Linux Plugin Installation -need VDR_pi

I find this in the build output:

I do not find anywhere near the same number of directories under Ubuntu

home/opencpn/src

as under my windows opencpn/src directory where I find the "wxsvg" directory.

So how do I fix this error and the other ones in red?

/home/rgleason/OpenCPN/plugins/vdr_pi/src/ocpn_plugin.h:48:10: fatal error: wxSVG/svg.h: No such file or directory
#include "wxSVG/svg.h"

[rgleason]

In my github windows install I find

C:\Users\Rick\Documents\GitHub\OpenCPN\libs\wxsvg\ include\wxSVG\svg.h

In Ubuntu 18.04 I find

Home\OpenCPN\libs\wxsvg\include\wxSVG\svg.h

As well, so what is the likely problem? VDR_pi does not show up in PI Manager.

[rgleason]

Maybe there is something wrong with that version of
/home/rgleason/OpenCPN/plugins/vdr_pi/src/ocpn_plugin.h

I am going to replace it with the current version of that file because we are using Opencpn v5.0.522. Maybe that will help.
Updating ocpn_plugin.h did not fix it.


/home/rgleason/OpenCPN/plugins/vdr_pi/src/ocpn-plugin.h

#ifdef ocpnUSE_SVG
#include "wxSVG/svg.h" <---Line 48 error
#endif // ocpnUSE_SVG

/home/rgleason/OpenCPN/plugins/vdr_pi/src/vdr.cpp

#include <typeinfo>
#include "vdr_pi.h" <-----Line 37 Error
#include "icons.h"

/home/rgleason/OpenCPN/plugins/vdr_pi/src/vdr.h

#include <wx/file.h>
#include <wx/aui/aui.h>
#include "ocpn_plugin.h" <----Line 48 Error

I think the paths may need to be changed to point at the files that are being used by the entire OpenCPN program, since we are not building standalone plugins now.


But the problem is actually worse, I think this should work both as standalone build and with Opencpn without changing anything.

[rgleason]

The right answer is to delete src/opcn-plugin.h because it is unnecessary when the plugin is built in-line with Opencpn.


Have found /home/rgleason/OpenCPN/build/plugins/vdr_pi/libvdr.so
but no sure where I copy this to in Ubuntu.
Will try Opencpn/plugin/vdr_pi - Nope


New managed Plugins location for Ubuntu

/home/rgleason/.local/lib/opencpn/



And that is the exact same location that libvdr_pi.so is placed in order to work!
Hurray.


There must be an easier way!

Rick....


And there is:
It is called "Managed plugins".
I could not resist

I do look forward to that day!
