error compiling openCPN on ARM Chromebook / lUbuntu raring

[chris14679]

Hi there,

I'm trying to get opencpn going on the new $249 arm chromebook which seems like the perfect navigation computer once chromeOS is replaced with ubuntu (very low power consumption).

I'm running the pre-release "raring" version of lubuntu 13.04 because it has better support for arm chromebooks than Precise.
I'm using the current beta of OpenCPN from github on the assumption that it will have better ARM support than the stable release.

I was able to install all the dependencies listed on the "installing opencpn from source" pages, except for "libportaudio".

libportaudio0, libportaudio2 and libportaudio-dev are all installed but "libportaudio" is not found.

I got the following compile error which seems to be related to portaudio:

Un-install "libportaudio-dev" and libportaudio0 , which belongs to portaudio ver 18, OpenCPN uses ver 19.
Install "portaudio19-dev" and "libporaudiocpp0" instead, and see how it goes!

O needs:
portaudio19-dev
libportaudio2
libportaudiocpp0

Hi Thomas, thanks for the amazingly quick and useful response! I get much further through the compile process after doing as you suggested but now I get a different portaudio error. Can you suggest anything for this one:

[ 57%] Building CXX object CMakeFiles/opencpn.dir/src/scrollingdialog.cpp.o
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `/usr/lib/libportaudio.so', needed by `opencpn'.  Stop.
make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/opencpn.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2

Many thanks! Chris

UPDATE: I fixed this error by editing CMakeCache.txt

Original line:

//Path to a library.
PORTAUDIO_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=/usr/lib/libportaudio.so

Correct line:

PORTAUDIO_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libportaudio.so

It now compiles and install correctly!


I CAN CONFIRM that OpenCPN works on the Samsung ARM chromebook running lubuntu 13.04. This will be an excellent platform for OpenCPN due to the low cost, low power consumption and high speed. I expect and hope we will see a huge number of OpenCPN installs on the ARM chromebook soon.

OK!
Try to use the attached "FindPortaudio.cmake", instead of the one that comes with OpenCPN. It uses "FindPkgConfig". Check if it can find the right path, without editing the cache file.
Get rid of the ".doc" extension, it's just a workaround to be able to upload to this forum.
FindPortaudio.cmake.doc

I tried using the original cmakecache.txt and your new findportaudio. It all seemed to compile perfectly through cmake and make.

I didn't test "make install" because I have my installl how I want it now and I didn't want to upset it.
