Hi,
Having gathered some experience with building KStars for Linux on RPi2, and knowing that Android is based on a Linux kernel (if I understood well), I wonder whether someone on this forum ever tried to port KStars to Android?
As can be read on this forum we come to the conclusion that an RPi2 quad-core with 1GB ram is probably at its limits when running KStars.
Modern Tablets have also quad cores (even two quad core processors) and 3GB ram. KStars would find in a tablet sufficient resources if it could be compiled for Android.
Thanks in advance for your views about this topic.
Stefan
