Hi folks,

I spended some time on getting Stellarium working.
edit: the real work was done by xalioth, BIG THANKS to him!

edit2: update: stellarium 0.10.3 has been released officially and I pushed it into the extras-devel repo.

It uses Qt4.6, which can't be considered as stable, and I use the latest stellarium version (0.10.3) the official release.
so all in all I don't know how stable it runs, feel free to test it, but use it at your own risk :-)
Official homepage:
http://www.stellarium.org

Developer, sources, scm:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/stellarium/
https://code.launchpad.net/stellarium


Some additional information:
-optimised for maemo (installation in /opt/stellarium)
-the default config file knows the correct screen size sry, doesn't... my fault.... to fix this:
change values for screen_w and screen_h in
/home/user/.stellarium/config.ini
Code:
181,182c181,182
< screen_h                            = 768
< screen_w                            = 1024
---
> screen_h                            = 480
> screen_w                            = 800
-compiled without several plugins (Satellites, TelescopeControl etc)
-for deselecting a star use the rightclick gesture: a long click, just hold down on one point on the screen

Known Bugs:
-some issues with the fonts when displaying a star description
-option dialog is too big

N2H:
-GPS integration
-Follow your star?

Thanks for tackling this port, great work! The libqt4-maemo5-* dependencies aren't working, but everything else went fine after I installed them manually according to your post above.
Rendering with 3-6 fps, even in my language (german). Looks gorgeous.

Possible bugs:
  • Configuration window: how to close??? Fills screen, no escape key :-)

For anyone interest: Here are two nice small tutorials from Utah State University that cover the basics:The full docs can be found here.

Looks very nice Can't wait to test this out in the field. Maybe in the future you could even use the sensors to know where the phone is directed at.

I don't think that you have to install each pakage one by one, I think you can just use "dpkg -i stellarium_0.10.3r4182-1_armel.deb" and after you get dependency error use "apt-get -f install", this will install all needed packages. When it's done it should be installed.

Great work, thank you!

How about using the accelerometer for navigation ?
So you can "point the device at what you want to identify" kinda thing..
Will this work ?

Are you gonna give this app gps data cuz that would be the fastest way to configure location.
