Hi,
Anyone as a working Appveyor setup for github?
It could help a lot for this kind of stuff.

For viewing github repositories you can use any browser.
Updating a repository at github you may use e.g. "GitHub Desktop"
https://desktop.github.com/
or any other tool for your OS. I use e.g. "SourceTree" with macOS and even Xcode supports Github. SourceTree informs me in real time about new diffs of registered repositories.

Yes we are. And you are saying the github sources have something wrong. They do not have anything wrong that prevents building without error.

Remember the old programmer's proverb: read the code not the comments. The compiler ignores the comments and so should the programmer.

For Windows there is "git GUI" that has an excellent repository browser. Also, Microsoft visual studio has an excellent git repository browser.

You have forgotten to show us where to find "cairo.h" in the OpenCPN sources. That was the question, see here: http://www.cruisersforum.com/forums/...ml#post2473637

Remember the old forum rule: Read before write.

Cairo.h comes from the buildwin dependencies as explained on the instructions for building under Windows. It is not in the opencpn.git repository. I said the same thing several posts above.

Thank you.
So you finally admit the OpenCPN sources are lacking something to build it without errors. Why it is so difficult for you to understand? Just wondering...

Gerhard,

Debating with you is kind of interesting. There are many things needed to build OpenCPN that are not included in the github repository. Obvious examples are the compiler, wxWidgets libraries and other things. The Cairo library is one of those things and it has been conveniently placed in a 7-zip file along with several other necessary things (e.g. crash reporter) so Windows developers can easily find them. This is not anything different than building under Linux where Cairo has to be gotten from some Linux package repository. It is not part of OpenCPN. It is part of the SVG support libraries used by many other applications. And it is therefore explained on the OpenCPN developer's instructions how to get it.

So one may have to ask if it is perhaps a violation of the GPL rules when the code does not compile? As seen in another thread Android people have similiar problems.

The code does compile.

I have found that it is better to be a little bit unsure about the facts as I understand them, because I often learn more significant facts from my friends here, that serve to guide me. I'd like to thank you all, including Gerhard, TDan, Pavel, Mike, Jon, Dave and countless others for your help and knowledge. Please keep in mind that this is a unique community which really does work together, our personalities become clear over time. Let's give each other some room, as is necessary in every family. --For my part, I promise not to post so much! ---As I have been given that observation by a friend here.

Hi,

Version 4.4.0 is a fork and there's stuff in it missing in master and 4.8.0, like :
'Correct direction arrows display when no GL && hight definition graphic'

Ring a bell to someone ?

[bdbcat]

did...

Probably part of some backport effort. I'll check.

Any others that sound interesting?

Hi,

I ran:
git cherry -v upstream/master v4.4.0 |grep ^+
And after double checking false positive there's 3 grib stuff from Jean-Pierre:

+ 7ebff876985baa0f6ee98b986375e3d1c99d345d Correct manual grib zone selection logic

+ 041bc01e5446f4b8a3f112cfa41ad241f24b7523 Correct direction arrows display when no GL && hight definition graphic

+ 1f975218111f917ff6bacf8881c2b41655b99092 Correct grib "weather table" date/time logic

We need 'Correct Direction...', current arrows aren't rendered if OpenGL is off.
I'm not sure for the two others.

Haven't run it on other branches yet.

[P_Dub]

It is all OK in Windows.
