Settingup a new Windows 10 (debug) development environment, following the steps from the manual I got the following error doing the debug build (cmake --build .)

Error copying file "Release/opencpn.pdb" to "Release/opencpn-4.99.1508.pdb".

As I did not do a release build yet the release directory was indeed empty.
So after this I did a release build, successful. Then again the de debug build, this time successful. But now the build is using the opencpn.pdb from the older release build. And in the /Debug directory there is a later version available. Is this the intention?

Douwe...

I don't see how it could use the release build PDB in debug builds. I also don't see how it could want to copy the release PDB during a debug build as CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE should always have a value of "Debug" in such a case (https://github.com/OpenCPN/OpenCPN/b...ists.txt#L2813).
Will have a look next time on Windows.

This has been hanging around for quite awhile. I thought it was fixed, but it is not.

Also I believe that climatology no longer can read *.gz data!!!!

Problem with oe-chart plugin.
When I have installed the plugin in OpenCPN v.5 I get thise errors trying to activate the plugin. ( see att).
I have tried on 2 windows computers and also tried to complete remove OpenCPN and reinstall again.
Sorry the screen dumps are in Danish. The text are:
Program code execution of the program code cannot continue because MSVCR120.dll was not found. The problem may be resolved by reinstalling the program.

Do you have the correct latest version of the plugin for OpenCPN 5.0? If so, go to https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/down....aspx?id=40784 and download and install the x86 version of the MSVC 2013 redistributable package that contains the DLL missing on your system.

I've seen the same message on some of my XP machines.
They seem to need MSVCR120.dll so I've both that and MSVCR140.dll available on these PCs.

In an earlier beta thread I talked about running a native Linux version of OpenCPN V5 on native Windows (no virtual machine). At first it seemed there was no way to display graphics in a stable manner. But after some trial and error I have a stable version of O5 for Linux running on Windows. Below is a screen shot. This is using the WSL app (Ubuntu for Windows or previously known as Bash for Windows).

The "trick" is to install a window manager (xfce) and an rdp server (xrdp). So in this respect it is a lot like a headless mode. In fact, it's exactly like headless mode. It will also run within ddd so debugging is possible. So far the overall system seems very stable, responsive and usable. It's a pretty good development platform IMO.

And just for a bit more fun, we see OpenCPN running via RDP from an iPad.

This is a fully functioning navigation system on a wireless LAN with iPad as the MFD display. All Linux plugins work that I have tested (radar_pi, grib, chart downloader, weather routing, etc.).

Is OpenCPN using Semantic Versioning 2.0.0? https://semver.org/

If so, leading zeros are not supposed to be used (something I did not know). Note that I have read most of but not the entire set of rules in the document, It is intended to avoid dependency hell, and espouses a well documented public api.

How to get appveyor to push built file to an opensource public Github repository.

Problem is authentication and security. There are multiple ways to do it, I have tried the one outlined here:

Suggestions/ Help would be appreciated. (There is a long list of commits focused on this..)

Git push origin [tag] like"v1.9.1-ov42" can now result in

Appveyor push via webhooks (read, write) to a new Github Release.

Has anyone experienced non MUI plugin Icons simply disappearing from the Toolbar?


It happens when I close a plugin, particularly experienced with VDR, weather_routing and VDR. Sometimes the Icons will drop out, one by one, but they always leave or reserve their space, and they do activate the plugin when the black square is clicked.


I can get all the non MUI icons back by shrinking the Toolbar with the top BARS and then expanding it. See images.

Looks like a bug to me.

Has anyone seen a problem with chart downloader on raspberry pi? The O git master creates the libchartdldr_pi.so without errors. But when O loads the shared object library it reports failure. I ran strace and see wxWidgets is able to use dlopen() to open the file and examine the ELF data. But for some unknown reason dlopen() doesn’t like it and unloads it before returning to wxWidgets library. The other base plugins don’t exhibit this behavior.

What hardware/OS?
