Does this mean you can add an image handler on the fly in the plugin code, by calling Addhandler? Or do you use this call to include TIF in the compile of wxWidgets 2.8.12 dlls?

wxWidgets: wxImage Class Reference

static void wxImage::AddHandler ( wxImageHandler * handler)
static Register an image handler.
Typical example of use:
wxImage::AddHandler(new wxPNGHandler);

See Available image handlers for a list of the available handlers. You can also use wxInitAllImageHandlers() to add handlers for all the image formats supported by wxWidgets at once.
Parameters handlerA heap-allocated handler object which will be deleted by wxImage if it is removed later by RemoveHandler() or at program shutdown.

I look in
C:\wxWidgets-2.8.12\build\bakefiles
Bakefiles.bkgen and it looks to me like it has a wildcard for all the *.bkl files

This is pretty complex and I am at the bottom of the process here I think.

Also found this tidbit, which is a guy having trouble compiling without the tif library... but then he says it gets to be 2.4 mb.

On my computer using wxWidgets2.8.12 copied from Pavel two years ago,
it looks to me like TIFF is enabled.
Under C:\wxWidgets-2.8.12\include\wx\imageTIFF.h

In readme C:\wxWidgets-2.8.12\build
autogen.mk is a makefile provided to automatically update the GNU autotools
build system. It will run Bakefile, aclocal, and autoconf as appropriate.

---there is an TIFF bakefile... tiff.bkl
which exists under C:\wxWidgets-2.8.12\build\bakefiles

======

C:\wxWidgets-2.8.12\build\script\setup.h

under DEBUG if statement
Line 50-52
#if wxUSE_LIBTIFF
#pragma comment(lib,"wxtiffd")
#endif
Line 47-50
#if wxUSE_LIBPNG
#pragma comment(lib,"wxpngd")
#endif

It is also at line 99 which is under RELEASE if statment
#if wxUSE_LIBTIFF
#pragma comment(lib,"wxtiff")
#endif

So why does weatherfax_pi FAIL when trying to read TIFF?

[boat_alexandra]

As pointed out it only fails for monochrome TIFF and only in windows.

Maybe this issue goes away with wx version 3?

[rgleason]

Re two posts above about tiff problem with monochrome in windows. We have a temp solution for this. Pavel found a small freeware converter .... The plugin now works for Win dows. Thankyou sean and pavel.

Just upgraded to the latest Beta on Ubuntu.

OpenCPN Version 3.3.1931 Build 2014-07-31
Ununtu - 14.04 trusty lts

When I select the 'Options' button the application crashes out. Can't find an error messages or any log entries. Previous OPENCPN version was great.

Any ideas anyone?

[nohal]

Trusty...
Works just fine on my 14.04 testing machine. Please, if you can, run it using gdb and post a backtrace of the crash.
Install gdb

sudo apt-get install gdb

Run OpenCPN

After it crashes, do

(gdb) bt

and post the output

If you can't, try to get rid of your configuration for a while and see if it helps. If it does, post the config file you had while OpenCPN was crashing. To do it:

mv ~/.opencpn/opencpn.conf ~/.opencpn/opencpn.conf.bak

The one we will then be interested in is the ~/.opencpn/opencpn.conf.bak

If I remove the conf file ...mv ~/.opencpn/opencpn.conf ~/.opencpn/opencpn.conf.bak

then opencpn starts tells me 'no charts installed go to options...' and crashes straight away.

Temptress...

There is a problem with one of your installed PlugIns.

Simple workaround:
#rm /usr/lib/opencpn/libwatchdog_amd64_pi110_v10_pi.so

Now, to the root cause.
Where did you download this PlugIn from?
We know that this particular version of this PlugIn has troubles, but have not encountered it on AMD64 architecture yet.

Any info you can provide will be appreciated.

Thanks
Dave

[Temptress]

Dave

removed the plugin and it still crashes.......

FYI the plugins were downloaded from the link on OpenCPN.org

as i said - all fine on the previous beta build. Also noticed that OpenCPN crashed sometimes when I close the 'Show AIS Targets' popup - but not every time here!

BTW is running on INTEL \not AMD

Genuine Intel® CPU U2300 @ 1.20GHz × 2

[bdbcat]

Temptress...

OK, lets temporarily move or rename all the PlugIns.

#mkdir /usr/lib/opencpn/pi_save
#cp /usr/lib/opencpn/lib*.so /usr/lib/opencpn/pi_save
#rm /usr/lib/opencpn/lib*.so

If this does not work, we should look again at the gdb dump results as before.

Dave

[Temptress]

dave

that's done the trick - Options working now.

Now to get the plugins working......

perhaps I should download a new set?

[bdbcat]

Temptress...

First try to re-enable (i.e. copy to /usr/lib/opencpn) the two built-in plugins, GRIB and dashboard. They are the most reliable, tested, and built with the same tooltree as your base installation.

Dave - due to bad fingers I have deleted the 2 built-in plugins - do you know where can download them again?

Tried the AIS radar and status bar plugins - workng OK.....

You can't download them separately, have to reinstall opencpn or open the deb package with "Archive Manager" end extract them from there.
