Failed to compile 3.0.2 on Debian Squeeze

[rahra]

Hi!

I compiled OpenCPN 3.0.2 from source for my Debian Squeeze system because the official .deb package does not work because it require glibc2.14. Debian Squeeze currently is at 2.13.

The files chart1.cpp and about.cpp include the file <version.h> instead of <wx/version.h>. A patched this manually. I also had to add the macros VERSION_MAJOR, VERSION_MINOR, VERSION_PATCH, and VERSION_DATE.

After that it compiles fine.
Following the snippets of the make output:

p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; }

Debian Squeeze is the latest stable release from THE reference GNU/Linux distribution, not comparable to a Yugo-type product.

Did it compile out of the box without manual intervention on your system?

As I wrote I was also able to compile it but after doing some patches.
But I think it would be interesting for other people to have a deb package for Squeeze because the official Ubuntu package does not smoothly install.

Rahra, most of my problems with Squeeze went away with the latest beta, which runs quite well, sound and all. I haven't tested all the features, yet the ones I use (route planning, gps garmin uploads, navigation, etc) work without glitches.

At first time i tried to compile in squeeze armel and armhf, but compiler give errors. At second time i successfully compiled in wheezy armel. In wheezy armhf compiling was also successfully, but in this version OpenCPN closed while indexing CM93 charts. I think this isa bug of version 3.0.2. A all times i installed before some libs as recommended.

I checked out the latest version from github but it is the same problem.
The files chart1.cpp and about.cpp include <version.h> instead of <wx/version.h> and about.cpp also includes "version.h" which does not exist at all. In the root of the source directory there is a file named version.h.in which looks like an autoconf file.
But OpenCPN is built with cmake. I'm familiar with autoconf but have no idea about cmake. Probaby it is a cmake problem.

Bernhard...
version.h is generated by the cmake configure step (cmake ..), there's no error in the code.
Please try tu purge your build directory and then run

cmake ..
cmake --build .

If it still fails, I would be interested in the cmake .. output and CMakeCache.txt

Edit: The above assumes you are in <opencpnsrcroot>/build directory as suggested in the build instructions

Great success! It worked

Of course I followed the instructions in INSTALL but it says to run `make` and not `cmake --build .` and this seems to be the problem.

Bernhard

[nohal]

cmake --build . and make actually do exactly the same thing... I suppose you probably might have done "make clean", which deletes version.h, before you tried the build before. Might that be the case?

Pavel

[rahra]

Pavel,

Yes, this was the problem. I tried again now and it worked also with `make`. Probably it should be mentioned in the INSTALL. Although I am a developer myself I fell into this just because of not being familiar with cmake. It isn't that widely used.

Thanks,
Bernhard

Hi All!

I have been encountering the same problem as rahra.

I have managed to change both about.cpp and chart.cpp to have wx/version.h, but am now getting the following error :

rahra, what did you do to fix this error?

Many thanks!

Axel...
And did you do what resolved it for rahra? it's just one post above...
And do you have any reason to try to compile the several years old version 3.0.2?
