Now it is down to one error. ...."opencpn.lib" did not link.

"C:\project\weatherfax_pi\buildwin\weatherfax_pi.vcxproj" (default target) (4) ->
(Link target) -> 
  LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'opencpn.lib' [C:\project\weatherfax_pi\buildwin\weatherfax_pi.vcxproj]

     1 Error(s)

Opencpn.lib should land in the "build" directory. These are the critical lines:

before_build:
  - cd c:\project\weatherfax_pi
  - mkdir build
  - cd build
  - ps: Start-FileDownload https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/opencpnplugins/opencpn_lib/4.99.1405-vc141_xp/opencpn.lib

When I use the url, I get to the correct place and opencpn.lib downloads.

Still getting two errors,

Rick,

When you look at the build output, you should start from the beginning of the log and search for all 'error' occurences. There are some due to files being called error.c etc, but you will find that the first real error is:

CMake Error at C:/project/weatherfax_pi/build/cmake_install.cmake:40 (file):
file INSTALL cannot find "C:/project/weatherfax_pi/buildwin/PVW32Con.exe".

And indeed, when I look to the latest version of your appveyor.yml file on the ov50 branch:
https://github.com/rgleason/weatherf...0/appveyor.yml
I don't see where PVW32Con.exe is downloaded. So I persist, you must re-add the lines you removed which download PVW32Con.exe into the buildwin directory.

Stelian.

From the Console Output for that version of appveyor
I have inserted a bunch of dir c:\project\weatherfax_pi.... to see what is actually happening.

..
Everything is Ok

The absolute path is "c:\project\weatherfax_pi\buildwin"
Since it is absolute it should download to that location, even though the current directory is set on "c:\project\weatherfax_pi\build" to run the cmake commands.

Just below that is the DIR command:

 dir c:\project\weatherfax_pi\buildwin

Also I downloaded it myself, using the browser
https://sourceforge.net/projects/ope...taudio-vc12.7z

and checked the file contents. There are only two files portaudio ...lib and portaudio ...dll.

Yet, as you note

CMake Error at C:/project/weatherfax_pi/build/cmake_install.cmake:40 (file):
file INSTALL cannot find "C:/project/weatherfax_pi/buildwin/PVW32Con.exe".

So does this mean we are missing pvw32Con.exe in that download? OR
Does it mean that cmake_intall.cmake on line 40 is looking for the wrong file pvw32Con.exe?

Note, I am not sure where I got that command to download ...portaudio-vc12.7z
but it may have been from another plugin maybe rtlsdr.


Thanks for all your help. It would be very nice to get this going in ov50

Rick, you are talking about portaudio I'm talking about PVW32Con.exe !

Look at line 41 of appveyor.yml on master branch.

Stelian.

[rgleason]

SXXT! What a PITA. Thanks.

[rgleason]

Stelian, thanks that worked.

Great stuff, thanks. One thing just spotted, seems that you can only have the last downloaded image in the fax box selected, used to be able to overlay different images.

Uwe reports:
So having said this, I use – very heavily – OpenCPN (as this is THE tool on board for me as well and for most of the ww sailing sailors). During these calls I use my prepared “briefing package”, preloaded on OpenCPN and here “WeatherFax”!!!” as you can see on the attached screenshot (besides the GRIBs and some text info you get from meteo-stations).
You see in the Weatherfax-window all the charts I am using for the Med and the North Atlantic. Usually I could simply display one of th echarts, by clicking on the entry e.g. “German Weather DWD Surface Analysis” – then you want to see the 24hr forecast – formerly I could simply click on the entry (German Weather DWD – European – 24hr Forecast entry) and it was displayed. This doesn NOT work any longer, you can ONL click on the last entry and here nothing happens (as this chart is already displayed) and when you double click, you open the calibration menus ….

Due to this I have to switch back to OpenCPN 4.8.8 and use the Weatherfax version, which still works….

I've checked most all of the links in Uwe's updated wxfax files and adjusted coordinates in just a few locations. We attach the required weatherfaxinternetretrieval. xml and coordinatedatasets.xml files to update your weatherfax internet retrieval files. Please remove the ".pdf" and use 7z to uncompress.


Next step will be to update and improve the downloads on github.


Thank you Uwe!
----------------------


WeatherFax Update Notes:

The weatherfaxinternetretrieval.xml and weatherfaxschedules.xml files must be maintained and updated by all the USERS!
Contribute your special url's and schedules for the benefit of all.

1. Mauritius – Files exist confirmed via browser on the web, accessible vie the homepage within browser. Directly URL access not possilbe….Protection of some sort?

2. Singapore – This needs work. Several charts, wave height and swell, no longer work. Format must has changed. The surface wind charts work.

3. Japan - Unable to calibrate the charts, format is not polar or anything similar. Also VERY small, numbers hard to read, left at the best compromise

4. South Africa - Internals of the website must have changed, not able to get any access to the charts.

5. French Polynesia – same thing as in SA.

6. Chile – Polar file is hard to calibrate almost impossible to get a perfect mapping.

7. We need better coverage for Asia, Malysia and Japan.

8. We have lost some sources for Europe and could use more coverage.

Uwe's updates to the weatherfax URLs are now in the exe download at this location:

https://github.com/rgleason/weatherf.../tag/v1.8.002e
called weatherfax_pi-1.8.002e-ov42-ov48-new-xml-win32


Because this version has not been working right with some of the changes made for android, I decided to revert to a previous version that works well and provides the cursor selection and action that users expect, and allows the weatherfax decoder/wizard to be stretched to allow data entry and essential operations.


The link in the download pages will be updated too.
