JSantos is interested in compling Celestial Nav for MAC
See link posted later.
Also sbfreddie is trying to compile Route_pi for MAC
See http://www.cruisersforum.com/forums/...n-87125-2.html
These are the first times I've known of Mac users compiling plugins.

[Note: I ask that this "Plugins thread" remain a general informational thread for plugins, so post responses to compiling in MAC in the specific user threads.]

JSantos writes:

Fine! Also, I am not a programmer but I did a lot of compiling and debugging in the old days of Linux kernel 1xx.

So, to start with the celestial navigation plugin I would need some help on:

1. Where can I download the latest source code?
2. In the developer manual there are 2 approaches recommended (general to build opencpn from source but I guess also of interest to plugins), "compiling mac os x" and "osx-lion (work in progress)". Which one should I use?
3. A brief list of steps and workarounds from someone which did already the compilation with Linux would be great!

Primary system I'm going to use:
- MacBook Pro
- OS X 10.8.4
- Xcode 4.6.3 with the latest command line tools, includind the i686-apple-darwin11-llvm-gcc-4.2 (GCC) 4.2.1

Looking forward ...

I know very little about compiling MAC. Is it more like Linux?
In linux the make and cmake files are setup so it is quite easy to issue the cmake .. and cmake --build . commands, etc. For example for Climatology plugin compile:

Update the Program and Climatology_pi plugin* from opencpn-git*
1. cd opencpn-git
2. git fetch --all
3. git branch -v (shows *origin)
4. git pull origin
5. cd plugins
6. rm -r climatology_pi
7. git clone git://github.com/seandepagnier/climatology_pi.git

Compile and Build the program**from opencpn-git/build
1. cd opencpn-git
2. cd build
3. cmake ../
4. make
5. sudo make install
6. This builds all the other plugins and opencpn, but not climatology_pi, it needs data to be setup.

The above does not include the process to "make" the data in the gendata folder, which also requires huge downloads of data first. The data is available at sourceforge, or Openccpn Beta File thingie. See other posts in this forum.

The Windows plugin compilation is a bit more work, because you do the git for the plugin, from the ..opencpn-git/plugin directory, run the cmake .. and cmake --built . from the command line "cmd". Then use MSVC++ to "Build" either a debug or release version. Then you need to go into the ..opencpn-git/build/plugins/climatology_pi/[release or debug] directory and copy the appropriate *.dll that should have todays date and time. Then you paste it under the build/plugins directory if you are running the debug version. Otherwise you paste the new dll into a working release plugin directory and try it. [Note that Climatology also requires a .../plugins/climatology/data directory. As does weather_routing, celestial_navigation etc require similar "data" directories]

I don't think MAC OS works quite like Windows, but more like Linux.

There is probably some information about using git and compiling plugins in Linux and Windows towards the end of this thread. (..which I started awhile ago) so I've kind of forgotten the precise location so you'll have to do a search on the thread. http://www.cruisersforum.com/forums/...-87680-13.html

For the git locations. I will post more a comprehensive list of git locations for plugins, but you will find some git lists for plugins in this thread!

Go to the plugin subdirectory in your OpenCPN source tree

I will install "OpenCPN" on another computer and I give you like this.
Thank you!

Plugins-Beta - Weather_Routing Update
Weather_Routing has been recompiled with changes to fix "Illegal External File references to main the Opencpn/src files, etc". Please remember that there are data files required to be located in plugins/weather_routing/data directory. See notes.
Opencpn Beta Login - Plugins - rguser, rgpass.
Look under directory Plugins-Win-Opencpn 3.3.1009
for file "weather_routing_win32_pi110_ov331009_pi.dll"

For more Information please go to the Weather_routing thread.

Many thanks to ChuckSK (Chuck) and Rasbats (Mike) for all their help correcting code in order to compile this.

[rgleason]

I'd like to add one more Opencpn plugin to the list, Mike [Rasbats] plugin for

Tidal Current plugin for European Waters

Link to the Form Discussion Thread

Instructions

Mike may have additional information to add. I will include this plugin in the list in the future. Thanks again Mike.

Here is another sample plugin run on Raspberry_pi called Remembrancer
http://www.cruisersforum.com/forums/...er-113655.html

See Thomas's suggestions for improvements. Done for Linux only, so far.

Dear OpenCPNers,

Have a glance to Tracker Situation at mid-November.

==> Tracker Request Portfolio :
-> 341 pending requests with :
- 200 requests related to "OpenCPN - core program"
- 141 requests dispatched between other projects (mostly plugings).

To satisfy each requester, it would be great that each pluging developer got a "developer profil" into Tracker/Flyspray.

==> These orphans are searching for parents

pi - AISradar
pi - Celestial
pi - Calculator
pi - Climatology
pi - Goggle Earth
pi - Findit
pi - Logbook
pi - Polars
pi - Route - Great Circle
pi - Rtlsdr
pi - SAR
pi - Voyage Data Recorder
pi - TrimPlot - SailTrim Beta
pi - Watchman
pi - Weatherfax
pi - Weather_Routing
pi - World Magnetic Model

Thanks for your collaboration.

Serge,
Your list is good, we need plugin developer's to get a Developer's Profile into the Tracker/Flyspray. How is this done?

1. The developer agrees, identifies his plugin (s) and gives us his email, and registers on Tracker.

2. An administrator will then use Administrator Tools to assign the developer "Developer" status for those plugins.

3. What does developer status do? It allows the Developer to edit and adjust tasks in the particular plugin project. Also the developer will get notifications of new tasks etc.

[rgleason]

Sean's plugins are:
pi - Celestial
pi - Climatology
pi - Rtlsdr
pi - TrimPlot - SailTrim Beta
pi - Watchman
pi - Weatherfax
pi - Weather_Routing
pi - World Magnetic Model (Helped Nohal)

He advises that he has limited internet availability and is busy working on other things right now. (He sent a short note recently) What should we do?

We could sign him up as developer, but then he might get all the emails for new tasks etc and not want that clogging up his limited internet availability.

Any ideas?

Hello Rick,

I will modify it profil for no receiving any emails.

Serge

[rgleason]

Yes, I think that would be best.
I don't think Sean would mind that.

Thanks.

Both are mine ;-) According to flyspray, I'm the owner of these (as well as the dashboard plugin) Is there anything wrong?

BTW, you may create another category for the Logbook Konni plugin it's separate for the logbook plugin I created.

Thanks,

Logbook-Konni as well as Findit was done by Konni who seems not to be working with these plugins anymore.

[rgleason]

Ok

In Tracker we should have:

pi -Dashboard - Seth-Dart [Jean-Eudes]
pi - Logbook - Seth-Dart [Jean-Eudes]
pi - Voyage Data Recorder Seth-Dart [Jean-Eudes]
pi - Polars Konni - Konni
pi - Logbook Konni - Konni (New, Added to Tracker)
pi - Findit - Konni

I believe the authors for these plugins are:
pi - AISradar https://github.com/Verezano see for email. Nohal, Sean improved it,
pi - Calculator - Salty Paws https://github.com/SaltyPaws/route_pi
pi - Route - Great Circle - Salty Paws https://github.com/SaltyPaws/SAR_pi
pi - SAR - Salty Paws https://github.com/SaltyPaws/calculator_pi
pi - Goggle Earth - Phiggins & Nohal?
GE2KAP Help
https://github.com/nohal/gecomapi_pi

Logbook-Konni as well as Findit was done by Konni who seems not to be working with these plugins anymore.

Konni relatively recently added Polars which was a significant amount of work, so perhaps he will add himself as developer?
