cmake problem

[ve7mdl]

Hello,

Trying to get my hands dirty on the source code. I ran into a couple of problems:

1. The vdr plugin is not recognized by cmake. Where is the list of plug-ins defined for cmake?
2. This is probably related: I deleted the dashboard plugin directory and cmake now fails.

I did a git pull, so should have the latest source files from today.

Using armhf architecture (oDroid U3).

Cheers, ....Erik.

There is no list, the plugins subdirectory of your source tree is scanned for subdirs ending in _pi
So if you don't have vdr's source in vdr_pi subdir there, it can't be found.

Hi Pavel,

Thanks for your response. First problem solved. The plugin directory name ends in '-master', so I'll change it. The second problem show up as:

In file included from /home/odroid/OpenCPN/include/pluginmanager.h:44:0,
from /home/odroid/OpenCPN/include/options.h:37,
from /home/odroid/OpenCPN/src/chart1.cpp:76:
/home/odroid/OpenCPN/include/s57chart.h:38:25: fatal error: ogrsf_frmts.h: No such file or directory
#include <ogrsf_frmts.h>
^
compilation terminated.

Cheers, ....Erik.

Focus on the error message, and you may really understand the problem.

fatal error: ogrsf_frmts.h: No such file or directory

1. Look for ogrsf_frmts.h in your build tree.
2. Set cmake to produce verbose build files, and check the include paths.

Also, I do not recommend adding anything to the plugins directory until the base OCPN builds, installs, and runs correctly. Start simple.

Good luck

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the reply.

It looks like the compiler ignores everything in ..../src/mygdal. I'm new to this (well, actually wrote my last program in 'C' in 1982), so I'm not familiar with the tools. How do I get the compiler to pick up that source directory?

Cheers, ....Erik.

I've actually never seen a problem like this, but after you make changes to the source tree, make sure you also run

cmake ..

again to regenerate the makefiles.
And if you don't have any own code there and are just playing, just delete it and do a fresh checkout from git. It will save you time hunting for a problem that possibly does not exist at all...

Hi Pavel,

Thanks for the suggestion. I reloaded the code and it compiles fine now.
