Same compile error for me. Actually 2 errors:

Code:

[ 51%] Building CXX object plugins/weatherfax_pi/CMakeFiles/weatherfax_pi.dir/src/weatherfax_pi.cpp.o
/home/jean-marie/opencpn/plugins/weatherfax_pi/src/weatherfax_pi.cpp: In member function ‘virtual int weatherfax_pi::GetPlugInVersionMajor()’:

I think the problem is you are compiling in the opencpn source directory. You must compile the plugin as a standalone project running cmake, and make.

Great, will add these

You are correct, it compiled now.

After "make install" I had to manually create ~/.opencpn/plugins/weatherfax/ then the retrieval worked.

Suggestion: for weatherfaxes/images retrieved via the internet, could the calibration for the images be stored together with the URL? For example: the French Polynesia charts all would use the same calibration. This shoud work for many computer generated charts. For handdrawn charts, like the SA synopsis, it should only suggest the projection.

Ok, I need a mkdir

It already does this. They are in a separate xml file "CoordinateSets.xml" This file gets installed, but a local copy should then be available as the user may update it as well (so two copies in separate locations) You should not have to manually enter coordinates for any of the internet generated images for example, because I already did... is this a bug?

seandepagnier · 26-05-2014, 23:07

Dirk,

Try again with the latest git. I tested on windows and found a few problems so it should be fixed now.

Taarnskov · 26-05-2014, 23:24

I would like to test it, if there is a windows version available.

I pulled the latest on git, it compiled fine (I am running GENTOO 64bit Linux).

Thanks for the hint with CoordinateSets.xml !! After I copied CoordinateSets.xml into the user directory, it works/displays automatically. Before that, the calibration dialog comes up and all coordinates are zero. So somehwere is a bug, not reading the installed CoordinateSets.xml (mine is in /usr/local/share/opencpn/plugins/weatherfax_pi/data/CoordinateSets.xml).

Do you still have this problem with the latest git? I think it's fixed now. Anyway.. how about some more fax urls? Any more suggestions for this plugin? The HF schedules is still pretty much un-tested and also probably needs some work.

rgleason · 28-05-2014, 10:03

Sean,
I tried standalone compile with MSVC cmd window from build directory
after git pull
cmake ..
cmake --build . --config release
and got 41 errors

See attached please

I cleaned out my ~/.opencpn from old manually copied files and directories. It works now, the plugin directory is created and the calibration of the internet-retrieved weatherfax works (tested with the Bermuda wfax)

Some testing results:
Looking good (download, automatic calibration and displays at the correct position)

French Poly: all
Singapore: all
India: Asia Sector, NWQ

Fails to calibrate

Chile Streamline analysis
India NEQ (I tried a few. not all)

Position is wrong for:

Chile Streamline 1000-500hpa
South Africa (crooked and over Southamerica).

Little things:

in the "Weather Fax" window, one should be able to delete list-items with just hitting the "delete" key (currently mapped to CTRL-D)
deleting one item should select the next item in the list. Currently no item is selected. To delete several items one has to click on that item, delete, click on the next item.
When selecting multiple items with click and shift-click, then selecting delete, some items are not deleted. Example: download all 8 FP weatherfaxes. Select all 8 , then hit control D for delete. 4 items remain in the list. Repeat: 2 items remain in the list. Repeat, 1 item stays in the list, repeat, finally all items are deleted in the list.
I keep poking at it, this is super useful!

Japan weatherfaxes:

This will need a bit of coding (day/time) as you have done for the Australian BOM:

Ok, I forgot India NEQ, fixed now.

Chile Streamline can't be done because the south pole is actually in the image, and the current polar mapping algorithm doesn't allow for this.

Ok, all fixed except south africa server isn't working. It isn't a perfect mapping in this case because they used a conic projection so I have to fudge it a bit to make it map at all, but I think it's reasonably close.. will try again later.

I fixed the multi-delete problem, thanks.

Yes.. there are several servers which use a url which is based on the date and time. This is not yet implemented (BOM uses only a relative time to now, so not changing) So once this is implemented, and it won't be hard.. then I can add japan, uk and I think a few others.
