The contents of the archive (all of it) belong to the topmost level (G:\OCPN in your case), not into src (it simply adds some binary files into the buildwin folder)

No mystery, just being obedient copied the files by hand into the /OCPN directory


Stuff that happens if one does not have the complete picture....

So next round.

This really was the only step in the whole instructions I thought is impossible to get wrong

Pavel,

this afternoon installed in a different PC -W8.1 as well.

Everything went fine, make, compiling, building but:
opencpn.exe /p will not generate the .ini nor the .log
C:\OpenCPN\build\release>opencpn.exe /p
a short flash of the command window, no crash, no message, prompt comes back

Hubert...
Are you sure you copied everything described in step 6 of the compilation instructions?
Sure you followed all the steps exactly to the last letter (especially specifying the v120_xp toolset everywhere)?
Can you also copy the DLLs from buildwin\wxWidgets to your build\release and try again?
Needless to say I can't reproduce your problem...

The number 1 PC is ok now.
Purged the OpenCPN directory, new git clone and applying the buildwin.zip everything compiled and built fine and is running now.

In the afternoon we will tackle the second installation....

Hurbert I am keeping one at 4.0 with wxwidgets 2.8.12 and Vs2010 and the other upgraded. I Thought it might be useful to uprade version 4.0 plugins.. but is that not useful because the software has moved on?? - Advice would be appreciated.

and getting now from cmake --build . --config release

Have you deleted everything under build except opencpn.lib and deleted all wxwidget 2.8.12 directories and checked you path env? Then using the new command prompt for ms vc 2013 enter cmake -T v120_xp .. and wait. Maybe it will work. Oh and reboot before executing this.

You must install the latest version of wxWidgets. Latest OpenCPN from git will not build with wx V 2.8.12. The online Windows build instructions explain how to get all the latest libraries and tools.

[bcn]

WxWidgets 3.0.2 for sure. And built.

Everything is almost identical to the other W8.1 machine where I compiled with success.

The PATH is set for wxWidgets 3.0.2 so the mere existence of a wxWidgets 2.8 directory with the old version should not make any influence I understand.

[rgleason]

Delete the wxWidgets 2.8 directory please. For some reason that is essential. I had to do it.

Rick, that something "just works this way" is sometimes fine - but I would like to know why.
Might help in the future....

As said before I don't know nothing about Windows. But there should be also a command called "wx-config". Issue this command in Terminal and you will see what you have and what is activated.

Your environment variables were/are telling cmake that your wx installation is the old 2.x version. When you configure the make files it uses the environment variables to find wxWidgets. It's not too smart and you have to make sure all your environment variables pertaining to wx point to the 3.x directories. By the error message it is clear that there are references to 2.x in your cmake files. It could be a remnant in the make cache files too. Try deleting the cmake cache file in the build folder and recreate it once you have all the environment variables pointed to wx 3.x.
