OpenCPN 4.2.0 problems

[ValGal]

Just installed OCPN Version 4.2.0 and associated plug-ins.
Stumbling blocks:
1. The ge2kap (V19) appears not to be seen by OpenCPN (error msg says upgrade to current version).
2. OCPN Program crashes on closing, error msg then says "Crash report delivery module has stopped working."
3. "Options" button is greyed out and cannot access.
I have been unable to find the recommended OCPN log file to gain further insight.
Gurus, can you help please?

valgal...

First thing to do is manually remove the incompatible ge2kap PlugIn.

It is beginning to look like incompatible PlugIns are not benignly ignored as on O4, but are causing a hangup of the Options dialog initialization, at least.
And maybe more evilness....

Let us know how this goes, please.

Thanks
Dave

I just did a git pull of the latest OpenCPN repo into my existing one (4.0.0 Build 2015-01-08) and launched compiling (as I have done many times before). The core program seems to compile OK, but when it switches to plugin compilation I get the error:

/home/mauro/OpenCPN/plugins/chartdldr_pi/src/chartdldr_pi.cpp:  In member function ‘virtual int chartdldr_pi::GetPlugInVersionMajor()’:
/home/mauro/OpenCPN/plugins/chartdldr_pi/src/chartdldr_pi.cpp:219:12:  error: ‘PLUGIN_VERSION_MAJOR’ was not declared in this scope
     return PLUGIN_VERSION_MAJOR;

what am I doing wrong this time?

the squiddio_pi plugin crashes in 4.2.0 (at least in the Mac and Linux versions) when trying to view or download local waypoints. Here's the debug trace of the crash. Most of the other features work correctly

sorry but I am at a loss trying to figure this one out myself, and users are starting to report the problem. Any help is greatly appreciated.

re:
build error on chartdldr_pi...

There is a file name collision that results if you build over an old O4 source tree. You need to delete the file:

{opencpn}/include/version.h

Squiddio is failing as though the m_IconName member variable of class PlugIn_Waypoint is corrupted.

There was a change in the definition of this class for O4.2, adding a field right before m_IconName. So if you are using ocpn_plugin.h from O4 Release, there would be improper VTable linkage.

So, please double check the ocpn_plugin.h file used to build the PlugIn. The class should look like this:

class DECL_EXP PlugIn_Waypoint
{
public:
    PlugIn_Waypoint();
    PlugIn_Waypoint(double lat, double lon,
                    const wxString& icon_ident, const wxString& wp_name,
                    const wxString& GUID = _T("") );
    ~PlugIn_Waypoint();

    double             m_lat;
    double             m_lon;

    wxString          m_GUID;

    wxString          m_MarkName;
    wxString          m_MarkDescription;
    wxDateTime        m_CreateTime;
    bool              m_IsVisible;

    wxString          m_IconName;

    Plugin_HyperlinkList *m_HyperlinkList;

};

note the new field m_IsVisible...

Made the change to ocpn_plugin.h to try it and updated opencpn.lib to version 4.2.0
Its working now. Will upload to file thingie.

Please post a link to PlugIn on thingie, and I'll copy it up to the org site.

Do you confirm the reported failure, and the fix?

The squiddio file is under 4.2.0 PI WIN directory
Yes squiddio is working now with that change.
I had not noticed the failure, but I have confirmed that making the change and building it, then testing and it works under windows 10, Opencpn v4.2.0 I could find an earlier version and test if it failed (give me several hours).

There are other useful files for testing various plugins.

[coupdemistral]

rgleason, bdcat

your answers fixed both issues (squiddio_pi crashes and errors in compile). Thank you very much.

I pushed a new commit to the squiddio_pi repo with the updated ocpn_plugin.h file.

coupdemistral,
git fetched --all and git pull origin master then Tried to build for release
got these errors after I stashed my changes.

Dave. It looks like goodanchorage and objectsearch need a little work.

[rgleason]

I tried fresh builds and they still have problems.
