Compiling Linux

[petter5]

In the online manual for compiling from source Linux Compiling - Linux | Official OpenCPN Homepage is is stated:

$ cd opencpn $ git pull

However, the created directory when you do a GIT clone will be
OpenCPN and not opencpn. Linux is case sensitive so the
instructions should be changed to:

  $ cd OpenCPN 
$ git pull

The same also applies for the build instructions on the same side.

Fixed!
Thanks!

Oboy! a thread to lay out my gibberish! but seriously, since latest git, I git this:

/usr/include/wx-3.0/wx/containr.h: In instantiation of ‘void wxNavigationEnabled<W>::SetFocus() [with W = wxTopLevelWindow]’:
/home/gormin/OpenCPN/src/garmin/jeeps/garmin_wrapper.cpp:367:1: required from here
/usr/include/wx-3.0/wx/containr.h:247:39: error: ‘SetFocus’ is not a member of ‘wxNavigationEnabled<wxTopLevelWindow>::BaseWindow Class {aka wxTopLevelWindow}’
BaseWindowClass::SetFocus();
^
make[2]: *** [CMakeFiles/GARMINHOST.dir/src/garmin/jeeps/garmin_wrapper.cpp.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/gormin/OpenCPN/build'
make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/GARMINHOST.dir/all] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/gormin/OpenCPN/build'
make: *** [all] Error 2

thar's plenty more where this came from but "jeeps/garminwrapper" seems to be the rock it is repeatedly swept onto? what is "Error 1?" or Error 2?

Path exists but "garmin_wrapper.cpp.o" does not.
I do have a "garmin_wrapper_utils.c"

linux Mint "Cinnamon "x64.

When compiling on ubuntu 14.04 using the instructions Compiling - Linux | Official OpenCPN Homepage , The compiling succeeds and after "make install" I can start opencpn normally, but it seems that the installed version miss the possibility to change the language from interfacing/language settings. Only US English is available in the language drop down.

The system I'm compiling on has Norwegian language settings as default.

Should User Manual be more explicit re opengl improvements and languages? What changes additions needed.

It would be useful if the compiling instructions included steps so that the install package produced during compilation has the ability to change language in the user interface, today this is not the case, has tried on two different pc's with Norwegian language installed. The resulting opencpn installation has only US English available in the language menu.

You have to make sure that you have the relevant language packages installed.
Linux is different from Win when it comes to handling languages. This is not an OpenCPN issue.
If you read your "opencpn.log" I'm sure that O complains about lack of languages. I think that O only lists those languages that are supported.
Use Synaptic (sudo apt-get install synaptic) to search for your Norwegian language packages.

I think that this is an issue only with users new to Linux that don't use Linux except for running OpenCPN. If you had installed and used Linux, based on Norwegian instructions from a Magazine or user-group, language in O would not be a problem.


I compile my own Linux version as well. Here is part of my language choices

My system default language is nb_NO.

From Opencpnlog:

System default Language: nb_NO
Opencpn language set to: en_US

The only option in the language menu opencpn is US English - no other options is displayed. --- Yes something is obviously not correct, I'm just trying to track down what,,,

[rgleason]

Once linux is installed following the instructions, is there a set of commands to add languages?
And then pick the language?

[rgleason]

We could then add those to the instructions.

It seems some path differences between installation from PPA and compiled from source and installed with make install.

Installed from PPA: /user/lib/opencpn (checker on another pc running unbuntu 14.04 installed from PPA - language working fine.
Installed from local compile: /usr/local/lib/opencpn ( compiled on another ubuntu 14.04 - language not working.

In the CmakeLists.txt there is a line stating:
SET(TENTATIVE_PREFIX "/usr/local")

Might the difference be hare ?? If removing "local" the compiled version should end up in same directory structure as if installed from PPA ??

Folks...

This is normal behaviour, by design. If you want local builds to behave exactly the same as PPA installs, try:

$cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ..
$make
$make install
