I would like to use the astrometry software suite on windows, specifically the executable files, not the web interface.
However, there are no recent and maintained binaries for Windows I could find.
One documented solution is to use the Windows Subsystem for Linux. However, this requires nevertheless to perform an OS switch (change of shell), which means I can't directly use it inside a Windows-based workflow.
What can I do ?
What I tried : build astrometry on Windows
see .html#build
It fails at the very core step of building astrometry itself.
Astrometry is based on a make build system, and their build process is built for/on Linux.
It includes a step of (re) building parts of the Gnu Scientific Library (GSL; shipped with astrometry code). This GSL build relies on a several thousand lines of code in bash script (~15 kLOC). But thats not the only part where it fails.
It is possible to build most of Astrometry dependancies by hand via VS Studio + cmake + some effort. Best way I found was to use vcpkg (Microsoft) which has a repository of recipes for lots of lirbaries.
In the end, make invokations fail anyway ... for example:
Makefile:204: update target 'config.h' due to: target does not exist

I even tried:
- to force make to use powershell as the default shell, but it explodes when
touch,uname,rmand other Linux commands are called ... - to fix a few lines here and there in the make's spaghetti of scripts/configuration files, but It seems insufficient.
Here is an attempt of a powershell script to "do all the astrometry build process". It could be better, maybe.
The script creates .bat level commands for touch and uname, because make creates and invokes .bat files, even if we pass a powershell. But to no avail.

Reset to default 0The best I could come up with is this.
The strategy
build astrometry on WSL
write powershell commands to mimic astrometry via WSL single calls like this one:
PS > wsl -d Ubuntu --user foo -- solve-field --version
0.97
# except I want this syntax
PS > solve-field --version # WSL under the hood
0.97
Side note : wsl -d Ubuntu --user foo -- solve-field --version also works with Windows 11 DOS shell. The following could be adapted as a .bat file.
The recipe
Install astrometry on WSL Ubuntu via the
./astrometry-0.97/doc/install_astrometry_on_linux.shinstall script (it is aslo possible to do it via APT install but I can't tell which version it's using). Beware that it could require some slight modifications depending on Ubuntu version. Here is my modified one.Also be aware that the script downloads tons of Gibi of stars catalog.
Since I had to make some tests, I modifed it to save and restore the catalogs instead of reinstalling them.

Powershell can call Linux commands via wsl.exe <some params>.
However, several Linux PATH defining commands may not be available, so astrometry could not be natively visible.
An explanation I found here to deal with weird errors at single wsl invokations: https://www.reddit/r/bashonubuntuonwindows/comments/l92hoh/question_modify_path_for_invoking_from_wslexe/
Quoting:Edit2: Finally found the issue. 6339 to be precise. That linked to a nice blog post explaining that
.bashrcdoesn't get run, but a custom file with specified by$BASH_ENV. Using u/lookanerd's link, I needed to set 2 environment variables in Windows:Name Value BASH_ENV ~/.bash_env_noninteractive WSLENV BASH_ENV/u And then put my exports into
~/.bash_env_noninteractive(or whatever you want to name it)../bash_env_noninteractiveis where you would force the $PATH to astrometry within Ubuntu.
$ cat ~/.bash_env_noninteractive
PATH="/usr/local/astrometry/bin:$PATH"
- Create on or more powershell scripts that mirror each astrometry commands like this :
function Convert-PathToWSL {
param (
[string]$winPath
)
$wslPath = wsl wslpath "`"$winPath`""
return $wslPath.Trim()
}
function Invoke-AstrometryCommand {
param (
[string]$command,
[string[]]$args
)
$wslArgs = $args | ForEach-Object {
if (Test-Path $_) { Convert-PathToWSL $_ } else { $_ }
}
$wslCommand = "/usr/local/astrometry/bin/$command " + ($wslArgs -join ' ')
wsl -d Ubuntu --user foo -- $wslCommand
}
function solve-field {
# TODO: better args management to isolate path and rest of solve-field args
$newpath = wsl wslpath """$args""" # WSL directive to convert Windows path (\) to linux convention (/) and apply WSL mouting points
# wsl -d Ubuntu --user foo -- /usr/local/astrometry/bin/solve-field $newpath
Invoke-AstrometryCommand "solve-field" $args
}
# TODO : write all other astrometry commands from /usr/local/astrometry/bin/
Find a way to put script into PATH at powershell load. Here is an attempt located at
C:\astrometry\astrometry.psm1. You can add this file to your autoload powershell file, for me its here%USERPROFILE%\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\profile.ps1and already contains some conda magic. Simply add the line:Import-Module -Force C:\astrometry\astrometry.psm1Finally unlock the full mapping:
function Convert-PathToWSL {
param (
[string]$winPath

# Write-Host "input Path $winPath"

That's the best I could come up. All astrometry commands can then become available on command line, **and all input windows paths would be automagically transtyped to Linux :) **
The other way would be to join astrometry dev team & create & maintain the build process for Windows. (and get rid of make)
Some caveat to keep in mind:
- you may need to explcitily set the distro WSL should use (
-d) otherwise, it could call the default one, which could be completly different environment. In my case, it was set to a docker-related default value.
PS > wsl --list
Distributions du Sous-système Windows pour Linux :
Ubuntu-22.04 (par défaut)
docker-desktop-data # this was a default one, and wsl wslpath does not work nicely with this one ...
Ubuntu-24.04
Ubuntu
- for
wsl wslpathI had to set the default distro to Ubuntu otherwise I would get cryptic errors from WSL ...
