update for INDI drivers for Raspberry Pi was created by han

My Pi4 will arrive mid July, but in preparation for some testing, I already installed the new Raspbian Buster (Debian 32 bit) on my Pi3:

I installed the INDI drivers from:

indilib.org/download/raspberry-pi.html

This works well but INDI drivers are from last year, version 1.7.4

Is it possible to create an archive with .deb installers with the latest INDI version which will install both on Stretch/Buster?

Thanks in advance, Han

Hello Copello,

Thanks for the script. Looks very useful.

I have followed the instructions in the README.md contained in the Github indi-1.7.9 library. Installed all dependencies as indicated.
Tried to compile one third party driver indi-eqmod
Then it is asking for "libnova". Installed that one.
Then it is complaining about GSL (Missing_include_DIR_Library GSL_Cblas_Library)

I give up for the moment.

The command line doesn't work. I have downloaded the complete indi 1.7.9 but I could not find the files libindi-data libindi-dev libindi-plugins

Lets concentrate first on ./3rdparty/indi-eqmod Looking to your example "sudo apt-get build-dep vim", I assume it should be something like

@raspberrypi:~/Downloads/indibuild/indi-1.7.9 $ sudo apt-get build-dep ./3rdparty/indi-eqmod
E: Unsupported file ./3rdparty/indi-eqmod given on commandline
E: Must specify at least one package to check builddeps for

or

pi@raspberrypi:~/Downloads/indibuild/indi-1.7.9 $ sudo apt-get build-dep ./3rdparty/indi-eqmod/eqmod
E: Unsupported file ./3rdparty/indi-eqmod/eqmod given on commandline
E: Must specify at least one package to check builddeps for


How do i get build-dep working for eqmod?

I think the basic message from Hans is why isn't Raspbian Buster/Stretch etc not supported in the same way as Ubuntu Mate.

It feels, too many, that relying on Ubuntu Mate on the PI means Indi is always playing "catch up" (which of course is always going to be true to some extent) and Mate too far behind on PI support for "average joe user" who does not want to compile from sources but wants Raspbian - a fairly popular OS :-)

In effect they want a mechanism the same as Ubuntu Mate that provides an up todate version of Indi/Kstars/Indi and a simple(ish) update method.

I know that there are tech reasons why Indi relies on Ubuntu Mate (for the PI) but IMO I think its time to look if there is an alternative solution - after all PI does not update theeir kit that often :-)

Are the tech difficulties so bad ?

Could not Docker type approach be used - there was an attempt a while back !

In Buster the following line doesn't work :

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo apt-get build-dep libindi-plugins
Reading package lists... Done
E: You must put some 'source' URIs in your sources.list

I checked all the dependencies you indicated above and they are all fulfilled.

Worse the eqmod driver 1.74 can't be installed in Buster. Get thefollowing error " Dependency is not satisfiable libgsl2"

I can't install libgsl2 since libgslcblas0 is already installed:

pi@raspberrypi:~/Downloads $ sudo apt-get install libgsl2
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package libgsl2 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
libgslcblas0
E: Package 'libgsl2' has no installation candidate

So no progress

Thanks Stash, for me a INDI Debian package for Buster would be fine or maybe INDI can be added to the Raspbian repository. Note that Raspbian Stretch is no longer available for installation. Any new install of Raspbian on a Pi will be edition Buster.

Normally I program in Object Pascal and the IDE generates a single executable either for Linux armhf, Linux/Windows AMD64, I386 or MacOS x86_64 and it just works. Any library is included in the single executable file. No dependencies or separate libraries.

You need to activate the source repo in apt

Hello Copello,
I assume you mean enable the source code repositories? Is that something you can do in a Debian Linux and how? /etc/apt/sources.list ?
