I'm afraid it has nothing to do with "ifdef WXMAC", Windows or the such in chcanv.cpp.
After inserting this line

<chart-status-window transparent="true"/>

in file styles.xml as fourth line after the line with: <graphics-file name="toolicons_traditional.png" /> it should be OK.

Sorry for the trouble, something is clearly very strange on windows vs linux and I think it is probably wxRegion code.

Sean,

No, this did not fix the problem. With -no_opengl and traditional style the chart bar is not visible.

I just git fetched again and compiled.

Rick,

Do a new git pull. These errors are fixed in the latest git.

Thanks Dan, bdcat. Will do.

I'm not sure this is the proper thread, but...

Trying to build using the latest code out of git using the directions on the web page. Configuration is Windows 10, wx 3.0.2, VC 12 (2013), latest versions of cmake and POedit. During the build step for both debug and release I get:

opencpn.dir\Release\tinyxmlparser.obj
LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file '..\buildwin\crashrpt\CrashR
pt1402.lib' [C:\Projects\opencpn\OpenCPN\build\opencpn.vcxproj]

and

LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file '..\buildwin\crashrpt\Cras
hRpt1402.lib' [C:\Projects\opencpn\OpenCPN\build\opencpn.vcxproj]

Sure enough, there is no CrashRpt1402.lib in buildwin. Did I leave something out or is there a glitch in the instructions or ???

It seems you skipped "3.1 Get the binary dependencies".

Pavel

[Opu]

Pavel,

Getting the binary dependencies solved the problem. I read 3.1 to mean the dependencies were only needed for the Release version, but apparently they are required for the Debug version as well.

Thanks for your help!

I have reproduced the problem. It was caused by
4903ff92f5095b4174fc877cbecc56dc9920ea55

I am no longer sure what fix we can agree on. This change reverts the needed calculations without reverting the logic that uses it which causes the problem.

I was trying to modify the rendering so that it doesn't need to bother rendering the area under the chart bar because it is a waste of time and will always get completely covered by the chart bar. On typical screens this is only 3-5% of the screen area but I cannot see why a 5% improvement in rendering performance with no negative tradeoff would not be taken (imagine the result of many 5% improvements) For small screens like phones etc.. the area could be 15% or more which is even more significant.

If you have done this fault why you don't want to repair it and write cryptic things instead?
It works for me when I use transparent=true for the traditional tool-icon also and so it don't care me anymore.

hello, a few notes on dealing with Opncpn, and bluetooth txmtrs/gps receivers using a windows Asus tf 810c tablet running windows 10 upgrade and a globalsat BT 821c.
1. The tablet initiates the communication first so it seems to connect better with Open cpn running before the globalsat is powered on,
2. Occasionally the comm port will 'mysteriously' change and may be verified by clicking on the bluetooth icon on the taskbar then go to settings, and looking at the comm port by clicking on the second tab (labelled Comports, it may take up to 20 seconds fo the com port to appear) and setting up a new corresponding connection through the tools menu in Opencpn tools, i started at com4 and am now up to com9, but keeping all the parameters the same.

I would like to build for my Android using VS2013 and the core code, 4.1.909. Is "Visual Studio 2013 Tools for Unity" the correct tool? My goal is of course to produce a .apk file.
Tips? Hints? Other solution?
Thanks
Håkan

[nohal]

Hakan...
Forget about Windows and VisualStudio. You really need a Linux environment.

Hakan,

I understand that you will need the Android Studio
https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
the Android development environment.

Microsoft has announced that Visual Studio 2015 will allow to cross develop for Android and iOS, but how this is looking like and which constraints do exist has to be tested still.
In this context MS promotes Apache Cordova which is a Javascript based platform - so nothing to do with OCPN.
