Stellarium 0.10.5

Stellarium is a free open source planetarium for your computer. It shows
a realistic sky in 3D, just like what you see with the naked eye,
binoculars or a telescope. It is being used in planetarium projectors.
Just set your coordinates and go.

Many thanks in advance,

Jonick

I will try to make a PBI for this port.

Stellarium is now available in the AppCafe.

Fresh install of pc-bsd 9.0, stellarium, installed from AppCafe, fails to start.

From terminal:Shared object "libGLU.so.1" not found, required by 'stellarium'

Possibly related, Doom3 also installed from AppCafe fails to start:

From terminal: ERROR: ld.so: object '/compat/linux/usr/lib/libGL.so.1'from LD_PRELOAD CANNOT BE PRELOADED: ignored

'locate libGLU.so.1' shows it is installed at /compat/linux/usr/lib/libGLU.so.1

Ideas?

It looks like it is not working with the 64-bit installs of PC-BSD. The PBI is only the 32-bit version (because the 64-bit PBI gets a segmentation fault immediately), so the libGLU library that is needed is probably the 32-bit one. I will take a look into it to see if there is something we can do to fix this.
As an alternative, you could try out the KStars PBI and see if that one will meet your needs instead.

Here is PR with patch attached. Maybe you can temporarily add this patch to pbi of stellarium so amd64 users can run native code (or run it at all, stellarium from pbi does not work for me on amd64, dumping known 'Shared object "libGLU.so.1" not found, required by "stellarium"' message)? Actually, 0.11.3 amd64 version from ports "works" for me on pcbsd 9.0 without a patch (works is in quotes because almost all text is scrambled, but graphics otherwise is fine), 0.11.4 does not build, probably because of outdated qt4* stuff.

We actually just finished building new versions of the stellarium PBI's. I already approved the 32-bit PBI, but would you mind testing out the 64 bit PBI on your system to see how it stands up? You can fetch it from here[1].

Great! stellarium-0.11.4-amd64.pbi from URL above works for me (the same as 0.11.3 from ports). Finally, i've managed to workaround the problem with scrambled text - just started stellarium is safe mode (-s key), now everything is fine: text is not scrambled on both amd64 0.11.3 from ports and amd64 0.11.4 from PBI. So my vote is go ahead and approve this PBI if noone has any objection.

It stood well on my AMD64 computer.
