OpenCPN Version 4.0 Released

[colemj]

This is probably a problem on my end, or with my internet connection, but when I download the 25.2MB Mac version, it arrives looking like a valid 25.2MB dmg image, but will not open. I get "not recognized" as an error.

Is this happening to anyone else?

Stranger things have happened...

What are, where are the configuration options for tesselation?

Thanks.

Possibly related to unexpected end of file result when extracting the .tar.gz file?

Wow, that is a really old file...

Anyway, the only tess option happens if the cmake script does not find any OpenGL library support on your system. It then automatically reverts to internal tesselation, as noted.

See CMakeLists.txt, around line 257.
ADD_DEFINITIONS(-DUSE_GLU_TESS)

Without this definition, the internal tesselator is used. This has not been tested in a while, and I would not be surprised at regression problems.

Good luck
Dave

Same issue here. Tried to download twice, but can't install. Will try again later.

Right on guys! Congrats on the fresh build!

CMake Warning:
Manually-specified variables were not used by the project:

USE_GLU_TESS

Must I remove OpenGL libraries first for this to work?

Thanks.

Mark...

Not your fault. The file on sourceforge had a broken upload, and was incomplete.

New file uploaded just now, sourceforge will have it ready for download shortly.

Sorry, but that's wifi for ya.

Mac dmg download just tested, OK now.

You would be better to simply remove this stuff from the CMakeLists.txt file (temporarily), to avoid possible other systems problems.

FIND_PACKAGE(OpenGL)
IF(OPENGL_GLU_FOUND)

    SET(wxWidgets_USE_LIBS ${wxWidgets_USE_LIBS} gl )
    INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES(${OPENGL_INCLUDE_DIR})

    MESSAGE (STATUS "Found OpenGL..." )
    MESSAGE (STATUS "    Lib: " ${OPENGL_LIBRARIES})
    MESSAGE (STATUS "    Include: " ${OPENGL_INCLUDE_DIR})
    ADD_DEFINITIONS(-DocpnUSE_GL)
    ADD_DEFINITIONS(-DUSE_GLU_TESS)

ELSE(OPENGL_GLU_FOUND)
    MESSAGE (STATUS "OpenGL not found..." )
ENDIF(OPENGL_GLU_FOUND)

But I did not test this myself recently...

Compilation & installation o.k. per your instructions above. But, there's still an 'ownship' problem, resolved by reinstalling a binary I generated for 3.3.1618.

Something changed along the way, and it's not my configuration...

A French Mac user reports he is stuck at this stage using OSX 10.6.x

Hi all and thanks too for the update. But...
Just tried installing on Mac Powerbook Pro Snow Leopard and the installation locks up at the first run welcome message and no warranty etc. Any suggestions.

Welcome to the club... See my previous message...
EDIT
The French User is using Mac OX 10.6 Snow Leopard, like you. Now this version is NO longer supported by OpenCpn...
End of the story...
