Development Debugging Environment - Setup Help

[rgleason]

Share has a lot in it. Mine is dated 3/13/2013 the same date as all the other folders. It looks like it is part of Languages and messages. I guess I would copy it from your 3.2 version, but I don't think that is the problem now, but try it anyway.

Also check your Log file to see if it tells you anything.

[rgleason]

There are also lots of Log files in your opencpn-git subdirectories. I think there is an opencpn.log in your opencpn-git/build/opencpn.dir
Does that tell you anything?

Also have you just done a "Build Solution" F7 (yes you mentioned that) (with Debug Mode and Win32 showing in top bar) before trying to Debug > Start Debug?

Its something stupid we've overlooked. Let's let it rest a little.

More actions:
In VC for project opencpn I've -clean the build, -rebuild and debugged a new instance.
Result:
A pop-up window: Translation says:
/
Opencpn.exe Its not possible to find one component.
X This program couldn’t start since wxbase28ud.vc_custom.dll is not found. This problem mey be corrected if you reinstall the program.
/


But the file wxbase28ud.vc_custom.dll is pointed to both via path to ;C:\wxWidgets-2.8.12\lib\vc_dll ; and present in the .../build directory.





The VC "Output from debug" shows:

  The program '[6340] opencpn.exe: Native' has exited with code -1073741515 (0xc0000135).

This seems rather serious but I can debug other none opencpn, projects.
Hints please

Edit: Attached the same log file. It's hard to read here
Edit2: I've searched for the requested file "wxbase28ud_vc_custom.dll" but looking more carefully it's actually not there. But the file "wxbase28u_vc_custom.dll" is there. I have older git download and that file is not there either!

Håkan

[rgleason]

Ah Ha! I think you found something.

I have C:\wxWidgets-2.8.12\lib\vc_dll\wxbase28ud_vc_custom.dll\
Don't you have that?

I could send the whole directory to you, but will that solve the problem?
Send me your email, via messages please. I'll zip it for you.

[Hakan]

Ok - You have it! But this is strange. I better delete all and make a new git fetch to see if the file shows up and if one thing missed it may be something else as well?. But it's still strange that the file is missing also in the git-fetch I did rather long time ago.

Edit: I may be a little tired. This is of course not git and opencpn. It's wxWidgets. and the file is actually therein. Why is VC missing it?? (I've checked the path!)

[Hakan]

rgleason..
Found it!! Thanks for your attempts to help me but it was all my fault. Looking closer to the path setting there was by mistake a space between "vc_dll" and ";" >> .......\vc_dll ; instead of .......\vc_dll;
So as usual when finding a simple fault

Now it's debugging just fine and Opencpn is on the screen. I can start to play.

Again thanks /Håkan

[rgleason]

Its too big to upload, you'll have to send me your email. Tried zip.doc and ogg and it sends me to special video upload area. No dice. Maybe I zip the whole wxWidgets and put it in Dropbox for you. Its big 1.2 gig

[rgleason]

Hakan That's Excellent!!

Summary and Review of git commands to get updated. Use "Start > Run" Dos cmd prompt:

git fetch --all

Responds: Fetching origin. ... but no more downloads.
---
You missed the "Your branch is behind "origin/master" by 34 commits and can be fast-forwarded."
Seems you have a specific commit checked out and thus "git fetch" fetches new commits but doesn't apply them to your working directory.

git merge master

Response: Already up to date.
---
To see where you are:

git status

May show you are still behind.
---
OK, ...it's a bit hard for me to know since I don't know how you got to where you are. If this doesn't help you will need to google for a solution on how to get your local git repo in sync with master. you can try this:

git reset --hard origin/master

response ...at the head. ---
---
After issuing this command and getting this response, went to MS Visual Studio 2010 Express. Loaded it, went to File > Recent projects Picked ...\build\opencpn It processed and during the processing several messages came up saying PO's were external or something do I want to reload from disk. I tried no. Then eventually said yes reload. Things reloaded and it seems to be running in Debug mode.
Can anyone explain what happened?

See SethDart Response: "git fetch" retrieve changes but does not update your local repo. You should issue a "git merge" or "git rebase" after fetching to update your local source (BTW, "git pull" will do git fetch + git merge in one single command, it should work for most usage). "git reset" does the same but will destroy any changes you did locally...

Now about PO, it's related to translations and requires gettext. IIRC it's optional on Windows install but you may have a look at your gettext installation and cmake correctly finding it. The exact message may help us diagnose what's wrong, or not ;-)

--
So, now Pavel has asked Hakan to issue

git rebase origin/master

to update from origin/master. What is this? Here is the book on Git Rebase

"In Git, there are two main ways to integrate changes from one branch into another: the merge and the rebase. In this section you’ll learn what rebasing is, how to do it, why it’s a pretty amazing tool, and in what cases you won’t want to use it."

With the rebase command, you can take all the changes that were committed on one branch and replay them on another one.

This appears to be useful when you've written some code on the side and want to bring it back into the mainstream master.

Having trouble git fetching for sean/grib_enhancements.
kept getting "refname is ambiguous.."
Had tried git fetch --all, and git pull sean/grib_enhancements and git pull sean grib_enhancements

Then what worked:
git checkout sean/grib_enhancements
git fetch
it thought but did nothing.
git fetch sean
it fetched some files.
git pull sean grib_enhancements

Lesson in Git from Pavel: (Little Ais Mod Post #8)

Hakan...
Congrats Ready for the next small git lesson? If so, try Code:

git diff

on your modified source.
Better say Code:

git diff > mydiff.txt

I think it will save you a bit of work next time...
The resulting mydiff.txt is all that's needed to replay your changes on anybody's code using
Code:

git apply mydiff.txt

Pull requests - response by JesperWe

..merge vs rebase might make a difference? by Rolker I'm struggling with git myself trying to figure out how to correctly use branches to contribute code the "correct way". ...Maybe this is an instance where I should have rebased instead of merged? ...worried that a future pull request from my branch will result in similar commit issues as encountered by... JesperWe says In my experience it is much better to update your underlying master by "git pull origin/master --rebase" or similar. This avoids the extra "Merging bla bla bla" commit.

Hi Folks!

There is definitely something "wrong" with the compilation of wxWidgets 2.8.12.

I downloaded the 'wxMSW-2.8.12-Setup.exe' form wxwidgets.org website and strictly followed the instructions on opencpn.org.
Tried all alternatives - all with the same result. It seems that there is an error concerning the path settings (yes, I have all needed entries in my system path!) as VC2010++ throws errors about not being able to locate files.

In my case mainly for the 'adv'.
When you try to run CMake GUI upon this wxWidgets compilation it will result in the errors Rick has posted at the beginning of this thread.

After I have downloaded the ready compiled wxWidgets pack Pavel posted all went "as usual" without any further errors.

Maybe someone with a deeper knowledge of the materia than me, can do some further investigation ...!

Gunther...
You have to post the errors you actually get, otherwise we will very hardly be able to help you.
If you really did everything that's in the build instructions, you should not have any problem. The troubles Rick experienced at the time this thread was started were caused by not following the instructions exactly, as far as I can remember...
From your post I don't even understand if you managed to build wx itself, but I suppose you didn't, right? There are no PATH entries needed for it, so they are hardly a problem, just post the output of

nmake -f makefile.vc BUILD=release MONOLITHIC=0 SHARED=1 UNICODE=1 USE_GDIPLUS=1 USE_OPENGL=1

and we'll see what's wrong...
