Ocpn-Draw and Boundary

[rgleason]

Hakan

I've a bat file for this. Use it if you like but you have to change the initial path to OpenCPN repository. Run it from OD_pi\build

Thanks, will be very interested.


Later: Jon.

Thanks, will do both.

This is my picture of the process.
In VS2013 you can build the "ocpn_draw-pot-update" project only to create a fresh pot file. (How this is done in Linux I don't know but something similar I suppose). Then give Pavel a hint that there's a pot file to copy into Crowdin. It can be done now though all texts may not be in its final version. The translators can then work on what's there. Short before a final version the last pot update, if any _("text") has been changed or added, can be copied to Crowdin and there will not be much to do for the translators.
A fully translated language use to render a pull request including .mo files from Pavel to your Github.
Pavel use to watch so any corrections needed may follow this post.

I'm only translator. I know the result crowdin and that's it. And it is the same for all other translators.

Only Pavel will explain you what to do. Contact him directly.

@jon...

Here is the process for supporting crowdin.

1. In your github repo, make sure you run the .pot make target as:

$make ocpn_draw-pot-update

This extracts the strings from your source, and creates the template file

ocpn_draw_pi/po/ocpn_draw_pi.pot

2. Notify me or Pavel that the new .pot is ready for upload.

3. One of us will pull from your repo and upload the new .pot file to crowdin, and it will be ready for translation updates.

4. When all is ready for publishing, Pavel or I will download the resulting translations (.po files) and make a Pull Request against your github repo to merge the new .po files. Or we may just send you a zip file of all the .po files.

5. You make your distribution binary one more time, and it will convert the .po translations into the .mo resource files.

6. Repeat until done....


I took the liberty of cloning your repo today, making the .pot file, and uploading to crowdin. So the translation template should be ready to use by the translators now.

Translators, please let me or Jon know if some strings are missing.

Thanks for your efforts
Dave

It is 1h 56, french hour. I am going to crowdin. No change appear ???

[rgleason]

Got it compiled.
Hakan the batch file helped me understand which files.
Then I saw a couple of lines I had missed in the Readme.md
So I have elaborated the ODraw-readme.txt attached.

[rgleason]

Also download from opencpnplugins - Browse /opencpn_packaging_data at SourceForge.net
OpenCPN_buildwin.7z OR OpenCPN_buildwin-svg.7z
Expand the buildwin directory and put the buildwin directory under ocpn_draw\build\

From OpenCPN.org Developers Manual - Compiling for Windows
after you copy the most current opencpn.lib, WXSVG.lib, expat.lib & cairo.lib files from the most recently fetched & compiled Opencpn to the build directory, from the "build" directory issue:

What I did step by step:

Make new Directory: C:\Users\...\ocpn_draw_pi\images
Copy: \ocpn_draw_pi\data\[all images] ---> ocpn_draw_pi\images\
Copy: \ocpn_draw_pi\build\buildwin\gtk\cairo.lib ---> ocpn_draw_pi\build\
Copy: \ocpn_draw_pi\build\buildwin\expat-2.1.0\expate.lib ---> ocpn_draw_pi\build\
Copy: \OpenCPN\build\release\wxsvg.lib ---> ocpn_draw_pi\build\
Copy: \OpenCPN\build\release\opencpn.lib ---> ocpn_draw_pi\build\

Or get these files from a recent Opencpn
Copy: \GitHub\OpenCPN\buildwin\gtk\cairo.lib ---> ocpn_draw_pi\build\
Copy: \GitHub\OpenCPN\buildwin\expat-2.1.0\expate.lib ---> ocpn_draw_pi\build\
Copy: \GitHub\OpenCPN\build\release\wxsvg.lib ---> ocpn_draw_pi\build\
Copy: \GitHub\OpenCPN\build\release\opencpn.lib ---> ocpn_draw_pi\build\

After compiling the most recent O with wxsvg.lib added.
I tried ODraw and it does not appear in the Plugins Options area.

I suppose I am supposed to compile O with some changes for SVG?
I did not find the direction you mention in the Windows compile manual.
So what I did was this:

Copy: OpenCPN\buildwin\gtk\cairo.lib ---> ocpn_draw_pi\build\
Copy: OpenCPN\buildwin\expat-2.1.0\expate.lib ---> ocpn_draw_pi\build\
Copy: OpenCPN\build\release\wxsvg.lib ---> ocpn_draw_pi\build\
Copy: OpenCPN\build\release\opencpn.lib ---> ocpn_draw_pi\build\

What do I do about the images?
I have copied
copy: \OpenCPN\data\svg\folders\[images]
--->OpenCPN\images\folders\[images]
Is this correct? What is "share" directory?

Thanks.

[rgleason]

Jon also tried moving "images" file to
C:\Users\All Users\opencpn\plugins\ocpn_draw_pi\

Did not help.

PS: How do I determine if OpenCPN is using SVG icons?

[jongough]

Rick,
To use SVG within OD you need to ensure that OD_USE_SVG=ON in the cmake. You can do this by issuing "cmake -DOD_USE_SVG=ON .." from your OD build directory, then issue make. You will also need to ensure that OCPN is using SVG, i.e. compiled with OCPN_USE_SVG=ON as a cmake option. If you are using VC2013 you can tell it to build the project once you have run the cmake command. This will expect to find the lib files and will complain if it does not. At run time it will use the DLL's which should have been loaded by OCPN. I have cairo.lib, expat.lib and WXSVG.lib in the root of the build directory.

If you are debugging you should copy the *.svg & *.png files from the 'data' directory git to the 'vc2013 build directory'\plugins\ocpn_draw_pi\data. I am creating install packages, installing these and then running the OCPN. In this case the image files will all be in C:\Program Files\OpenCPN\plugins\ocpn_draw_pi\data.

You should notice that the SVG files are cleaner looking and if you cause them to scale they should still look OK. If you are not sure rename one of the SVG icons. In this case you will get a green jigsaw piece instead of the icon.

I use this bat to copy files needed, and actually some more, for OCPN release and package. No pathway tweaking, just be sure to run it from OCPN root.
I use to run it as soon a patch contain files.

Gerhard,
Do you want a setting in preferences that will let the System Close icon (normally a small x in one corner of the screen) act as an implicit save/OK? If so, do you have any words I can use to describe this on the panel?

I can see that Dave updated the pot-file CrowdIn. However, zero strings were added.

[bcn]

That might mean that Jon has not converted all Strings into _TranslatableStrings yet...

Jon,

please don't make any extras for Mac OS X version in your plugin. There are already so many items in OpenCPN main and other plugins that doesn't follow Apples Guidelines for Developers and a lot of them could not be done because the wxWidgets port is not able to do.

I am using Watchdog as anchor alarm at it is working as it is supposed to do. When I create a boundary as exclusion zone close to our boat watchdog gives no alarm. Watchdog is setup to give alarm if the distance gets below 3nm
