latest version should be 1026. Maybe that's the reason for your problem?

OK, no problem ... .

Do you have the problem also with the ready compiled version?

I had a similiar problem. I had to delete my wxWidget (2.8.11) installation, reinstall it and build the DLL Unicode Release files again.

After this the build worked OK for me.

Have you tried wxWidgets 2.9.1?
If so, this may be the cause ...!

Thanks for the answer
First I have no problem with the ready compiled version and I take the opportunity to congratulate on your excellent installer .
second I've already re-installed wxWindget 2.8.11 and re-built it completely (DLL Unicode debug/release and Unicode debug/release ... ) did not try 2.9
I've re-loaded git two hours ago and rebuilt cmake
Opencpn build works fine in both debug and release mode but :
the debug version do not run at all . I get each time the crash attached
The release version run fine but as soon as I enable one of the plugins , the crash occur as soon as I click on the tool icon or on the plugin icon . I have to deactivate manually the plugin in the config file .

I would like some feedback from windows users on different systems if this expression leads to the log&ini file directory. Works for me on an XP. From a command line or in run :

%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\opencpn

Jepp, but doesn't work on Win 7.
And should also not be OK for Vista.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environment_variable#User_management_variables

%AllUsersProfile% (%PROGRAMDATA% for Windows Vista, Windows 7)
The %AllUsersProfile%(%PROGRAMDATA%) variable expands to the full path to the All Users profile directory. This profile contains resources and settings that are used by all system accounts. Shortcut links copied to the All Users' Start menu or Desktop folders will appear in every user's Start menu or Desktop, respectively.

Jean Pierre,

in about.cpp, line 62, make this change:

from:
wxString str_version_date(VERSION_DATE, wxConvUTF8);

to:
wxString str_version_date;

Then rebuild, and try debug again.

Many thanks Gunther
After the change and re-built , I can run debug , but I get many warnings and at the end a crash
See shots attached :
plugin1 , I had just select a plugin
plugin2 ,after clicking to continue
plugin3 , after clicking to continue , the pluging GRIB have been selected , but the corresponding icon is not displayed , the place is empty
plugin4 , the crash if I click on the tool box icon or if I try to start a plugin

In the release mode I have no warning but the same crash

Regards

Jean Pierre,

the first error you had on debug which could be temporarily fixed by changing the line in about.cpp is exactly the same error I had, too.
And the fix is from Dave.

So maybe he can help you.

I solved the problem by uninstalling all wxWidgets installations/files and going back to version 2.8.10 (wxMSW-2.8.10-Setup.exe).

@Dave
As Jean Pierre now has the same problem as I maybe there is something "wrong"? But Pavel tested version 2.8.11 and he had no problems ...!
All very "strange" ...

I think the problem is with the PlugIns, obviously.

In the Visual Studio environment, ocpn uses relative path names to find the PlugIns. The PlugIn location changes depending on Debug or Release mode.
This behavior is "built-in" to wxWidgets.

I think ocpn may be loading some older invalid PlugIn which is not compatible with 1026.

Check the logfile. It will tell you where the PlugIn directory is located. On my XP system, it looks like this:

5:33:42 PM: PlugInManager searching for PlugIns in location E:\opencpn_cmake2008\plugins

So, you need to build the PlugIn targets individually, and then move the dll's to the right place to be found at runtime, separately for Debug and Release.

It would be helpful to me if you could save and send me a copy of the invalid PlugIn. Maybe I can learn to recognize the invalidity, and refuse to load it.

I hope this helps
Dave

Jean Pierre,
Some warnings in Debug are pretty normal and can be ignored, but I haven't seen the ones you have before.
What is your directory structure? Are you sure you are loading the freshly built plug-in dlls?

I now routinely build against 2.8.11 and there is no problem at all so the version of WX should really not be the cause of the problem.
