengine/frametree.h celestia/src/celengine/frametree.h --...

refsteff The side effect of this patch is you don't have to create an empty config.h file if you use qmake on Linux. This was wrong. You need to patch 10 more files. :oops: diff -urN celestia.org/src/buildstardb.cpp celestia/src/buildstardb.cpp --- celestia.org/src/buildstardb.cpp 2011-08-19 16:05:...

Hello, I was testing celestia Qt4 GUI with different config files and for debugging I did a configure --with-qt --enable-debug. I realized that if the config file didn't exists / wasn't readable, I only got the "Error reading configuration file" message box and after clicking ok, celestia ...

Hello john, Unfortunately you will have to fix them on your own i have been trying to get the creators to FIX THERM - but they refuse or are no longer active and can not fix them . ---- the fix ( might vary a bit on some ) ---- 1) name them 1 ,2, 3, or a,b,c,d,...... will do 2) a second error caused...

Hello, after I've enabled localizations in Linux (celestia svn 5166 Qt4) and tried some addons, I realized the same behavior that was described here: http://www.shatters.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=11690 but with stars (fictional or real). I've tried it with rthorvalds sun addons (with the upd...

Hello Vincent, As to the EventFinder issue, I didn't get any compilation error with MSVC++ 2008 Express, not even a compiler warning, which is quite strange... Maybe I have to point out clearer what I mean. The error message came from celestia. The method is not wrong , you get what you want :wink: ...

Hello, I wanted to start celestia (svn 5166) with a different data directory to see if my original costs performance. The command line interface is not ready (yet) :wink: , so I was setting the environment variable CELESTIA_DATA_DIR to point to the new directory. I got the message: "Celestia is...

Hello, I hope these were the last bugs I found :wink: 1. No localizations in Linux: The directory "locale" contains no .mo files (maybe after a make install under Windows but not in Linux). diff -urN celestia.org/src/celestia/qt/qtmain.cpp celestia/src/celestia/qt/qtmain.cpp --- celestia.o...

Hello, This bug depends on the X11 and window manager combination, so if you use X11 on other platforms, you can be affected too. If I maximize (no fullscreen) the celestia main window and quit, the values for pos in the config file are negative. You can read the explanation in the qt4 docs (applica...

Maybe Linux doesn't support compiled-in resources or is some extra initialization needed? Indeed I need some extra initialization and because I use the autoconf tools to build celestia, there is also a little change in the build system necessary. diff -urN celestia.org/src/celestia/qt/Makefile.am c...

Hello, my system: OS: modified OpenSuse 11.2, KDE 4.6.3, Qt 4.7.3, Xorg 1.9.3, Celestia trunk 5166, libPNG12 and libPNG14 (tried both) HW: CPU Intel E7500, 8GB ram, Nvidia Geoforce 9400 GT If I select the timetoolbar, I can't see the Icons. only the tooltips are displayed. If I change the icon path ...

Hello everyone, first I want to thank every developer of Celestia. It's a great program, keep on going! Since a few weeks I'm trying the Qt4 GUI and after testing and playing around I found a nasty Qt4 / KDE4 bug that affects Celestia and all Qt4 only programs that runs under KDE4. If you have luck,...
