Comment(by jtomshine@…):

 Kdeedu4 maintainers & users,

 I've figured out how to re-enable the "Devices" menu in kstars -- a part
 of kdeedu4, and my modified version can now connect with an INDI server
 and appears to work okay.  It only requires commenting out two lines of
 code in the original kstars CMakeLists.txt file as documented here:

 [http://www.jshine.net/bleue/]

 This makes kstars expect INDI though, and it expects an INDI library in
 the "normal" linux directory, so I had to also create a symlink or two for
 things to function properly.  I could make a patch for the kdeedu4
 portfile that re-enables the Devices menu, but that might also create a
 new dependency on INDI.  It would also add (re-enable) kstars' telescope
 hardware-control functionality though, and IMHO, it would be worth it.

 What are other people's thoughts on this?  I'd rather not spend time
 making & testing a patch if the consensus is that it's not worth adding a
 new dependency...

 Thanks,
 -Jon

 /P.S. -- At the moment, I can't get qt4-mac to compile for some reason
 after a recent selfupdate, and that's breaking all sorts of KDE stuff, so
 tragically I can't take a screenshot at the moment -- not until I get
 qt4-mac working again.  Not sure why it broke...
