AstrocatApp

Image Organization for Astrophotography

Building Sources

• The source code is activley being developed on MacOS and on Windows. The build has not been verified yet on Linux.
• Feel free to contribute to make it build on Linux.

First build the third party libraries

On Windows Only

We need to build pthreads for Windows before we can build cfitsio

cd external/pthreads
nmake clean VC

To run the app from explorer, copy pthreadVC2.dll to the app binary release folder.

---

On MacOS and Windows

cd external
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build . --config Release

---

This should put all third party binaries in the external/build/lib folder

Build the App

After building the third party libraries, either build AstrocatApp.pro from Qt Creator, or from command line. Create a new build folder in the root (not the same build folder you used for the external libs)

mkdir build
cd build

On MacOS

qmake ../src/AstrocatApp.pro -spec macx-clang CONFIG+=x86_64 CONFIG+=qtquickcompiler

On Windows

qmake ../src/AstrocatApp.pro -spec win32-msvc CONFIG+=x86_64 CONFIG+=qtquickcompiler

Then run:

make
