installed where the executable seems to expect them. Specifically it is looking
for them in /usr/local/share/stellarium but never installed them there during the
'make install'. A quick workaround is to symbolically link /usr/local/share/stellarium
to the source directory, in which case, stellarium runs.



OK! Thanks! Will have a look at the Linux executable that is running first.

Hi Gary

I only build in linux when there are problems with the windows build

I always put the source code into a folder stellarium and make the build file stellarium\builds\unix
From that folder I run cmake ../.. and then make. I don't bother with the make install. Saves space in my limited linux partition

I then just copy the stellarium executable from stellarium\builds\unix\src to stellarium and run from there

The plugin modules need to be build separately up to the current build.

These days I build in windows mostly because I am the only one building there regularly and lots of problems show there that don't occur in Linux or on on a Mac. MinGW is a fiddly compiler for c++ sometimes.
