Source Code Merge Request #5: Android cosl/sinl etc workaround (open)

Hello, on Android at least arm8 cosl is borken and leads to incorrect conversions between epochs. I disovered it as part of poring indi software stack that uses libnova to Android.

I added a simple workaround - use cos/sin instead of cosl/sinl.

Thanks

Hi,
@Artyom-Beilis

As far as I know, the author (Peter Kubanek) migrated the full repo from here to gitlab, so this one is not maintained anymore.
Gitlab repo:
https://gitlab.com/libnova/libnova

BR,

Looks like both repos have same latest update 2016-10-24. 655bcd

I don't have an account in gitlab, I have SF and github. Since they are in sync it seems is is mergable to any location need.

Can it be handled?

I work on porting indi that used libnova to Android and it is a major issue.

You mean indi library & drivers for controlling astronomy equipment from Android? Sounds interesting. Do you have any progress on that? Maybe something I can test?

Anyway, you can contact the author of libnova by email and directly ask him:

Sure I already published a week ago first beta release of my App that runs indi:

Here some discussion on indi forum: https://indilib.org/forum/development/14981-putting-indi-drivers-to-a-library-to-run-on-android.html

I currently ported only telescope drivers since most cameras require proprietary SDK and special modifications to run on Android (due to permission models). From what I understand same for most common focusesrs

But at least for my needs (mount control), indi works and I anyway access camera directly via camera specific SDKs.
