C'an install oeSENC plugin on Opencpn 5.2.4 under MacOS Big Sur

[TI REV]

The installation of the oeSENC plugin fails due to missing library : libwx_osx_cocoau_stc-3.1.dylib

This is only visible in log :

17:17:30.638 MESSAGE pluginmanager.cpp:2232 PlugInManager: Loading PlugIn: /Users/ricard/Library/Application Support/OpenCPN/Contents/PlugIns/liboesenc_pi.dylib

Looking in OpenCPN.app/Content/Frameworks, the file libwx_osx_cocoau_stc-3.1.dylib is missing, while some other libwx_osx_cocoau_... files are present.

How can I get this plugin working, please ?

What version of the oeSENC plugin are you trying to load? Not enough of the logfile to see....

Seems to be the case even (/at least/also) with the latest 4.2.19.26

# otool -L "/Users/nohal/Library/Application Support/OpenCPN/Contents/PlugIns/liboesenc_pi.dylib"|grep libwx

FWIW, the standard OpenCPN installation with the oesenc plugin installed via the plugin manager on my dev machine results in a particularly interesting mix of libraries loaded at runtime

# vmmap 75297 | grep libwx | cut -c 100- | sort -u
      /Applications/OpenCPN.app/Contents/Frameworks/libwx_baseu-3.1.2.0.0.dylib
      /Applications/OpenCPN.app/Contents/Frameworks/libwx_baseu_net-3.1.2.0.0.dylib
      /Applications/OpenCPN.app/Contents/Frameworks/libwx_baseu_xml-3.1.2.0.0.dylib
      /Applications/OpenCPN.app/Contents/Frameworks/libwx_osx_cocoau_aui-3.1.2.0.0.dylib
      /Applications/OpenCPN.app/Contents/Frameworks/libwx_osx_cocoau_core-3.1.2.0.0.dylib
      /Applications/OpenCPN.app/Contents/Frameworks/libwx_osx_cocoau_gl-3.1.2.0.0.dylib
      /Applications/OpenCPN.app/Contents/Frameworks/libwx_osx_cocoau_html-3.1.2.0.0.dylib
      /Applications/OpenCPN.app/Contents/Frameworks/libwx_osx_cocoau_webview-3.1.2.0.0.dylib
      /usr/local/lib/libwx_baseu-3.1.5.0.0.dylib
      /usr/local/lib/libwx_osx_cocoau_core-3.1.5.0.0.dylib
      /usr/local/lib/libwx_osx_cocoau_stc-3.1.5.0.0.dylib

The base of the final solution probably is to include the full set of the WX libs in the OpenCPN installer. Short term oesenc_pi has to be stripped of the wxstc dependency or needs it linked statically (if that can be done at all) I'm afraid.

Version of plugin is 4.2.19.26 and OpenCPN is 5.2.4+6b314e6 (the latest versions at this time).
I've succeeded running the plugin making some hacks.

First was building wxWidgets version 3.1.2 and copying the missing dynlib to OpenCPN Frameworks folder.

Another problem was found : the plugin can't find and run oeserverd.
I've managed it making symlinks under ~/Library/Application Support/OpenCPN/Contents/Plugins (which is in the $PATH).

So that works for me now, but I shouldn't make any OpenCPN upgrade until the problem is fixed...

TI REV, et al...
Both MacOS installation problems corrected in oeSENC_PI Version 4.2.19.28, available in master catalog now.

Perfect ! thank you. I've just tested and it works.

Have tried to update my charts and get the following alert:

Cannot find the oserverd utility at
{"/Users/Tony/Library/Applications Support/OpenCPN/Contents/Plugins/oeserverd"}

(Note the is a spelling inconsistency between oserverd & oeserverd)

Indeed, when I look in the Plugins folder, the only relevant things there are liboesenc_pi.dylib

I have tried reinstalling the plugin but to no avail.
I have lost my charts too and we are off sailing for six weeks at the end of this month.

Any ideas about what is going on, please?

Running MacOS 10.15.7 Catalina
osSENC 4.2.19.28

Previously, I'd solved this issue by creating a symlink to oserverd in plugins folder :


$ cd "~/Library/Application Support/OpenCPN/Contents/PlugIns"
$ ln -s ../SharedSupport/plugins/oesenc_pi/oeserverd .
