IMHO We do not have very good
documentation about the need to
download from sourceforge and extract opencpn-buildwin.zip to the source\buildwin directory.
1. No README in
plugin main git repository that I know of mentions it other than to mention installing necessary particular binaries to buildwin.
2. When executing "cmake -T v120_xp .. could there be a message that the "SVG dlls are missing from source\buildwin. Extract opencpn-buildwin.zip to source\buildwin"?
3. If the
plugin is compiled with no svg dlls in buildwin, it will compile and install and all plugins loaded after will not install.(confirmed once) Possibly in some cases the plugin will install but
Opencpn will not run or may crash when clicking the plugin icon (unconfirmed).
New plugin developers would appreciate a notice in the first "Cmake -T v120_xp .." command if possible.
Also the plugin
documentation does not cover this newer step!! so that should be amended.
