Compiling OpenCPN on Fedora 12

[inSaNo]

Hi all,

I'm new here, and i registered because of the program called openCPN.
I recently purchased an Asus EEEpc, with windows 7 starter on it. Only because of the navigation software, which only works on windows.

I read about openCPN, and i had to give it a try.. Wiped the EEEpc, and installed fedora 12

Currently i'm trying to compile openCPN, but it looks like something is borked in wx_widgets?

Here is my output:

Does anyone have this issue too, and how can it be resolved?

[idpnd]

AFAIK, this is a known wxwidgets bug. This procedure here fixed it on my Ubuntu 9.10. Good luck.

Otherwise, you may wish to use one of the 1.3.4 release packages for testing?

[inSaNo]

Hi,

Yes, i found out that it was a bug.. GSocket was added from glib 2.22.x, and i this is a typedef conflict. It should be fixxed in the new wxGTK which i have installed, but it looks like its not..

I'm trying your workaround now.. as long as it works, im fine with that.

I have downloaded 1.3.4 from the website, so i assume this is the latest version?

[inSaNo]

Ok, the program is installed, and running..
Now i have to figure out why the charts are not showing..

I added this folder:
1810 IJsselmeer met Randmeren en Noordzeekanaal/

and it has these charts:

Why does the tool say "No chart available" ?

[idpnd]

I assumed youre compiling from CVS, you could take the precompiled package otherwise..

The Dutch charts are published for free aren't they? Just make sure you get the vector version, I think the ones you've got are raster charts in a format unsupported by opencpn.. unless you manage to convert them to BSB format in some fashion.

By the way I took a [German] sailing exam up in Stavoren the other day, quite enjoyable setting

[inSaNo]

I downloaded the source file from sourceforge.

These charts are not free, but they are raster charts.. Too bad they are not supported. So now i need to figure out how to convert them..

The risserver.nl charts are experimental, and i tried downloading some before, but could not use them in my windows based application, i'll try to use one in openCPN.

This thread was about compiling openCPN, and that works. So this one can be closed.. Tnx

[inSaNo]

Ah, i tried the risserver charts, and they work: but, there is less information on these charts than on the ones i bought.. so i dont recommend using these charts for real!
Some shallow parts are not even specified on these maps..

[idpnd]

What's the WCL chart format? I think it works in Seaclear doesn't it?

[idpnd]

I've just realised its wci from seaclear, there's a thread here for conversion (recalibration) to BSB standards

[inSaNo]

Oh, nice.. reading that thread now..

The charts where provided with a tool called waypointsGPS.

A .wcd file looks like this:
