Bug ID: 385005 Summary: Kstars can not find the file TZrules.dat Product: kstars Version: git Platform: Other OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: mutla...@ikarustech.com Reporter: sheve...@gmail.com Target Milestone: --- Hello kstars developers, kstars can not find the file TZrules.dat I compiled kstars with this "AppDir" prefix: /Programs/Kstars/23.09.2017/ That means that this is similar to /usr/ as prefix, just another prefix in use. Upon starting kstars, a popup message shows up and says that it could not find the file TZrules.dat. This widget also showed where it was looking, aka the paths - this is by the way, very helpful to me, because that way I could instantly verify that the path is not there. And indeed, it is not. I was able to easily solve this by symlinking from: /Programs/Kstars/23.09.2017/share/kstars/TZrules.dat Into any of the directories that the widget told me (I picked my home dir because that is the easiest for me to memorize actually). Anyway, I am not sure if you guys want to fix this because from the 0.001% of the world population, I guess only 0.00000000001% may ever run into this. :D HOWEVER had, it should also be trivial to fix, too, so perhaps because it is so trivial to fix, it could be fixed. Several ways are possible, I suggest a simple one, to simply add the path that was picked via prefix (in cmake this is DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=) to the paths that kstars will check by default. This check can be omitted perhaps if the prefix is /usr ... perhaps even /usr/local but for any other paths, including /opt, I would recommend to automatically include PREFIX_TARGET/share/kstars/ since that is where that .file will reside. Thanks for reading anyway, please do feel free to close this issue at any moment in time. By the way, awesome application - I hope you guys can keep on it. While I am not even a hobbyist dude in regards to, well, the universe, I think it's kind of cool - a bit like google map, of course except that mankind can not (yet) walk on the remote stars. I hope you can remain motivated with kstars! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
