Celestia Forums

Hi there John, I'm not using the Nvidia proprietary driver. I am building Celestia pointing to the packaged Fedora Mesa. I do also have all the git versions of DRM,Mesa, the Nouveau kernel and the git version of the Nouveau driver. I build them quite regular when there are significant commits. I cou...

Hi there Ajtribick, The good news is your openpng15 commit does fix the build. The bad news is I can only compile SVN Celestia with the GTK interface. The only interfaces that I haven't tried are Gnome and building Celestia with Visual Studio 2010. I did raise this in a reply to one of the devs in t...

Hi John and Ajtribick, I've subscribed to the mailing list,and have posted a messege about the patches. I might download and install a earlier version of gcc, but I'll wait on that one as I know it will take sometime to configure and install that. A previous version of libpng should be very easy to ...

Hi there John,
I know Fedora 17 is in Beta,but it is not far from release (Fedora 18 is a lot more Rawhide in my opinion).

I've looked at the rest of your reply,and I'll see if I can download a lower version of libpng,and gcc-4.6.

Hi all, I've got a new machine fairly recently and I've downloaded the SVN version of Celestia for both Windows 7 and Fedora 17. I believe I've downloaded the required packages to build Celestia in the KDE4 Desktop of Fedora 17,but I'm getting a compile problem. I've tried to compile with options of...

Hi John, I guess I wouldn't blame you for not going through the "growing pains" of going through form one version of GCC to another. I do vaguely remember those times from upgrading from one distribution version to another. Personally, GCC-4.6 hasn't been too bad,it does throw the odd wobb...

Hi john Van Vliet, I'd like to thank you for the advice. I had put in #include <cstddef> in the top of /thirdparty/Eigen/Eigen/src/Core/util/Memory.h like this: #include <cstddef> #ifndef EIGEN_MEMORY_H #define EIGEN_MEMORY_H // FreeBSD 6 seems to have 16-byte aligned malloc // See http://svn.freebs...

Hi alll, I have a problem with Celestia. I have downloaded the latest SVN version(Rev5163). I have tried with either gtk,KDE,glut,and qt as a frontend. THe trouble is I keep getting this error when running make: /../thirdparty/Eigen/Eigen/src/Core/util/Memory.h:343:13: error: ‘ptrdiff_t’ does not na...

Hi Chris and John, I've updated Celestia SVN to revision 4975,and ran make distclean.The troulbe now is that Celestia won't clean itself completely,it ends with this error: make[3]: Entering directory `/opt/svncelestia/celestia/src/celestia' rm -f celestia test -z "../../celestia" || rm -f...

Hi all, I've downloaded the latest commits to Celestia SVN(Revision 4972).Thank you very much Chris,Celesrtia from SVN builds much better,but I think it needs a final tweak to build properly. After I ran make distclean,autoreconf -iv,./configure --prefix=/usr --with-gtk,then make,I ended up with thi...

Hi Ajbribick,
I'm sorry about that and to everybody else for the mistake I made.
The SVN revision number I'm have the problem is revision 4965

Hi everyone, I downloaded the latest updates for Celestia SVN tonight.I did a make distclean,then autorronf -iv,then ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-gtk,and lastly make.I got an error,the error message will be at the bottom of this post.I'm currently using Fedora Rawhide(Fc13),I use the latest Nouv...

Hi Jon Van Villet, I followed your advice and reinstalled all the Mesa packages from Fedora using Yum,and restarted my computer.The sad news is I'm still getting the same error. So I'm recompiling my Mesa source code from git since the previous step hasn't had an effect.Here is the Mesa list from a ...

Hi guys, After yesterdays updates from celestia S.V.N, I tried to compile celestia in Fedora 12 Beta with ./autoreconf -iv,then ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-glut.After I type in make and then return,I get this error when trying to compile: make[3]: Leaving directory `/opt/svncelestia/celestia/sr...

Hi Cartrite,
I could try a different folder,but I have my root account enabled,so when I log into it via kdm,I should have the right permissions I need to install?I'll see what happens.

Hi Cartrite, I downloaded bot files and just extracted the celestiabrowser.cpp,I then put it in /celestia/src/kde.That did the trick and celestia compiles :) The only thing is when I did a make install,I got this error again,from a earlier post in celestia bugs: make[2]: Entering directory `/opt/tru...

Hi Cartrite, I downloaded the patch,extracted it,and then re-named it as kde-patch.diff.I then moved it into the Celestia folder and then fired up Kompare,and then I applied and saved the changes. I did do a make distclean before I came back to this thread,to be ready to build again(autoreconf -iv,....

Hi all, I've just updated my SVN version of Celestia today.After I ran autoreconf -iv,I use these ./configure options to build celestia: ./configure --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/usr --bindir=/usr/bin --sbindir=/usr/sbin --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc --includedir=/usr/include --libdir=/usr/l...

Hi guys, After getting the latest updates from the SVN repository,and modifying the three files in /src/celengine,(after reading John V Valets' post on my last thread),celestia compiled after make. I have to report a problem when I ran make install: Making install in kde make[3]: Entering directory ...

Hi John, After I did a fresh install of Fedora 11,I tried to copy over my trunk/celestia folder from my windows side of my hardrive back into my newly created /opt folder,but unfortunately that didn't work.So I did a fresh pull from S.V.N. After I did that,I ran autoreconf -iv but I was still gettin...
