Hi Ferdinand
See the reason for the checker board. ( I don't like it but that is only my
opinion)
In my computers some load the textures instantaneously so they are there from
the begining. (No checker board)
Others have an onscreen load bar at the bottom RHS of screen if the texture is
still loading. (now displays the checker board too)
Testing those other items may take some time. I have 8 computers (linked) but
they are not always on
They all have at least two operating systems available and some have as many as
8 including virtuals
I build primarily on this computer (also the server). If there is a problem I
try one of the other computers. If it also fails I report but if it does not
fail I try to find out which platforms fail. I average about 8 hours per day in
front of the computers.
There are a variety of Video systems ATI on 2, Intel on 5 and Nvidia on one.
Because of the time taken to build on each system I only test specific items
most of the time.
for example to test the atom processor yesterday took nearly four hours to
update Qt and MinGW, Then download the latest build and finally compile it.
Admittedly most of the processes progressed without any input from me.
Checking the log can also involve pulling a different build and re-compiling as
the log gets overwritten each time I load Stellarium.
