Almost there...

Hi Lucky,

I've been able to compile successfully your Siril_EAA extenssion on MacOS. (Took me time to get all the QT stuff up and runing) I had to modify the Makefiles.txt to include StateMAchine as i Run a 6.something version of QT

I placed my 3 files (exec, conf, and Icon) in ".../ApplicationSupport/kstars/extenssions/"

Put siril_path=/Applications/Siril.app

in conf file...

The i launched Kstars/Ekos (with simulators), but I'm unable to spot any Siril Icon...

What Am I missing ?

Cheers

Ok, I found it in the first tab of Ekos ! I tryed to play it, but i got those messages in the console :

2024-10-06T18:25:36 Extension 'Siril_EAA' stopped 2024-10-06T18:25:36 Extension 'Siril_EAA': Closing extension 2024-10-06T18:25:36 Extension 'Siril_EAA': Can not connect to DBus session interface, is the DBus deamon running? 2024-10-06T18:25:36 Extension 'Siril_EAA' started 2024-10-06T18:25:36 Extension 'Siril_EAA' start requested

No idea was is DBus deamon. A stuff from this QT package ... ?

Ok, Now I did install anr run this DB daemon...

But i got those errors diplayed in console 👍 2024-10-06T19:27:54 Extension 'Siril_EAA' stopped 2024-10-06T19:27:54 Extension 'Siril_EAA': Closing extension 2024-10-06T19:27:53 Extension 'Siril_EAA': Input file: /tmp/siril_command.out does not exist 2024-10-06T19:27:49 Extension 'Siril_EAA': Initialisation du support multithreading du FFTW... log: Bienvenue dans siril v1.2.4 log: Type de fichiers support?s : Images BMP, Images PIC (IRIS), Images binaires PGM et PPM, Images RAW, Images FITS-CFA, Films, S?quences SER, Images TIFF, Images JPG, Images PNG, Images HEIF. log: D?finir le r?pertoire de travail ?

With a caveat that I know nothing about the Mac environment and have no idea if this will work there...

DBus is a inter-process communication system. It's how KStars/Ekos talks to other applications. DBus is not native on Mac but apparently is available through Homebrew.

The above error about the fifo is to do with how Siril talks to other applications. It creates two fifo's - siril_command.in and siril_command.out to send and receive data. On Linux these are created in the /tmp directory. I don't know if this is the case on Mac. Also Siril currently fails to create one of the fifo on first run in headless mode - see the note in the README for the workaround.

Well, I launched Siril from terminal like this 👍 open Siril.app --args -p is it correct ? I think Siril is launched because in console message i can see "log: Bienvenue dans siril v1.2.4"

When i run Kstars with mount and camera simulator and lauch Siril_EAA, i got this

[LuckyEddie47]

With Siril launched from the terminal with the -p argument run a ls on /tmp. Do you see both siril_command.in and siril_command.out ?

[leafar-izen]

Yes, When i launch Siril with a /Application/Siril.app -aarg -p, siril_command.in and .out are created in /tmp/

Then, when i launched EAA from kstars, got this console messages 👍 2024-10-07T07:54:41 Extension 'Siril_EAA': ready status: starting cd read pipe /tmp/siril_command.in waiting to be opened... waiting for commands to be read from the pipe write pipe /tmp/siril_command.out waiting to be opened... opened write pipe opened read pipe closed read pipe log: Ex?cution de la commande : cd log: Exécution de la commande : cd 1728280481: running command cd read pipe /tmp/siril_command.in waiting to be opened... log: D?finir le r?pertoire de travail ?

Not sure what I'm supposed to do from there. Do I need to start capture or preview or loop from acquisition tab in Ekos ?

[leafar-izen]

Don't know if this is meaningfull for you, but when I try to display the content of the in and out files doing a cat siril.comand.in It returns nothing and get stuck, I have to stop the cat with a CTRL+C

PS : anyway, don't bother too much for me. I'm not really needing the feature right on. I've another livestacking method with ASI Live. I was just curious on how I can compile code for my mac, and I'm an anthousiastic user of Kstars, so, curious about how extensions will go. But if I can be of any help for debugging your app, don't hesitate to ask me for more tests.
