Raspberry Pi

[wschwack]

I would like to install PlanetaryImager on a Raspberry pi. Is there any chance?

Hi, we don't have any precompiled package at the moment, but it's surely possible compiling from source, as long as you have the right libraries. I think in Rasbian Stretch they're already at the right version (I mean Qt in particular)

Hi,

I just successfully compiled PlanetaryImager for RPi4 after installing the dependencies. I had to tweak the CMakeLists.txt to include the following line:

set(CMAKE_CXX_LINK_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_LINK_FLAGS} -latomic")

Without that I would get a linking error at the very end of the compile process.

However PlanetaryImager won't start. In terminal I get this and nothing else:

Starting PlanetaryImager - version 0.7.70 (armv7l)

Any ideas?

Ok. It seems to start okay if I run it as root. No idea why that would be required?
