Good news: now you can use your Kobo AuraHD device to navigate to other star systems, both distant and nearby

Seriously, I fixed StarPlot to be useable on Kobo AuraHD and here is the patch:

http://www.bibles.org.uk/patches/starplot-0.95.5.patch

First you grab the original sources from here:

http://www.starplot.org/downloads/st...-0.95.5.tar.gz

Extract the sources and patch them and then do the usual "./configure; make". The resulting starplot binary is not using the buttonbar (too small to access on a highres AuraHD screen) and instead binds all the functions to keyboard shortcuts. Documentation is the actual source code, just read my patch --- it is all quite obvious.

Btw, you can use it without invoking onboard keyboard because I also bound the functions to those panel keys on the second panel (ZoomIn/ZoomOut, Home/End, Left/Right, PageUp/PageDown). This is very convenient as it allows to utilize full screen space without wasting much of it for onboard.
