openCPN Developer forum?

[oscarkramer]

Is there a forum dedicated to openCPN developers (including plugin developers)? I am having issues compiling the master repo and can't find where to ask questions.

FWIW, I'm getting the error: "version.h: No such file or directory". I'm building on Ubuntu 12.04 in Eclipse (project imported as existing Makefile project).

Thanks.

You are right in this forum...
I hope you are following the instructions at Compiling - Linux | Official OpenCPN Homepage
version.h gets generated during the "cmake .." configuration step
make sure not to run "make clean" which deletes it.
As a minimal test, you can try

 cmake .. && make

in your build directory, which should result in a clean build. After that time will come to figure out why the build from Eclipse fails.

Ok, good that I found the forum. And it was the "make clean" that hosed me up (I discovered soon after posting). Thanks. I didn't expect having to rerun cmake after a clean.

Is there any code design document floating around that talks about the top-level classes?

No, there is none. Feel free to write one while you will be looking at the code. So far nobody had time to do it.
