Pavel..
Ok, but I can still build a .apk on a PC but in Linux? (It's easier on a machine with a keyboard and stuff.) Hints for that?
Thanks
Håkan

Hakan...
Yes, of course. You actually must do it on a PC, there is no way to build directly on the Android toy. And before you start investing effort into this, look at https://github.com/OpenCPN/OpenCPN/b...android/README - If it looks complicated, give up for now. If still not convinced, good luck.

re. "If still not convinced, good luck." --- You're so nice !!
When I received your humble answer I was actually reading the file referred to in your link. OK, I get the point - "give up for now"

The reason for all this is:
a) I have some own fixes to OCPN, mainly due to my dated Nav instrument not sending expected NMEA strings, and would like these also when running the tablet.
b) a maybe odd attitude to what's fun in this world.

The b) item would get me to try follow the "buildandroid" hints during a coming cold winter day(week)?

And Hubert, I saw that about 2015 as well.

Thanks

I think the biggest problems you will face are the hardcoded paths, and the undocumented steps. Also, don't forget to clone https://github.com/bdbcat/wxWidgets because it's a little diverged as well.

Maybe you should just post what specific problems you have. I kind of lost interest on building because I have no android device and it doesn't work in the emulator.

[seandepagnier]

On second thought.. maybe I can build for x86 android as them I should get opengl and it will run much faster as well in the emulator.

Thanks for your comments. I'll revert when I'm ready to "struggle" with this.
As said, when winter arrives here and evenings get longer.

Hi.
The thread for 4.1.915 is no longer there but anyhow:
Build error report VS210 and the new? mipmap:
Code 4.1.915 fetched today. Windows built VS2010.
(In VS2013 build was first also errors as "Couldn't link a mipmap....." But after rebuild it is OK there.)

These are the errors but could it be some linkage trouble here as well that VS2010 can't handle?

I have had a look into this mipmap stuff and decided not use it in any way.

Gerhard...

Any particular technical problem with the MMX intrinsic mipmap code? It is admittedly not yet well tested on Mac....

Thanks

Dave,
I have had only a quick look at this code and guessed it is not needed for Mac OS X. So I don't have compiled it. Also I don't use any texture cache and such things which belongs more to small computers like Raspberry etc. My mind of these things might be affected by the endless attemps of OpenGL optimizations last year by a particular person. So I double check when something comes from this side again.

BTW I now use the new Xcode version 7.0 which shows new memory leaks not seen before but they are reasonable.

Gerhard

[bdbcat]

Gerhard...

Fair enough.

We will have the MMX code enabled for all platforms in the next Beta, which is planned for early next week. Then at least we can test and validate the concept widely, and decide if it makes sense.

Thanks
Dave

Win error report 2. Fetch 30 minutes ago.
VS2010 still has the same error in mipmap but now also the errors copied here.
VS20123 now has these errors:

Fixed now in github.

Thanks for checking.

Dave...
Thanks, now builds OK in VS2010 and VS2013 with reference to glTexCache.
But still the same mipmap errors in VS2010.
