Star Catalogs
Santiago Roland
Where i can download xephem friendly star catalogues for astrometry? I
would like to download USNO B1, UCAC 4, maybe NOMAD catalog... are those compatible with xephem? I've been using USNO A2.0 for many years but i need to upgrade... Thanks, -- Santiago Roland.- --------------------------------- Jabber: santiago@... Diaspora*: Identi.ca: openPGP ID: 7BE512C5 openPGP key: --------------------------------- |

Re: build steps for cygwin

Magnitude problem
Santiago Roland
Hi guys, i'm having an odd magnitude problem in XEphem. We own an
ordered copy of XEphem 3.7.1 (including the catalog CDs) and some faint asteroids show as 2 or 3-ish magnitude. I updated the version of XEphem packaged for Debian distros from this site () and the error remains unchanged. I attach a screenshot of my problem so you can help me out. I'm trying to compile now the version following this tutorial () P.S: I compiled RC 3.7.7 and i have the same... Any help would be great! Cheers, -- Santiago Roland.- --------------------------------- Jabber: santiago@... Diaspora*: Identi.ca: openPGP ID: 7BE512C5 openPGP key: --------------------------------- |

Re: Yosemite Broke XEphem
All,
I've tried the two changes I posted last week now on three systems and they always work. So that appears to be pretty good solution. Again: to run a pre-Yosemite executable: ? sudo ln -s /opt/X11 /usr and to build a new one from source follow the instructions in INSTALL but first: ? change the two Makefile lines as per my post on Oct 18 in this thread. Thanks for using XEphem. Elwood |

Re: Yosemite Broke XEphem
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýthat one *should* be easy to resolve:?
use the command
??? locate Intrinsic.h (or whichever way you prefer on a mac) and adjust your Makefile where it is. I had the /opt/X11 experience already with a 10.9 release.? It baffles me how AppleInc just randomly decides to deprecate established conventions, but then again, it's apple. I think we have far worse things coming for developers. I'm still sticking it out on linux for the time being. On 10/18/2014 03:31 PM, ngc6352@... [xephem] wrote: ? |

Did you download a fresh image? You might have stale paths in an old macro. Chris? On Sat, Oct 18, 2014 at 12:31 PM, ngc6352@... [xephem] <xephem@...> wrote:

Re: Yosemite Broke XEphem
Compile it from scratch.? Just read the readme file and install Xcode from the app store.? It is free, and installs all your compiler doo-dads. Chris On Sat, Oct 18, 2014 at 10:47 AM, ngc6352@... [xephem] <xephem@...> wrote:

Re: Yosemite Broke XEphem
Yes, Yosemite moved the X11 libs. XEphem executables built prior to upgrading looks for X11 libraries in /usr/X11. It seems they are now in /opt/X11 but I am not sure yet how universal that will be. If you use macports, they are in /opt/local/lib. So you might have to poke around a little. When you find them, to make your existing executable work, you can make a symlink. For example, XEphem worked for me again after I typed the following in a Terminal:
sudo ln -s /opt/X11 /usr If you build fresh from source, things get easier in the sense that your result will use the proper location, but it gets worse because the Makefile that ships with the source tarball needs to be adjusted. Change the two lines from CFLAGS = $(LIBINC) $(CLDFLAGS) -O2 -Wall -I$(MOTIFI) -I/usr/X11R6/include
LDFLAGS = $(LIBLNK) $(CLDFLAGS) -L$(MOTIFL) -L/usr/X11R6/lib to CFLAGS = $(LIBINC) $(CLDFLAGS) -O2 -Wall -I$(MOTIFI) -I/opt/X11/include
LDFLAGS = $(LIBLNK) $(CLDFLAGS) -L$(MOTIFL) -L/opt/X11/lib (or, again, where ever you found the .h and .dylib files) I did confirm that the libXm.a that ships with the tarball does still work on Yosemite. I'll post as I figure out more. Sorry for the hassles. Thanks for using XEphem. Elwood |

Re: Yosemite Broke XEphem
I am running Xephem through macports and a build that was compiled for Mavricks.? They both are running fine after an upgrade to Yosemite I just finished a few minutes ago.? Recompile, and give it a go. Chris? On Fri, Oct 17, 2014 at 3:22 PM, Dan Frezza dan@... [xephem] <xephem@...> wrote:
