OpenCPN Compilation Package error on Windows

[priyanka]

Hi,
I have followed the steps in the following link to compile OpenCPN on windows
https://opencpn.org/wiki/dokuwiki/do...piling_windows

Everything was perfect, but in the Building OpenCPN
the cmake command " cmake --build . --config release --target package"
gives me error


CPack: Create package using NSIS
CPack: Install projects
EXEC : CPack error : Problem creating temporary directory: C:/Users/priya/source/OpenCPN/build/_CPack_Packages/win32/NS
IS/opencpn_5.0.522_setup/ [C:\Users\priya\source\OpenCPN\build\package.vcxpro j]
EXEC : CPack error : Error when generating package: OpenCPN [C:\Users\priya\source\OpenCPN\build\package.vcxpro j]

Anyone Please help me to figure it out?

priyanka..
I'm not sure but the real problem could be NSIS don't find needed files to copy and not really having problem creating the directory.

So.. Did you copy needed files to create the package?
One tip is to use a bat file mentioned here, but you may have to edit directories in the file. (I use my own so haven't seen that one in details.)

What the bat does is described here if like to do it manually:

Hi
Thanks for the reply. I have typed cpack in cmd and it did create install package under the NSIS sub-directory.
Then I run cmake --build . --config release --target package .

And I could see the OpenCPN setup file. I tried to install it but gets an error at the end of installation while I open installed OpenCPN

"The code execution cannot proceed because wxmsw313u_gl_vc_custom.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix the error"

There has been some fiddling with the dependencies I think in the latest master build. Have a look at a log from a recent successful windows build here:

https://ci.appveyor.com/project/bdbc...uilds/29702742

It is using wxWidgets 3.1.2 but yours is built against 3.1.3. That is ok but you need to include the wx 3.1.3 dlls in your package or you need to put the location of the 3.1.3 dlls in your path environment variable. If you want to use the package on another computer you have to do the former.

Priyanka,

Unless you are planning to make changes to OpenCPN the latest installers for git master builds are always available here:

Note that these are "unstable" and not for real work. They are just if you want to see what is in the upcoming release.

Hi All,

I could figure it out.I think the problem was with the path variables.

After I set environment variables and path as the following, everything got work well.
set WXWIN=C:\wxWidgets-3.1.2
set wxWidgets_ROOT_DIR=%WXWIN%
set wxWidgets_LIB_DIR=%WXWIN%\lib\vc_dll
SET PATH=%PATH%;%WXWIN%;%wxWidgets_LIB_DIR%;C:\Program Files (x86)\Poedit\Gettexttools\bin;C:\Program Files\Git\bin;c:\MinGw\bin

Thank you guys for helping me.
