Development Debugging Environment - Setup Help

[transmitterdan]

VS2017 is still actively supported by Microsoft. Updates are still coming. It is possible to have VS2017 and VS2019 installed side by side. So I think we can count on VS2017 for a little while longer.

Well, actually, I was using the wrong version of opencpn.lib. It turns out it was probably opencpn.lib for v4.99, now using opencpn.lib for v5.00 this Include is not needed in my environment. Now things are squared away I think.

Seems to have fixed it.

I have updated my RPi3 to latest experimental firmware and latest apt-get dist-upgrade. It is much faster and O seems pretty stable and snappy.

However, Now O will not build from source neither master or V5.0.x branches. There is an undeclared glx function. Does anybody else see this too?

how did you measure it? or is that subjective perception?

No. Works well with following set of packages

 cmake,
 libarchive-dev,
 libbz2-dev,
 libcurl4-gnutls-dev,
 libelf-dev,
 libexif-dev,
 libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev,
 libgtk2.0-dev,
 liblz4-dev,
 liblzma-dev,
 libpango1.0-dev,
 libsqlite3-dev,
 libtinyxml-dev,
 libunarr-dev,
 libwxgtk3.0-dev,
 libwxsvg-dev,
 portaudio19-dev,

TransmitterDan,
In tactics plugin I got errors that may be related

Your build has been stopped.

I changed the lib used to those suggested.

Rick,

You need to use the same wx version as what you used to build o. It may be you have 2 versions of wxWidgets or something is wrong with tactics_pi cmake commands. It’s looking for a version of wx but can’t find it.

I found the issue. Latest RPi libraries for GTK are organized now like QT so had to rework a #if defined to get the right header file included. I’ll verify the fix is ok and create a minor PR against master.

[transmitterdan]

The RPi 3 is usable. But now I’m having an issue with X11 taking a crash after about an hour. But it doesn’t seem to be anything to do with OpenCPN. I use VNC viewer in headless mode.

also depends on the correct opencpn.lib perhaps that was it?



Yes, I do have both wxWidgets 3.0.2 and 3.1.2 on the machine, but all of my environment paths and variables WxDIR, WxWIN & Wxwidgets_Root_Dir point to wxWidgets 3.1.2!

[rgleason]

BTW, the statement said,

This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or

However the following packages replace it:
libwxgtk3.0-0v5:i386 libwxgtk3.0-0v5

I took it to mean that it "has been obsoleted" or deprecated. I'll try it the other way again.

[rgleason]

TDan, This is about a Travis build for linux. The package libwxgtk3.0-0 was not available. Period. It has nothing to do with wxwidgets version or anything. Please see this failure.

E: Package 'libwxgtk3.0-0' has no installation candidate
The change fixed it.

https://travis-ci.org/rgleason/tacti...m=notification

I believed this would help you with your problem.

Sorry I got of track, thinking you were talking about windows, which of course does not apply.

[rgleason]

TDan you were right, travis file was setup for compiling the old opencpn v4.8.8 version and the wrong wxwidgets.


On another problem, getting two "get" errors for major and minor version numbers in tactics pi, when my remote compiled fine, the solution was to remove the old unused version.h in the src directory. This was suggested by Jon Gough and it worked.

Hi!

I get a bit confused when I am to download wxWidgets for building OpenCPN.
I am having trouble choosing the correct 7z-file.

https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/releases

There are files with :
vc90
vc100
vc110
vc140
vc141

Which should I download ?
Doesn't it matter if I stick 2 one of them for all my builds ?

I have a 64 bit machine so it should be a x64-file. That I understand.
Should it be the ReleasePDB or Dev-file ?

/Hans

None of these, follow the instructions from https://opencpn.org/wiki/dokuwiki/do...piling_windows

Yes, of course that's what I am following. Is there any other document I mistakenly could be using ?

In the document mentioned it says on page 2 "Building wxWidgets from source is required for OpenCPN Debug builds."
and "Download the current source code release from https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/releases"

Reading there it says "For Developers" We are developing, are we not ?
"For developing applications with wxWidgets you need to download the compiler-independent wxWidgets-3.1.2_Headers.7z file and one of wxMSW-3.1.2-vcXXX_Dev.7z or wxMSW-3.1.2_gccXXX_Dev.7z files depending on your compiler, its version and the target architecture (x86 if not specified or x64)."

Is this not true ?

You say that I should not download any Dev-file but you give me no hint of what I should download.
Perhaps it's obvious for you guys who are compiling OpenCPN or/and plugins all the time but not for me who set up the development environment once a year or so.
