Thanks, I will take a look at those plugins.

Hakan, These techniquus should become a page in Advanced! When I get a chance, I will do so, also the earlier wifi technique.

Cgreen how about reviewing/crating one of the simpler plugins documentation for us?
We encourage all users to become Editors to maintain the manual!

You'll learn more about OpenCPN guaranteed!

Sure, I will eventually get a few notes together. I've got some further setup and testing to do first, to try and make sure I've got a robust solution for what I need to do... Thanks.

Hi OpenCPN team. While trying to compile on Windows (VS2015) faced with the problem.

It's nearly impossible to say what is wrong. It seems you are not following precisely the Windows build instructions. If you follow the instructions exactly you will never arrive at such a directory structure. My advice would be to start over and follow the developer manual instructions precisely. Try to build the current git master. Once that works you can try checking out the old 4.4 branch and see if it will build. Why are you building 4.4?

I tried again many times, trying to follow instructions precisely, and every time I encountered such a problem. First I tried to compile master brunch, but then an another versions, including 4.4
It seams like the linker found the same definitions in both expat.dll and wxexpatd.dll libraries. But i downloaded an the expat and other binary dependies according to instructions from this link https://sourceforge.net/projects/ope...in.7z/download

Stn92,

What wx version are you using?

Are you running cmake from command line or building from inside the VS2105 IDE?

I just built the master branch with VS2015 and did not get such errors.

If you follow directions exactly you will have some directory like this:

C:\users\bla\bla\OpenCPN\build

I don't see OpenCPN\build which you should get by following the directions exactly.

3.1.0

Cmake? From Cmake GUI. Compilation from VS2015 GUI

C:\users\bla\bla\OpenCPN\build

Sorry, but I have just such a directory structure

Cmake from Cmake GUI. Сompiling from VS2015 GUI

If you follow directions exactly you will have some directory like this:

But i have.

Full patch to my build directoty is - C:\Users\virtualBox\Desktop\Project\OpenCPN-master\build

If you use git clone to create the source tree you will never see a folder named OpenCPN-master. I have no idea how you got that.

I downloaded zip archive. That`s why i have this folder name.Now I have used "clone git" and I have another folder name but the same compile errors.

A quick question about Watchdog: If you have a boundary (exclusion) alarm setup, aside from the available audible alarm, message box, and command options, is there anywhere that the boundary name gets logged or is made available at the time that the alarm triggers. In other words, if I have a boundary called NoGo35 or something, when I get close to or cross into that exclusion zone, is that alarm recorded anywhere? Thanks for any pointers. Chris

I maybe should make this question a bit more specific. Is there a way to log watchdog alarms to a file? This would be very useful, acting as an audit trail (log file) of alarms as they occur. Chris.

Cgreen I don't believe that feature exists. You could make a feature request under Tracker - pi_watchdog
