Konni's FindIt plug in link

[ktcanuck]

The windows link appears to be a repeat of his Logbook. Anyone have the right linky?

Keith...
It is the right link. Just download FindIt-Setup1_0.exe (The last file in the list)

Thank you. Must be going blind!

All,

I have updated the FindIt plugin from Konni and it is now available from the
OpenCPN plugin download page for Windows and OSX.
For linux version it is available on PPA.

Ptulp updated findit.
Findit under 4.1.818 PI Win.

Is FindIt still available?

I've installed the PPA for OpenCpn (Ubuntu 16.0.4) and installed OC and Konni's logbook. I've ran the apt-get update but when I run sudo apt-get install opencpn-plugin-findit , the system shows that there is no such file or directory.

I've installed the Celestial Navigation from the plugins with no issues. I've gone into the options tab to see if by some chance it installed and just needs me to enable it but it's not there.

Thanks,

Frank

Frank, it is available along with Logbook_konni and has been updated by ptulp, dowe and others for Mac as well. I believe you should be able to install it.

[frank_f]

Nope.

Originally I was getting an error stating that the package is not available. Updated and upgraded and now I get

So I ran sudo apt-get install -f to try to fix any broken packages. I got this,

The logbook-konni plugin installed with no issues whatsoever. This thing is being a royal PITA.

<rant>I'm new to Ubuntu after having Windows 10 crash repeatedly but I'm almost ready to switch back. I've spent days learning how to do simple things like creating directories and files and figuring out how to gain access to my directories that have been locked by the root account.

Maybe while I'm cruising out under the tropical sun, I can play with this sort of thing but right now I need an OS that works so I can actually get some work done with the installed programs</rant>

The plugin is currently not working on recent Ubuntu versions. It will fix itself when I submit a new build to Launchpad. On the list, but no date I can promise.

Thanks Pavel. It's a convenience thing not a necessity so, when you are able.

Thanks also for proving to me that I'm not totally incompetent ( it was touch and go there for a bit) in Linux.

The Findit plugin doesn't load on OPENCPN v5.0 under WIN10.
The log file shows it's searching for findit_pi.dll in the plugins directory but OPENCPN fails on finding it (error #126 or something if I remember well).

By the sam token I checked the directory and the .dll is there. Name spells correctly, directories names spell correctly, 271Kb size.

Reinstalling back and forth the plugin doesn't help.
Re-installed OPENCPN too but no avail
SAme installation on WIN7 works instead.

Forgot one thing. On WIN10 I installed OPENCPN in E:\ OPENCPN\ and not the customary C:\Programsx86\OPENCPN\ but that said all other plugins seem to work effortlessly.

At this time, i don't use it.
But this plugin seems working on Win10 ...

[scud]

Puzzling, isn't it?
I am not surprised it works but in my system OPENCPN 5.0 even fails to load it but in spite of that the findit_op.dll is exactly where it is supposed to be.

Maybe is something related to OPENCPN and my system (it is fresh new out of the box) but I have yet to find out what goes wrong.

I re-installed OPENCPN in the default directory and this time I created a new user in WIN10. THen I re-installed al the plugins and yet the findit plugin cannot be found in spite of being phisically pesent as a .dll file in the plugins directory.
shared library not found error 126.

I wonder... I created a new account/user for the job with al lthe administrator priviliges. Would it be possible that under WIN 10 is advisable to install OPENCPN and all the plugins as a regular user instead with less privileges?

The library you are missing is not the plugin itself, but a dependency of it (MSVC2013 runtime redistributable). From a very brief look at it, it was compiled with wrong version of VisualStudio and needs a rebuild.

Your actions have no influence on that at all, installing https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/down....aspx?id=40784 (32bit version) might help until the plugin is correctly rebuilt.
