FITSIO CMake build

From Cygwin, in Octave prompt:

pkg install -verbose cfitsio

This should build and install FITS from C source without errors.


Load the fits package by:

pkg load fits

This enables Octave FITS read/write functions.

Building CFITSIO from source with CMake

Building CFITSIO manually is not necessary; this is just for reference:

curl -O https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/FTP/software/fitsio/c/cfitsio_latest.tar.gz

tar -xf cfitsio*.tar.gz

cmake -Bbuild

cmake --build build

ctest --test-dir build
