photometric colour calibration failure: malformed url?

Software Siril

build: 86ccf1f4

Hi
Trying to solve e.g. this image (but same with any image):
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1s6huooExar4C4nKGLDDPD_AuhomqM5g1/view?usp=sharing

Any ideas?

The Simbad link returns garbage. With the other two catalogues, it seems to add a : (colon) to the end of the URL:

12:45:14: Reading FITS: file r_pp_NGC_281_Light_stacked.fits, 3 layer(s), 5208x3476 pixels

12:45:46: Error loading url: http://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/cgi-bin/nph-sesame/-oI/A?NGC281: The specified location is not supported

With the colon:

NGC281: #Q022886

#!Sic=Simbad@CfA, all IDs: ! ‘NGC281:’ this identifier has an incorrect format for catalog:

Without the colon, it works:

The semi column is added by the log:
siril_log_message(_("Error loading url: %s: %s\n"), url, error->message);

And for me no problem:

do you have glib-networking installed on your machine?

4

Yes, we have glib-networking.

The solve works fine with: da080c4

It does not work with the latest git: 86ccf1f4

The colon is passed as the last character of the url:

We haven’t changed anything recently

This is probably a build problem of glib or a non supported OS for glib networking. Use curl instead with the meson option enable-libcurl or use autotools to build siril, I think it’s the default with this build system if curl is available.

Thanks.
The autotools build works fine

**We’re on Ubuntu 22.04, which is one of the most common Linux distributions. Would it be an idea to get the meson configure defaults working with it?

Cheers and thanks for all the hard work.

No no. This is just in the log. That’s all. But not passed in the url.

9

Ok. Thanks.

Just so it doesn’t catch others…

Ubuntu 22.04

It works fine using the autoconf ./configure build.

It doesn’t work with the meson-ninja build.

Thanks again.

We need more information about compilation errors.
We change a lot of things in the meson/ninja stuffs.

11

Hi
We don’t see any compilation errors during the build. Both autoconf and meson produce a working siril.
Cheers

12

What are the config lines do you use in both cases?

Hi everyone

Tracked down to the fact that meson doesn’t include curl by default. You have to specify it on the command line, e.g.

meson setup --prefix /usr/local --buildtype release _build -Denable-libcurl=yes -DlibXISF=false

Thanks and apologies for not realising earlier.
