StellariumPluginTemplate

Startpoint for the dynamic plugin development. Based on the HelloStelModule plugin.

Building the plugin

Tested with: Qt 5.6.1, CMake 3.5.1, Stellarium 0.18.2, Ubuntu 16.04.1. Other operating systems are NOT yet supported.

  1. Set all variables

     QTDIR=Path to Qt (/opt/Qt5/5.6/gcc_64)
 QTPATH=Path to Qt (/opt/Qt5/5.6/gcc_64)
 PATH=Path to Qt binaries (/opt/Qt5/5.6/gcc_64/bin)$:${PATH}
 LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${QTPATH}/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}

  2. Install and build the Git version of Stellarium as per the instructions on the Stellarium wiki:

https://github.com/Stellarium/stellarium/wiki/Compilation-on-Linux

  1. Set the environment variable STELROOT to the root of the Stellarium source tree. The Stellarium build directory is expected to be:
 $STELROOT/builds/unix

  1. Create a sub-directory builds/unix and change into that directory.

  2. Run:

 cmake ../.. 
 make
 make install

If all goes well, the relevant files should be built and copied to your ~/.stellarium/modules directory.
