OK, assuming you've collected all the necessary libraries, here's
what you need to do to build and run Celestia:
configure
./configure --with-INTERFACE [*]
make
make install
[*] INTERFACE must be replaced with one of "kde", "gtk", "gnome", or "glut".
Four interfaces are available for Celestia:
- glut: minimal interface, barebone Celestia core with no toolbar or menu...
- GTK: A full interface with minimal dependencies, adds a menu, a configuration
dialog some other utilities.
- Gnome: The full GTK interface plus a few Gnome integration goodies, such as
preference saving in GConf. This looks and works almost identical to
the Windows interface.
- KDE3: brings contextual menus, toolbars, KDE integration, internationalization,
bookmarks...
preference saving in GConf. This looks and works very much like the
Windows interface.
- KDE3: brings contextual menus, toolbars, KDE integration,
internationalization, bookmarks...
By default the KDE interface will be built. It requires the various kde-devel
packages.
To build the Gnome interface (requires gnome-devel and everything GTK requires):
To build the KDE interface (requires various kde-devel packages):
configure --with-kde
To build the Gnome interface (requires gnome-devel and all GTK requirements):
configure --with-gnome
To build the GTK interface (requires gtkglext and gtkglext-devel):
configure --with-gtk
To build the GLUT interface (requires glut and glut-devel):
configure --without-kde --without-gtk
configure --with-glut
The configure output tells you which interface has been selected, you should
check it before running make.
For KDE you will get:
checking whether to enable GLUT... no
checking interface to build... KDE
checking whether to disable GTK.... yes
For GTK:
checking whether to enable GLUT... no
checking interface to build... GTK
checking whether to disable GTK.... no
And for GLUT:
checking whether to enable GLUT... yes
checking interface to build... GLUT
checking whether to disable GTK.... yes
At the end of the configure output shows which interface has been selected, you
should check it is correct before running make.
Starting with version 1.3.1, Lua is the new scripting engine for Celestia,
the old homegrown scripting engine is still available. By default Lua support
will NOT be compiled in, to enable it you need to download the Lua library from:

The GtkGLArea widget that is required in order to build Celestia with Gtk+ may
be downloaded from http://www.student.oulu.fi/~jlof/gtkglarea/ . Note that
depending in your Installation Distributions you may also need other packages
containing various information needed by the build process, for instance, to
build under SUSE Linux, you will also need to have the gtk-devel package
installed, and having GNOME's devel packages present also is probably not
a bad idea (in fact, currently absolutely necessary for the GTK version).
The GtkGLExt widget that is required in order to build Celestia with Gtk+ may
