I changed FS#2075 Tracker priority to high, since it is a Lost feature described in the User Manual.

PlugIns for OpenCPN 4.2 | Official OpenCPN Homepage

Calculator v1.3, released 2013-04-06 This is a calculator & mathematical expression parsing plugin.
Would you like to know your hull speed?
Download:
Source Code
Windows

Does not work with O4.2.0 and it should. There is a message that it is not compatible.

Also the plugin is version 1.3 rather than version 1.8. Isn't it possible to get the mu-parser version working with windows?

With the latest pull, cmake can't find CURL on my system even though it appears to be installed:

Hello
I got same problem when building OpenCPN in Linux.This problem occurring due to you are not exported Curl library path and curl include path correctly. OpenCPN using cmake to instead of configure so please read cmake documentation first .It is not same as ./configure .You can add your path dynamically or in static way.I will tell you how to use it in dynamic .

cmake -DCURL_LIBRARY="your path to curl library"/libcurl.so -DCURL_INCLUDE_DIR="Your path to curl include folder" /include ../

Note:Include exact path to libcur.so else u get error.

I am sure this will work. .

Some .kap charts no longer display correctly. (They work on 3.2 but not on any 4. release)

This is an example:

Since I don't see any difference in the kap file header I guess it is an issue with the scanned image, but OpenCPN 3 handles it

Fred...
Old versions of OpenCPN were correcting broken KAPs on the fly. The new ones don't do it anymore as the number of damaged charts circulating around decreased significantly and we gained some extra performance during chart loading.

To fix your charts, run bdbfix on them.

Pavel

Added Kap info as FAQ.
FAQ | Official OpenCPN Homepage

Is bdbfix for linux only? Where is it found? Can Windows use it?

[wingssail]

Thanks for the tip. bsbfix worked on the first chart I tried, now have about 260 to do but I think I can make a script to do that in one pass.

FYI bsbfix is in the libbsb project and can be downloaded here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/lib...e=typ_redirect

To all developers from OpenCPN.
Besides a great job done by the Ocpn team, we discovered one tiny mismatch in the program.
Since 1-11-2015 the new Inland-AIS-A standard version-2 entered into force. OCPN does not show shipnames from all new version-2 transponders?

With regards...

What could be causing this?

Would like to update OpenCPN on this machine to current 4.5

[nohal]

Rick...
No problems here with the current master.
First of all clean your build directory completely and try again.
If it still doesn't work, try to remember what you did to your machine between the last time you successfully created the installer and now.

Pavel,
Good advice!
Just found OpenCPN 4.2.1 crashed due to 5 plugins that had been removed by Norton Scannning without even giving me notice. I turned off all additional plugins in opencpn.ini and overrode Norton "Suspicious.Cloud9" designation for several of the plugins and restored those files that I built. One of the quarantines was for a plugin under the NSIS directory.

Now Opencpn 2.1 runs fine, and I tried NSIS Packaging again with "cpack", but it still fails. I suspect Norton removed some valuable file and quarantined it. I'll find the problem...
I've got 154 days with Norton left, but have no idea what to do after that.

Thanks.
