Installing Stellarium 0.10.0 from source

[status001]

I've been using Ubuntu Hardy for eight month. That makes me a newbie to this. I figured out the most difficult thing about Linux is installing a software without any internet connection. Even if you have a net connection, you may have not the updated version of a software since it is not added to your repository. I use Stellarium-the desktop planetrium of version 0.9.1. Wherever, I've found out that, later two versions are already released. I've download the source file from here

http://www.stellarium.org/
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/stellarium/stellarium-0.10.0.tgz

I found too many ways to install this source in internet, but since I'm a newbie, I don't know what to do exactly. If you are kind enough, please download and install it yourself and post the whole process on this thread. I'll be very pleased for this help. Thanks in advance.

Please do not post any link that leads me to another page. If you are very interested, then do what I'm asking. Thanks.

First open a terminal (Applications>Accessories>Terminal) then install a few packages that you will need installed to compile this program.

sudo apt-get install build-essential automake1.9  autoconf cmake gettext libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev  libsdl-dev  zlib1g-dev  libpng12-dev libfreetype6-dev libboost-dev libjpeg62-dev  libcurl3-dev  libqt4-dev doxygen  graphviz libsdl-mixer1.2-dev

Then download the Sterllarium program if you have not already done so to your Desktop. Then change directory to your Desktop

cd ~/Desktop

then extract the downloaded file with

tar zxf stellarium-0.10.0.tar.gz

then change into the newly made directory

cd stellarium-0.10.0

then make a directory that you are going to use to build it

mkdir -p builds/unix

Then change into the newly made builds directory

cd builds/unix

then

cmake

If that passes without errors then move onto make

make

if that passes without errors install it with

sudo make install

If you don't want to install it but just want to run it, you can do that by skipping the sudo make install part and doing this:

cd ../..

builds/unix/src/stellarium

@Partyboi2
If you really want to help then please download it compile and install and post the terminal log. Please do not just copy paste some command from another web page. I've read this instruction before I post this thread here. Atleast you can help me by downloading any small package source compile and install it on your computer and please post your terminal log here. That will be very generous of you. Thanks.

I did download and compile this program. You just did not mention in your first post that you were wanting terminal logs

Please do not just copy paste some command from another web page.

What I posted was the steps I took to compile this program. All you have to do is copy and paste them into a terminal.

Atleast you can help me by downloading any small package source compile and install it on your computer and please post your terminal log here. That will be very generous of you. Thanks.

I have since reinstalled ubuntu, but if I have time tomorrow I will download and compile it again and uploaded my terminal logs for you.

[Partyboi2]

Here are the terminal logs.

Thanks for the log. But, still not working. I don't know what is my problem. Everything goes right till 13% of installation. Here is my log. If you do understad this promlem, please help. And by the way, are you using Intrepid? Mine is hardy. Is there anything problem with that. I've installed all the dependecies mentioned in Stellarium-Wiki.

Are you sure? From the error it looks like you are missing libqt4-dev. Copy the code below and paste it into terminal (thats ctrl+shift+v), then try again.

I've seen this list before. And I download all these dependencies.
One thing you don't know that, this version of
Stellarium needs libqt4-dev version >=4.4.1.
Which is not in Hardy repository yet. Though,
I download libqt4-dev 4.4.3 from ubuntu launchpad.net and installed them. There were no dependency problem for it. Later, I check the above dependency list using Synaptic Package Manger. I can asure you, all the dependencies were installed in Synaptic. Now, any suggestion?

[cvaty]

any idea whats going on?
