Linking Error on Building a plugin on Mac OSX

Asked by Saloni Mundra

I have a plugin for stellarium that builds fine on Ubuntu but throws an error when I try to build it on Mac OSX. I tried to change the CMakeLists.txt files to make it compatible on OSX but I repeatedly get the same errors. The messages I receive are:

I followed these steps after copying my plugin into stellarium's plugins folder:

mkdir -p builds/unix
cd builds/unix
cmake ../..
make

@gzotti What does this line mean and how do I solve it?

The linker cannot find anything in /src. /src is a subdirectory of the top level (root directory).

From the last lines above, it may be that you need to set variable CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR so that ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/src can be resolved.

Indeed, the line above that:
SET(STELLARIUM_SOURCE_DIR $ENV{STELROOT})

commands cmake to set its variable STELLARIUM_SOURCE_DIR from the environment variable STELROOT. So, set that environment variable and you should be up and running.

Can you let me know how to do it? I am new to stellarium and need to fix the problem ASAP. Thanks in advance.

Instructions on https://github.com/harpreetrathore/Openskyplanetarium

are pretty clear. I don't have a Mac and don't know if working with a folder $STELROOT/builds/macosx will be enough.

Something like typing

export STELROOT=/path/to/stellarium_sources

in a terminal should be enough to set it for that terminal session.

I don't know how you set an environment variable system-wide on MacOSX. But I am certain your favourite search engine will know it.

I have already implemented it. I have followed the instructions specified on https://github.com/harpreetrathore/Openskyplanetarium
and it compiles fine on an Ubuntu machine, but the same thing does not work on Mac OSX.
