Development Debugging Environment - Setup Help

[nohal]

Hubert...
Look at https://github.com/Kitware/CMake/blo...ets.cmake#L455 - it will give you a clear picture in which order cmake uses the info you give it through the environment variables and then it's own "intelligence" to find the WX libraries.
If you have both wx3.0 and 2.8 on your sysem, in case you did not build wx3.0 (=skipped step 2.1 of the instructions) but still have usable wx2.8, you end up exactly as you describe.

Gerhard,

this is not that simple under Windows:
https://sites.google.com/site/wxconfig/

Dan, Rick,

first lesson learnt:
not sufficient to look at the Path variables, there is some more stuff under system variables. Changed that, purged \build and another go and found in the log something like: wxWidgets found and a lot of references to 2.8.
Restarted the PC - perhaps Windows did not get the new variables without a restart? New round the same.
Changed the directory name to OLDwxWidgets-2.8.12 and
now it builds...
Looks like cmake does not care about the variables but just searches for C:wxWidgets-something and as 2.8 comes before 3.0 it grasps this one.

Pavel, seen your last post now....
I did built wxWidgets 3.0.2 following 2.1 - two times...

The build runs now - thanks everybody for the help!

Environment variables don't change unless one of two things happens. One is you can change them in a .bat or .cmd script for a specific instance of a Command Prompt window.

Second way is to change the User environment variables using Control Panel Advanced Options and then log out and log back in. But you need to be sure in the latter case that your customized variables are in the User set and not the System set. If in the System set I think you have to restart Windows to see any effect after a change to these.

Folks...

I regularly use cmake-gui on Windows.
- Gives direct control of the wxWidgets libraries to be used for this build right now.
- Allows multiple OCPN builds in different directories, with different wx libs if desired.
- Avoids the basically-broken Windows command prompt with its indecipherable environment variables.

I agree with Gerhard on this. Controlling Windows/VS from a command prompt is torture.

Recommended for active developers ...

Good Luck
Dave

Couldn't agree more.

Last night we were racing a Santa Cruz 70 - never saw the navigator. For three hours we just heard cursing from down below as he tried to get his fancy Ockam5 drivers and software to load and run on a Win7 laptop. I tried to show the owner OCPN on a Mac ("it just works"), but every time I mentioned it the cursing would get louder, distracting him. Don't think I made any friends.

Ockam has made their protocol definitions available and have a Ockam-bus to Ethernet gateway w/UDP broadcast - would be another fun data source for OCPN if anyone has access to such a system.

Any suggestions regarding uninstall of MS Programs is welcome. Many were installed with VS 2013 for Windows Desktop for some reason, see the programs with install date "5/24/2015"

Based upon Pavel's Program List for VS 2013 I have been trying to whittle down the MS programs installed on my computer. First is Pavel's short list. Then the ones on my laptop. The Red programs have already been uninstalled, the green programs I would like to uninstall.

I think Pavel is running a bare bone virtual machine - so nothing left over from previous installs or odd cadavers...

[rgleason]

Hurbert Yes, it is quite helpful. Do you think I can delete these cadavers?
I have put the ones I want to delete in green? - Any others?

Dave, I will try the GUI.

Just reporting on uninstall of Microsoft Programs

If you don't like Windows why do you use it?

Gerhard

[rgleason]

The Opencpn Developers manual under Compiling Windows shows no reference to Microsoft SQL. The current Visual Studio suggested is "Express 2013 for Windows Desktop" (build 4).

This link to Microsoft shows under "added features"
SQL Server 2014 is now supported

--SQL does not appear to be a prerequisite!!!! So perhaps I do not need SQL at all.
This version also seems to have Team Foundation Server whatever that is. -Do I really need this?

--In any event it appears I can remove SQL 2012 since I have duplicate SQL programs.

I WOULD LIKE TO DELETE THE SQL SHOWN IN BLUE
AND THE TWO "CLR"

[rgleason]

MS Visual Studio Express 2014 for Windows Desktop > Help shows it is using
- Net Framework 4.5.51209
- SQL Server Data Tools 12.0.410212.0 (28mb)
- and some others including Team Explorer

from this page https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/dn864412
Tools > Extensions and Updates menu. SQL Server tooling updates will appear in the Updates list. There is an update to v12.0.50512.0 which I tried.

That updated
2014 Transaction SQL Computer Services (now 140mb!)
T-SQL Language Service (now have two of these) 6 mb + 3mb
Server Data Tools enu (12.0.50512.0) which is 29.1 mb
+ Server Data Tools 2013 which is 224 mb!

I think I am going to delete the whole shooting match and see what happens.
Then install only what is needed.
