Hi Nicolas,
Below is a patch generated by my version control client for kst\cmake\3rdparty\CMakeLists.txt in order to get the FITS and NetCDF plugins to compile:

I haven't tried a 64-bit build of KST yet, although I might give it a try at some point now that I'm getting to grips with CMake...

Samuel Theobald

Hi Sam,
That sounds interesting. Peter is the one who set this all up, I hope he's still on this list, he would probably need only a few minutes to get this sorted.
Please send a patch/procedure to this list. The last time I tried to compile kst under windows with all the plugins that's where I got stuck... By the way we don't have a proper 64 build with all plugins. If you've managed to get one it is definitively interesting to share.
Then we have to see how to integrate this into the continuous build infrastructure (Travis).
Nicolas
Post by Sam TheobaldHi,
When recently learning to compile kst on Windows from the latest source
on github, I found that the fits plugin (and NetCDF) failed to build
due to the location of the external code that gets downloaded has
changed.
I'm guessing this is why the latest automated build versions might not
have them.
I managed to get them to build by updating
kst\cmake\3rdparty\CMakeLists.txt to point to where they had moved/been
archived to. I decided not to change the version of the files to
something newer as I do not use these plugins and couldn't test them.
I'm not on GitHub (yet?) and new to the process of submitting code
changes, but could post a diff on here of what I did if it would help?

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"
Hi,
The latest precompiled windows versions at github and sourceforge (32
bit versions with plugins) don't seem to have the FITS plugin that
Nicholas Chapman submitted a year or two ago. Is there a version
somewhere?
I know I should dig in and build from source but I'm lazy and short on
time.
Thanks,
Steve

Hi,
I am not aware of a version of this plugin, sorry. I never compiled it
on my side as I’m not using this format… Maybe Peter can help if he’s
still listening on that list, he’s got most of the infrastructure ready
to compile Windows versions.
It would be nice to have a second source, though. Anybody feeling up to
it? I could provide some guidance, even though my (professional) PC
with Windows is locked due to security measures, preventing me from
compiling a Windows version right now.

FWIW (disclaimer: I started this thread =), I'm a newbie to qt and q/cmake, but have been around the digital barn a few times. My problem is I'm a bit lazy and impatient - even with a great piece of software like kst. Like most of us I have a pretty full plate that limits tangents.
Since I want KST to thrive, I feel a bit obliged to mention that I gave a go at both a linux and windows builds and couldn't get them to work within my perhaps-OCD-driven half hour-ish threshold. I'm *sure it was 95% my ignorance, but I felt saddened I couldn't do it easily. I'm sure it was something small. It may have even been a line I subconsciously skipped in an INSTALL doc in front of me ... But I was hoping for a ./configure; make; make install experience.
Again, I want to reiterate that I think kst is an amazing piece of software
(efficient!) And many thanks to all the writers. I just wanted to let
folks know my experience.
Regards,
Steve
p.s., as far as FITS support, I ended up writing a FITS to dirfile converter so I'm all good =)
