OpenCPN Build on Win32

Hi Mark,

thanks for your help and patience.

The most important parts (Fatal Error, Syntax Error) are in English anyway. The rest doesn't really matter.

I suggest you start with the new vcproj I gave (for 1.3.6, the old was 1.3.4), because that is the only one that is a good bet to use with the corresponding instructions.

OK, this was my fault - sorry.
I now used the one for version 1.3.6 and added (double-checked) each file manually.

Here is the result (just have a look at the errors, please):

If I include the new Route Manager it produces some additional errors (but that is the next step).

What is still irritating to me, is that there are several files in the source, which are not being included in VC++.
How to know which ones are needed and which not? (It would help me, to have just a list of the files which have to be included in Header Files and Source Files as simple text file.)

I'll give it another try but tomorrow (no more time today).

Thanks so far.

np, we'll make do.

Well it doesn't look like you've just used the 1.3.6 vcproj; you're getting errors in s57mgr.cpp which again is not in the project.

re: extra files, I understand your irritation, I've complained as well and so have others - but they're not going away until Dave gets back and we discuss. And that's exactly why I posted the updated vcproj. If you want a list of source files, feel free to edit the proper vcproj and produce one.

Gunther, the very first disclosure in the instructions say they're for someone experienced in MSDev - if you are, you'll know what to do about minor issues like we're seeing. If you're not, I'd love to help you become experienced, but I have very limited time. I'd definitely like more helpers for building, testing, and working on win32, but the environment has barriers I cannot remove. So I guess I'll take back my "it's really easy" comment

Hi Mark,

you are totally right and I fully understand the points you mentioned.
There were just 2 more faults. One was the presence of 's57mgr.cpp' which I obviously missed when checking the file list. The other was that the file 'ddfrecordindex.cpp' exists twice (in 'mygdal' and 'myiso8211') and of course I got the wrong one.

And now Mark take a deep breath ... and sigh with relief!

I finally made it!

That's the good news ...
... the bad news is that I couldn't integrate the Route Manager (which was the reason for trying to compile a test version).
I posted this in Beta Test / Technical.

Thanks again for your help and patience so far.

Hi Mark
I followed your instructions and it worked !!!
many thanks

If so, could you make your new file available for download, please?

That's where I got stuck.
I coulden't manage to apply the patch file (routemanagerdialog.patch).
No matter what I do, I can't get it to use the right path. It always try to look for the files in: /cvsroot/opencpn/opencpn

And there seem to be other path settings in some of the files which won't work either.

So if someone could help me out, or explain this to me, how to apply the patch file, that would be fine.

I'm using GNU32 Patch for Windows on Win 7 Ultimate 32Bit.

Hi Gunter
Unfortunately not , for the moment I just compiled cvs
But I am searching the files needed for the Route Manager . Could you help me ?

Jean Pierre, good that you got the build going.

Gunther (& Jean Pierre), here is the base post that explains what to do for patch:

http://www.cruisersforum.com/forums/...tml#post397986

I forgot to mention an important step in getting patch to work for win32 OpenCPN, and a minor tweak you'll need as well:

(1) you need to make sure and pull the cvs source with unix line-ends; I had forgotten that step. If you're using cvsnt directly, use the -kL switch during checkout. If you're using Tortoise, there is a UI - you can read this: TortoiseCVS FAQ

(2) for the patch command itself, follow Anders instructions but add the
--binary switch.

Many thanks Gunther

But my attempt to build with routemanagerdialog failed :
I got these errors :

routemanagerdialog.cpp .\src\routemanagerdialog.cpp(241) : error C2039: 'IsVisible' : n'est pas membre de 'Route' C:\Users\Jean Pierre\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\opencpn\include\navutil.h(233) : voir la déclaration de 'Route'
.\src\routemanagerdialog.cpp(294) : error C2039: 'SetVisible' : n'est pas membre de 'Route' C:\Users\Jean Pierre\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\opencpn\include\navutil.h(233) : voir la déclaration de 'Route'

Aquick translation : in routemanagerdialog.cpp , both IVisible and SetVisible are not member of 'Route' in navutil.h : see 'Route' declaration

I have this error for lines 241,293,294,391,393,394,460,462,515

If some body can help

@Jean Pierre
Yes, the errors arrive from not having apllied the patchfile (routemanagerdialog.patch) first.

Therefore you'll need another program: Patch for Windows

Install it (just move the file 'patch.exe' somewhere to your Windows path - e.g.: C:\Windows is very often a good place).

Then create a 'patch.bat' file (wherever you like) with the following lines:

@echo off
patch -p0 < %1 --binary
pause

+ @Mark
At the next step I'm still having trouble/ problems.

Now all you should have to do to patch the files is
right-click on the 'routemangerdialog.patch' file, which should be placed within your ocpn root directory, and click on "Open with ..". Now select your patch.bat (not patch.exe!!!) and the patch process should start in a DOS-Window.

So far the theory ...

All I'm getting is



What's (still) wrong?
The file path stays/ remains the same, no matter where I move the files or from which directory I start the patch.

Gunther, as Anders original instructions says, you have to perform the patch process from within the opencpn dir. That is, do a "dir" command, and if you don't see Makefile.am in the list, you're not in the right place. As long as the rest of the cvs structure is good, the other items will get patched too.

Hi Gunther , Mark
I've done all that you wrote but the result is ....
Probably I forgot or misunderstood something , but what ?

Jean Pierre, I suggest you delete the .bat file and type the patch.exe line directly - it'll be more obvious what's going on.

Yes, I understood this.
I have copied the file 'routemanagerdialog.patch' to the root dir of my local opencpn files. And that's the place/ location from which I open the file.
But it seems that the path information is "not recognized/ ignored" or gets "lost" somehow, somewhere ...?
Because (as I wrote already) it makes no difference where I put the files. The path shown in the patch window is always the same (/cvsroot/opencpn/....).

That is, do a "dir" command, and if you don't see Makefile.am in the list, you're not in the right place.

Sorry, but how to use a "dir" command on Windows?
And yes, all the Makefile.xxx files are in the same directory.

As long as the rest of the cvs structure is good, the other items will get patched too.

Maybe yes, maybe not ...!
I'll see it when the patchfile adresses to my path (and not to any other) settings.

BTW: I do not understand what Anders means by writing

After patching and adding the files, rerun the configure script (autoconf users) or whatever else you do, and rebuild.

?

But first I have to get over that hurdle and get this damned patch file ...

One word about the batch file. Without using patch.exe this way only an empty DOS window opens on my PC and nothing else happens (no matter what you type in the window).
But I don't think that the 3 lines of code in this file make things unclear.

Maybe Anders could give us a little help?

I'm not on win and can't give specific advice, but....
The screen-dump in post #25 looks very much like the "problem" I had first time on Linux.
Patch is asking for which file to patch. I this situation I simply answered : "src/routmanagerdialog.cpp". This is the last file in the error . In my case patch accepted this and continued. This happened a few more times. Once patch finished, compilation worked as expected.
So, just try to answer the questions patch comes up with and if that is successful, compile as you normally do
Worth a try!
