Problems Compiling

[wushinwei]

Hi

12>LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file '../../Debug/opencpn.lib'

13>LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file '../../Debug/opencpn.lib'

I follow the O Developer's Guide to try compiling on Windows,step 1 ~ 4.1b is all fine but
in step 4.2b compiling from Visual Studio some trouble show above coming out.

Could anyone give me solution method

This could be a bug in the instructions.

If you are building a PlugIn, you will first need to build the OpenCPN base code to generate the opencpn.lib linkage file.

Otherwise, please search your machine for the missing file, and check the path names as called.

Could you give us a bit more information? Which version of Visual Studio? Which plugins are producing the error (if not the bundled dashboard and grib)?
So far everything seems fine to me and I see no problems linking while building from VS2013.

Thanks

Thanks Dave & Pavel


I work on Windows 8.1 , VS2010.
After configuring the build using Cmake-gui,I just open the solution created by cmake then compile the whole solution or individual projects.

From the debug output I can see this problem.

11>  options.cpp
11>C:\Users\yun\OpenCPN\src\options.cpp(4275): warning C4819: The file contains a character that cannot be represented in the current code page (950). Save the file in Unicode format to prevent data loss

No problems here with VS2010 and no such problems ever reported by anyone.
To understand better - the linker problems you reported earlier were just a consequence of opencpn not being built with these errors, right?
What are you building? current master? Against which version of wxWidgets?
Would you mind to actually look at the lines reported by the warning and errors - I suspect your source was somehow messed up as at least in my tree for example options.cpp:5987 has absolutely nothing to do with sorting the control...

Few days ago I try the new instruction of the "Developer Manual\Compiling - Windows",the same problems...

Windows 8.1 , Visual Studio 2013

PHP Code:

Unless you have something new to tell us, we can't help you further. There is no problem compiling the current master source with either VS2010 or 2013 for anybidy but you. And the info you provide is useless to resolve it.

Sorry
