Climatology

[seandepagnier]

Rick,

To build an installer on linux (or windows when I cross compile) I execute from the build directory.

make package

You need to have installed the nsis installer system. There is a project on sourceforge, and I believe an installer for it (probably built using itself)

[rgleason]

From MSVC++ open file C:\o-plugin\climatology_pi\build\climatology_pi.sln
Dropdown pick Release
Build > Build Solution
Then highlight INSTALL on the left panel
Pick Build INSTALL

Until we get an Install Package working,
Can others please test Climatology too?
You will find it as dll in Opencpn Beta File Thingie under the latest beta version.
Plugins-Beta -CLIMATOLOGY_PI DATA
Compiled current as of June 2,2014
Opencpn Beta Login - Plugins - rguser, rgpass. Pick the most current Opencpn version.
1. Download CL-DATA-10.zip from Sourceforge or File Thingie which includes lightning data.
2. Copy them uncompressed to opencpn/plugins/cliimatology/data/ directory.
3. Put the dll in your plugins directory.
4. Use the most current Opencpn beta available on opencpn.org downloads.
5. Read the readme.

Rick,

Could you please try on the command line to compile and build the package. I don't know of anyone who uses a gui to do this, and I don't think it can work. Just type "make package" in the same place where "make" builds the plugin.

[rgleason]

Tried "make package" on another plugin I think it was wxfax, it was an unrecognized command. I have installed the nsis program and run the batch file as directed in opencpn dev documentation. Then tried nmake package and some others.

[rgleason]

Ok it was rtldsr_pi and I used makensis so will try again.

makensis is a program which must be installed and is invoked from "make package" otherwise maybe you can search for information on how to use cpack. I think with visual studio you might have to use nmake, but not sure. Check the makefile.

Down to

NSIS (Unicode)

Needed only in case you intend to build the installation package for OpenCPN. Not needed for normal development.
Get it from Downloads - unsis - NSIS branch that supports Unicode. - Google Project Hosting
The NSIS Unicode 2.46 setup file is also included in the GIT repository -> ..\buildwin\NSIS_Unicode\nsis-2.46-Unicode-setup.exe
Direct download link: http://code.google.com/p/unsis/downloads/detail?name=nsis-2.46.3-Unicode...

Download and install it. Due to a "bug" in CMake, which only looks at "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NSIS" for the installation location of NSIS and the Unicode version adds its registry key in "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NSIS\Unicode", there is some registry tweaking needed.

Previously I had not installed this, so I had to do it and I also ran the Batch file that they say to run to make the registry tweaks.

[rgleason]

Used Notepad++ to open C:\o-plugin\climatology_pi\buildwin\nsis.template.in

There are comments at the top

; CPack install script designed for a nmake build

;--------------------------------
; You must define these values

!define VERSION "@CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION@"
!define PATCH "@CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION_PATCH@"
!define INST_DIR "@CPACK_TEMPORARY_DIRECTORY@"

Tried nmake package and it is also unrecognized.

I think I have to read more. This needs to be more explicit in the instructions I think.

[rgleason]

Command Line Usage

tried from the build directory

"makensis myscript.nsi" ...not recognized..

I think Pavel would know the answer.

[rgleason]

How to fix “not recognized as an internal or external command� in Windows

Yes, it is probably an environment path problem as I thought all along.

[rgleason]

Well actually I tried clicking on
C:\Program Files (x86)\NSIS\Unicode\makensisw.exe

A program comes up MakeNSISW (Unicode) - not from command line
Note in window shows:

Usage:

- File | Load Script...
- Drag the .nsi file into this window
- Right click the .nsi file and choose "Compile NSIS Script"

So I dragged C:\o-plugin\climatology_pi\buildwin\nsis.template.in
into the window and got the following results. ___There is an error on line 38.

after

"@CPACK_TOPLEVEL_DIRECTORY@/@CPACK_OUTPUT_FILE_NAME@"
Usage: SetCompressor [/FINAL] [/SOLID] (zlib|bzip2|lzma)
Error in script "C:\o-plugin\climatology_pi\buildwin\NSIS.template.in" on line 38 -- aborting creation process

in the NSIS.template.ni file line 38 is

;Set compression
SetCompressor @CPACK_NSIS_COMPRESSOR@

Are we missing some libzip files? or bzip in the folder?

Here is a command line attempt.

cd C:\o-plugin\climatology_pi\build
SET PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files (x86)\NSIS\Unicode
makensis    --> displays list of commands
makensis ../buildwin/NSIS.template.in

-- displays a long list ending with the same problem at line 38

It is now clear that I have to add C:\Program Files (x86)\NSIS\Unicode
to the Environment Path statement, and reboot.

[rgleason]

The top line of the NSIS.template.ni has cpack.
cpack is an installer packing command from cmake.
I tried it from the build directory... and this time it ran because I had the nsis pathname in the environment path variable!

C:\o-plugin\climatology_pi\build>cpack
CPack: Create package using NSIS
CPack: Install projects
CPack: - Install project: climatology_pi
CPack: Create package
CPack: - package: C:/o-plugin/climatology_pi/build/climatology_pi-0.8-win32.exe
generated.

C:\o-plugin\climatology_pi\build>

We'll that was exciting. the file
climatology_pi-0.8-win32.exe is located in the
C:\o-plugin\climatology_pi\build\_CPack_Packages\win32\ NSIS
folder.

This file contains the dll, the data subdirectory and a few files. It does not contain all the data files. Those will have to be loaded separately.
See the CL-DATA 10 7z file and uncompress and put in the data directory. please.

Find these files under File Thingie 2.5.7
rguser, rgpass under the 3.3.1731 folder.

-Also I noticed that when installing to a non-standard directory (IE not "Opencpn") when you select Opencpn3.3.1731 for example, the installer adds another "Opencpn" folder afterwards. This is annoying and we do not need it.
