Yes, your fix is correct. Affects only windows where I didn't test.
I will commit the fix shortly.

Pavel what do you mean Bout "affecting only windows" ? I found it to compile fine and cpack worked. Will have to update for 2015 though.

Rick..
The bug was enclosed in a IF(WIN32)........ so other OS don't see it.

rick...
cmake configure step definitely failed on Windows until https://github.com/nohal/wmm_pi/comm...19ef32ca877858 as Hakan reported.
No need to build now, there are no interesting changes at all.
New version for the 2015 epoch will come after NOAA releases the model on December 16th

PS: I think I already built using your version Pavel. https://github.com/nohal/wmm_pi/comm...19ef32ca877858 and that's what is on Opencpn Beta File Thingie

--well maybe not, this commit was just 2 days ago.

Hi all...
NOAA released a new World Magnetic Model for the 2015-2020 epoch earlier today. I have updated the plugin to include it and would appreciate a bit of a test before it will be published on the official download page later this week.
I don't expect any problems (the model as expected gets broken for dates before and after it's validity, especially on weird places like the equator), but give it a shot and let me know if you find something weird.

Besides the new model version there are no new features added.

Also please check the translations at https://crowdin.com/project/opencpn and update if necessary.

Get the version 0.99 for your platform (Windows, Mac, 32-bit, 64-bit and ARM Linux) from https://sourceforge.net/projects/ope.../files/wmm_pi/

Thanks

Pavel

[Hakan]

Thanks Pavel
New table - new data. On my location the value changed from 2.9 to 3.1.

A tip if there are more careless fellows like me
Be sure to delete any occurrence of the old WMM.COF in the /Plugin root. It seems that this is read first if present. (The new wmm.cof is located in /plugins/wmm_pi/data/

Hi Pavel
I downloaded the new WMM.COF file yesterday (as soon as I got the mail from NOAA), deleted the old one and put it instead. I briefly tested it (5°, 1° declination plot, value on the icon at several points...). Everything seems fine. Put a thread on the French forum Hisse et Ho, but it attracted little interest

Hello Pavel,

Same test than Sailor54. No problem. Work fine.

Pavel, thankyou. Compiles fine here, and runs. Win7

[jean_pfoumf]

Hello,

works fine with W8.1

and with xubuntu 14.10

[CarCode]

Although it works there are still 18 issues (logic errors, memory leaks) in wmm_pi here:
5 in wmm_pi.cpp
1 in MagneticPlotMap.cpp
12 in WMM_SubLibrary.c

Example: MagneticPlotMap

Gerhard...
Would you mind posting the whole report? What you show on the picture is a false positive, but I'm going to commit a fix to make even the less smart statical code analyzers happy.
