INDI celestron_aux fails to build on Raspberry Pi4

[ewolfer67]

I ran the following script to set up celestron_aux.

#!/bin/bash

# Download dependencies
sudo apt install cmake libindi-dev build-essential

# Create projects directory
mkdir -p ~/Projects/

# Download indi 3rd party source 
cd ~/Projects/
git clone https://github.com/indilib/indi-3rdparty

# Setup celestron_aux driver
mkdir -p ~/Projects/build/indi-caux
cd ~/Projects/build/indi-caux
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ~/Projects/indi-3rdparty/indi-celestronaux
make -j4
sudo cp indi_celestron_aux /usr/bin/indi_celestron_aux

During the make -j4 I encountered the following error:

It complains about not finding defineProperty, which seems to have been added in #299.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Raspbian Buster - Astroberry Server
• Linux astroberry 5.4.83-v7l+ #1379 SMP Mon Dec 14 13:11:54 GMT 2020 armv7l GNU/Linux

Can confirm that switching to #297 solved the problem, so it must have been introduced in #299.

Maybe install libindi first? latest libindi from Github must be installed to system then re-compile indi-celestronaux ?

[ewolfer67]

My sh script installed libindi first.

sudo apt install cmake libindi-dev build-essential

You need to compile libindi from Github since the change is recent. Or use INDI nightly PPA.

[ewolfer67]

I tried PPA but got this error:
Error: could not find a distribution template for Raspbian/buster

[ewolfer67]

I managed to get celestron aux to build successfully by also building libindi from source.
Question: Is there any easier way to get this setup on a Pi? The nightly repo isn't compatible with buster and the shipped version of libindi-dev (astroberry) is broken with my hardware.
