Optimized Opencpn: Testers Needed

[Hakan]

Sean..
Test report; Attempt to build on Win32-XP
Cmake build: 3 warnings 3 errors.
Thereafter VC10 debug build after copying of needed files and dirs as of earlier versions.
Debug failed. The error:

pluginmanager.cpp

========== Build: 5 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

The complete log's attached.(delete .pdf)
I've no time for the moment to further investigations--will come back.
Please advice if I can change anything to solve the error.

Hello,

Where is it possible to download a compiled version for W 7 ?

Gilletarom.

[Hakan]

Gille...
I can serve you as soon as Sean has corrected some build errors.

Sean...
I managed to pass the error mentioned at #16 by a cast to wxGDIImage but then a couple of other errors occurred and I'm not the man tie them up. I happy to make a new W32 test if you push a new source for test?

These 2 fixes restore the compass window to normal. With the 3 fixes identified in post #6 you should have a working OpenCPN.

Chuck..
Very good - it works for debug and release. Some test results so far:

Debug:
WinXP OpenGL disabled in ini file:
Crash when enable OpenGl using default properties.

First-chance exception at 0x0056b2a7 in opencpn.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00000000.
Unhandled exception at 0x0056b2a7 in opencpn.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00000000.
The program '[7320] opencpn.exe: Native' has exited with code 0 (0x0).

>Disabled OpenGL again in ini file. That's my normal set up due to low perfomance using OpenGL. But I can use it in earlier versions.


First release copied to standard OpenCPN directory.
WinXP OpenGL disabled in ini file:
Three tests:
> Network connection not working. I'm at home using a AIS feed: ais1.shipraiser.net:6492. No contact. When switching back to org. 3.3.1302 the connection was immediately established.
Log file says:23:44:28: Opening NMEA Datastream TCP:ais1.shipraiser.net:6492 but nothing happens.
> Local UDP connection, to portable original 3.3.1302 is working.
> Crash when enabled OpenGL, now with all preferences disabled. See crash-dump following this link: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...9b432fdba2.zip

Gille...
My program file can be downloaded here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/....Sean_3.3.1302
(Delete everything after .exe and copy to standard Opencpn dir.

zzzzz-time..
Thanks Håkan

If someone builds a Windoze exe I'll be happy to test it under W8 but I'm not smart enough to build it myself.

Ditto, but W7

[Hakan]

bobo...,Opie...
You're free to try mine. Use the link in post #20. I'm using WinXP that's true but it should be suitable even for never Windows. Since Chuck could run with OpenGL it could be nice to see if it works also for you. My OpenGL crash could be caused by a code not suitable for my rather stale graphic card.
Håkan

[Hakan]

Sean... & all
More observations to continue after notes in post #16:
-Still WinXP and no OpenGL
-I'm at home and alternate between VDR play and a hand-GPS (Serial->USB)
-All notes here are verified to work in original 3.3.1302 but not in 3.3.1302_Sean using the same circumstances.

>I can't say there's any significant difference in performance even if that's a feeling and not based on any statistical test method. But when I not use OpenGL that's possible obvious? The test method was to zoom in/out, moving the chart and toggle around with "F2". (CM93)
>Using VDR-play and switching to "Course UP Mode" works fine but switch back to north-up didn't worked. Course-up is still there irrespective of scale or move actions. Program stop and start did however returned back to north up.
>AIS CPA alarm is not working. The calculations are there since CPA is shown when I chose to view it but no alarm trigging.
>The GPS status indicator is not shown.

To be continued.../Håkan

Hello Sean, Hello Hakan,


Thank Hakan, I downloaded your W version that you placed in post #20, in this thread.

This morning (here it is 13h20)

First use with OpenGL ON : Ok
Whith VDR, I read a file : Ok
Then I install nederland ENC chart : Ok
I create a group for these charts : Ok
I displayed some charts : Ok
I use only NL ENC group of chart : Ok
I uncheck "Mosaïc" : Ok
I Zoom ----- and then after correct display, impossible to Zoom +, Impossible to move the chart.
Then Y try to shutdown OCPN and then crash.

A crash report was sent (with my mail adress)

[AISEAG]

Sean, hakan,

If you wish, I can create a project into Tracket/Flyspay to get all the reamrks, information, ... about this promising Version of O ?

Serge

[rgleason]

AISEAG, I think that would be a good idea. Sean, I am sorry haven't tried it yet, I've been busy. -- Will give it a spin when Hakan and ChuckSK finish testing... ...No, seriously I will try in the next couple of days.

[CarinaPDX]

In the past I have succeeded in building for the Mac (32 bit Intel) by using cmake to output the project to Xcode and then building. I tried using the link in the OP as the repository URL for creating a project with GitX, and it appeared to download a lot, into a folder I named seandepagnier. But the visible directory is empty; there is an invisible folder (.git) but I am not finding the familiar data as in the existing opencpn folder (previously downloaded with GitX and residing in the same directory as seandepagnier folder). GitX does seem to show that I do have it - but where?

I'm happy to make an attempt to build and test but I don't know how to get at the top level - any ideas? Also, does this support 32 and/or 64 bits?

It sounds to me like a problem with GitX.

You can get the code anyway. Go to https://github.com/seandepagnier/OpenCPN and press the button "Download ZIP".

[CarCode]

Greg,
try to use github.app from GitHub for Mac

Building 32bit or 64bit depends first on your compiler settings (arch i386 or arch x86_64) and second on the used wxWidgets version (2.8.12 for 32bit and 2.9 or higher for 64bit).
