Gilletarom,
If the plugin does not show up then there is normally an issue in trying to load it. This should be shown in the OCPN log, and if it is a mismatch between OCPN and OD then it should give some indication of what is wrong. If you are using an SVG version of OD but a non SVG version of OCPN you may just get a message that a file is missing, but no indication of what. OD with SVG relies on OCPN having installed cairo.dll, expat.dll, zlib1.dll and WXSVG.dll, without these OD will not load.

I tested this on my PC and my 8.1 W W10 tablet.

I will re-install the normal version of O411317 and see if it works.

Jon...

mine is a 4.1.1317, so with svg (had a look and for example the cairo.dll is in place).
Nethertheless it fails to load the (installed, existing) draw PI.

It is there where it should be in the \plugins directory (Win 8.1)

is a Win exe for this patch available?

With the Win 623 (the one that does not appear) I tried to access the Options/Plug-in menu and the system stalls (Win 8.1)

The last entry in the log-file:

A little bit more about this crash:
(deleting the plug-in will repair the failure)

I end up not knowing what I like version. This is certainly not the original version of 411317. But this is not the version of Jean Pierre. It must be a version downloaded from the RGleason thingie.

I watched what dll are present. There is cairo.dll, expat.dll, zlib1.dll BUT WXSVG.DLL is absent. This certainly explains why the plugin can not be seen by OpenCPN.

[NAV]

I suggest to move the data field for Arrival Radius (in Point Properties window) to the left.
Also (just as an example): 'Properties' is not translated in title bar.

[NAV]

Examples of non-translated items in click-on-menu's for point and line (Insert, Move, Point).

[NAV]

The fourth selection circle in attached properties window of Draw: an error or is text missing?

I have just compiled thelatest OpenCPN and Draw plugin from git.
I have, as far as I know, all the necessary SVG libraries installed,still I get this runtime error in the log

: Error: /usr/local/lib/opencpn/libocpn_draw_pi.so: undefined symbol: _ZTV13wxSVGDocument

Any ideas?

Thomas,
Have you copied the opencpn.lib file from the build you have just done to the OD directory for linking? When you compiled OCPN did you specify -DOCPN_USE_SVG in the cmake command? All the SVG stuff is in the OCPN install.

Hubert,
Windows is not my normal environment, hence I am a bit lost with this. I create install packages for OCPN and OD and it all works. I am trying to figure out what dll's are actually available as against lib files. It looks like the SVG install on windows copies the following dll's:
cairo.dll
fontconfig.dll
iconv.dll
libpng16.dll
libxml2.dll
pixman-1.dll
expat.dll

into the base OCPN install directory. I 'think' that the wxSVG stuff is linked into OCPN but relies on the above dll's to work. I know that I have to link using the wxSVG.lib file or the SVG functions do not work.

I am trying to find out if I can provide more of the SVG stuff, just in case, for windows. The issue is that plugins get to use what is available and are not instantiated unless it is, hence the 'cannot load' messages. The SVG stuff is all new and I am not sure how many other plugins are trying to use it. The only messages about SVG are from the cmake process, so I have created a patch for OCPN that will put in the log the type of icons being used. I will generate a windows OCPN and OD and put them up on dropbox shortly.

Gilletarom,
Further investigation shows that wxSVG is not a dll, but seems to be in the mainline code, BUT it does have its own lib file, hence my mistake. If you want to be sure of the plugin loading then it needs to be build with -DOD_USE_SVG=OFF and it will use standard png files. They will not scale well, but....

The OD plugin makes use of the SVG facility provided by OCPN, so if bits are 'missing' the plugin will not even load under windows, so it cannot make 'intelligent' decisions about what to do. Unless someone knows how to make the application decide what dll's to load after it has started I am not sure what I can do. At build time I can check for facilities, but at runtime I cannot.

Correct, all these dll are present in OCPN 4.1.1317 under W8.1
