Celestia 1.6.0 released

[cartrite]

Linux QT4 compiled fine. Linux GTK compiled fine. But here is what I get when trying to compile Linux KDE.

Code: Select all

celestialbrowser.cpp: In member function ‘virtual void CelestialBrowser::slotRefresh()’:
celestialbrowser.cpp:127: error: conversion from ‘Eigen::Vector3f’ to non-scalar type ‘Point3f’ requested
celestialbrowser.cpp: In member function ‘void CelestialBrowser::addPlanetarySystem(CelListViewItem*, const PlanetarySystem*, const Point3d*)’:

In my case it was crucial for avoiding errors that I did a make clean before compiling the Eigenized stuff. Apart from that I have no idea what happens. You probably use a later version of gcc which often is more strict than predecessors...

I always build a fresh svn copy so I don't think that's the problem. I'm thinking that this may be a gcc issue but I'm not sure what it could be.
I'm going to try a build on Suse 10.2. That uses an older gcc version.

cartrite has Suse 10.2 installed and compiles the Celestia regularly. But there are no official RPMs for this old SUSE version. Due to the MANY different Linux distributions in existence, we have given up producing binary distributions for Linux.

It's quite easy to compile the code, once you made sure that you have installed ALL *-develop rpm packages belonging to the required runtime libraries.

You did not give us much information yet: which sources have you used? Did you start from the official 1.6.0 source tarball from here:

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/cele ... z?download

And now what sort of error happens after you started ./configure??

Fridger

PS: As of today, the code for Linux from the SVN development archive is not broken anymore.

I had been using the source from http://www.celestiaproject.net/celestia/download.html
I just re-downloaded from the link you provided. I gzipped the file, moved to that directory and...

/celestia-1.6.0> ./configure --with-kde

The following is the end where it errored out...

Code: Select all

checking how to run the C++ preprocessor... /lib/cpp
checking whether g++ supports -O0... no
checking whether g++ supports -Wl,--no-undefined... no
checking for X... no
checking for deflate in -lz... no
configure: error: zlib not found.


Goggling that error and "celestia" I found a link that stated that error means I need to install "zlib-devel". Well, I have installed that as that is the error I was getting with the original package.

Any/all help is appreciated. Thanks

p.s. same error occurs if I use the --with-gtk flag

[cartrite]

This is the configue line I use. I think the CXXFLAGS part is only needed for Suse 11.1. I don't think I had that in the configure line in 10.2.

Code: Select all

./configure CXXFLAGS="-I /opt/kde3/include" --with-kde --with-qt-dir=/usr/lib64/qt3 --with-qt-libraries=/usr/lib64/qt3/lib64 --enable-libsuffix=64 --with-lua --with-cspice-dir=/usr/local/share/cspice

If you don't have cspice installed, remove that part.
Try this line. It may be all you need. To use the above line, you'll need to install lua and cspice.

Code: Select all

./configure --with-kde --with-qt-dir=/usr/lib64/qt3 --with-qt-libraries=/usr/lib64/qt3/lib64 --enable-libsuffix=64

This problem is caused from missing X11 libraries.. i don't know why -lz is linked against X11 libs..
I've patched the configure file to build celestia on OS4..

[t00fri]

This problem is caused from missing X11 libraries..

That is almost certainly not true. Anybody with some experience with configure knows that the yes/no answer is triggered by checks on the presence of the appropriate headers, NOT the libs themselves. The headers are, however, part of the *-devel packages!

Hence my interpretation is that he is missing the X11 devel packages, not the X11 libs. Also beginners typically push the button to get a derfault installation, which almost NEVER includes the files required for compiling...

i don't know why -lz is linked against X11 libs..

According to standard UNIX nomenclature -lz means that zlib is missing. Again, it's most probably the *-devel package NOT zlib itself.

As I pointed out initially, all he presumably has to do is to install the required *-devel packages from the SuSE 10.2 distribution. My guess is that most libs are already installed by default.

Both lines provided above didn't work for me

I went back into YAST (the install manager for Suse). I confirmed zlib-devel and zlib-devel-32bit are both showing they are installed.

When searching the YAST tool, I see literally dozens of other "-devel" packs listed as possible to install. Can you tell me which ones I need for this to work?

[cartrite]

When you are in Yast, load Pattern into the filter. Then you will see things like Desktop Functions, Graphical Environment, etc. At the bottom will be Development. I have Gnome, KDE, Base, Linux Kernel, C/C++, QT4, RPM, etc. See image. This Suse11.1. 10.2 should look similar. I would think about upgrading to Suse 11.1. 10.2 is no longer supported.

[cartrite]

1 file that may get left out of the general patterns filter is gtkglext-devel. You should check to see if that is checked. Any dependencies should also be chosen automatically. Be sure to add them in.

Another reason configure may not find zlib is the version you have may be too old. You did run the updates, right? There are no more new updates but I think it may be possible to get the updates that were already released. Celestia should build on a fully updated 10.2. I just built a svn copy about a few weeks ago.

They stopped updating the 10.2 system last year sometime. If they are no longer available, then you can always upgrade to 10.3, 11.0 or 11.1.

Yes, i mean X11 devel packages..
But i don't know why libz must be tested linked with x11 libraries

[NIGHTCAST2000]

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:

Code: Select all

./configure --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/usr --bindir=/usr/bin --sbindir=/usr/sbin --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc --includedir=/usr/include --libdir=/usr/lib --libexecdir=/usr/libexec --localstatedir=/var --infodir=/usr/share/info --mandir=/usr/share/man --docdir=/usr/share/doc --x-libraries=/usr/lib --x-includes=/usr/include --enable-theora --enable-dependency-tracking --with-kde --with-gl-libs=/usr/lib --with-gl-inc=/usr/include --with-glut-libs=/usr/lib --with-glut-inc=/usr/include --with-gnu-ld --with-x --with-lua

I then ran make,but I've come up with this error(seems the same as in an earlier post in this thread):

I'm currently using Fedora Rawhide(the Fc12 version),and I know I use and try to compile the latest Mesa D.R.M and Nouveau code from the git repositories.

Try this. It works for me. I also posted this in the developers forum. Gtk should work without a patch.

kde-patch.txt.zip

cartrite

[NIGHTCAST2000]

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,./configure,etc).

Unfortunately,I still got the same error ,but I'm sure it is to do with the Mesa code,(I did a compile of the code before I updated Celestia,and the xorg state-tracker is broken at the moment).
I've had a look at Nabble,there seem to be some patches to help with the problem.So I'll have to wait for a bit until they get committed to git master.I do hope it will be tonight(my time),or in the next 24hrs or so.

I would like to thank you very much for your help.

Regards,
NIGHTCAST2000

[cartrite]

Try replacing celestialbrowser.cpp with this one.

celestialbrowser.cpp.zip

If this doesn't work, you can try the first patch I posted in the developers forum

viewtopic.php?p=116591#p116591

One of them should work. If not. It is good to know and you'll have to wait until someone else fixes it.

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

[cartrite]

Check your permissions on the install folder or adjust the prefix to install to an empty folder were you have write permissions. You may have to run make install with the root account.
cartrite

[NIGHTCAST2000]

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.

I've just installed 1.60 on my Windows laptop and it seems to be running fine. However, I have noticed a slight discrepancy in the distances between stars. For example, Simbad lists the distance from Earth to HIP 105075 as 0.49 mas (6563.3 LY); 1.60 shows the same distance as 1353.4 LY. I realize the new release uses CHARM2 data, but which is correct, Simbad or Celestia, in this particular instance? Is this a bug?
