Hi:
I am trying to build all of OpenCPN's Plugins (_pi) on my armhf Cubie2 board running linux Linaro 12.11. OpenCPN builds and works with no problems, however Route_pi will not build. During building I get these errors:

[ 39%] Building C object plugins/route_pi/CMakeFiles/route_pi.dir/src/georef.c.o

make[1]: *** [plugins/route_pi/CMakeFiles/route_pi.dir/all] Error 2
make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

Any idea what's the problem? I downloaded this Plugin from the OpenCPN Plugins web page.

Thanks,
Freddie

I've tried to compile weatherfax_pi recently and was missing a georef file. It was in a recent git fetch. I don't know why that happened, but have not heard anything about it yet.

georef.c has changed to georef.cpp and is part of OCPN main sources.

sbfredie, do you have the latest git or are you using 3.2.x which might be safer for MAC?

I would do a search on Mac for this forum, as there are a number of threads that might be helpful. Also if that does not work post the problem in one of the "sticky" threads at the top - Bugs...

I have abandoned building plugins on the Mac, due to so many problems.

My question was about building on Debian on an ARM Cubieboard2 A20 which is Linux not Mac.

On Win7 and Working with O 3.3.827 and the Route_pi plugin at the moment.

Cutil.h in the main program has changed, which caused the Route_pi plugin to fail to build. Three errors.

Used an old (2010?) cutil.h and put this in the src folder of route_pi. Changed the name to cutil_route.h and referenced this file in the plugin instead of cutil.h.

Route_pi builds and works!!!

I expect Salty_Paws will produce a better fix but this got me going.

It is the same problem as WeatherFax and WeatherRouting. Just need to keep references like this within the plugin and not use references to files within the main code that could change.

Cutil_route.h is attached (as Cutil_route.h.pdf) in case anyone needs it. Remove the .pdf!!!

Hope this helps.

Mike, very helpful. I will try to do the same for Weatherfax and Weather_Routing which have the same problem.

Have referenced your post in Tracker pi_Route for Walter.

Hello SaltyPaws,

I downloaded this plugin Route, from opencpn.org website.

I found that the bug, which I pointed out in the first page of this thread was not corrected.
I also found that the bug reported in the tracker (flyspray) appeared to have remained unchanged. As if no one had tried to correct them. And this for over a year.

Just a question: In what state of mind are you, in relation to this?

Kind regards.

Gilletarom.

[Gilletarom]

hello,

I test today the plugin Route with last version 1.1 for OpenCPN 4.2

Many bugs ... Sorry to disturb you.

See task #2020 in tracker.

Best regards. Gilletarom.

On my system, Route does the distance calculations from start to end (lox, GC and limiting parallel), but nothing is plotted at all (it did in the previous versions of OpenCPN and Route).

Hello,

it's not the easiest plugin to use but it work fine (at least under Linux OpenSUSE) once that you have second guessed with data are expected.

The plugin does not draw a route directly but rather create a gpx file that can be imported as a route.

Please find join to this post my screen capture.

Hi,

There is a problem in adding some locations.

1- The coordinates are inserted in positive, negative values.
2- This imply that some coordinates are in -0º 23' for example....
3- The program will recognize -0 as 0. So those coordinates are imposible to enter.

Use case: the Gandia port location is imposible to enter (I did it editing the XML).

Solution: improve the interface to enter W,O,S,N instead of negative, positive nomenclature or read the minus simbol as character.

Regards,
Alberto

This plugin needs some work, but it it at the bottom of the list right now.
