Suggest you check the file after download, at the virustotal website.

---
This file contains all updates to XML files and updates to the problematical second level menu "Internet Retrieval" See the new Menu arrangement which puts the critical buttons "Retrieve Scheduled and Selected" so that they are completely visible when the menu is opened, such that the plugin can operate without additional stretching. Please see the attached screenshot.

(If someone wants to see all of the lower row, they can stretch from the middle section to pull up more area in the lower menu field and show all of the less important and secondary "Boat Position" and "Reset Filter" buttons.)

I have made a Pull Request to Sean and he has Merged the PR, however when I clone Sean's repository and build it, both the Preferences bug is still there and the Internet Retrieval Menu is not fixed. Therefore I have created the file above from my local repository until this can be remedied.

I hope some users will install this version and test it out. Incidently the UK MET links are of old dates because UK MET is now using dates. However the fact that the files still exist and have a date may allow us to figure out the date/time cycle so that current UK files can be downloaded.

Note: Many other MET urls are using data and time. Two pros have volunteered to help us figure this problem out. Their work might get incorporated as C++ into the plugin at some point. (currently Python is being used.) There is more work to do to get this working (and updates to the XML files)

Has anyone tried this new version?

[rgleason]

Mike R. [Rasbats] has suggested using Github for releases, which appears to work quite easily, so I will be using github for compiled Windows Beta Releases of Sean's plugins going forward. OpenCPN Beta File Thingie will remain in place for other things.

Please find the current Windows version here
https://github.com/rgleason/weatherf...es/tag/1.7003R

Please give it a try. The internetretrieval urls have been updated, preferences bug fixed, and a menu has been fixed.
However there are a number of URLs that are using changing strdatetime at the end of the url.
Weatherfax currently does not have the tools to handle this. It is a bad practice IMHO, but
Met offices that have done this are
UK
France
Singapore
Japanese
India

If anyone has other good Met URL's please advise.

Weatherfax_pi
-Not updated yet on Sean's Repository. The XML's have been updated and Menu's have been adjusted. It has been compiled and a Windows version is here
https://github.com/rgleason/weatherf...es/tag/1.7003R
The Official Version is out of date. Nobody has tested this other than Rick.

Celestial Navigation_pi
- Fails when you try to enter a second fix.- Works fine in Debug Mode so that is no help

Weather_Routing_pi
- Currently failing with 153 errors and before that with 19- Dan fixed it very quickly for a short while
Two of these problems are isolated to Windows so they really aren't a very high priority on the developer's list.

And besides Weatherfax_pi works ok, but the WeatherfaxInternetRetrieval.xml is woefully out of date for the Official download version.

So you Windows guys better drum up a good Windows Programmer soon otherwise we're going to have a bunch of outdated plugins that work with Linux, but don't work in Windows.

Sorry, but that is the reality.

[rgleason]

Celestial Nav has not worked in Windows since Jan-Feb.

[rgleason]

It didn't take long to get setup using Transmitter Dan's
BATCHUTILS https://github.com/transmitterdan/BatchUTILS

Git cloned into my Github directory.
Then set a PATH to Batchutils and
Made sure all the paths to poedit, cmake, widgets were as expected in the batch file.

Then had to set a new Env Variable WXDIR because I had it as WXWIN to the wxWidgets. And the only other thing I had to do was reboot to make the main batch file work CONFIG.bat.

I found I did need to copy the binary zip fileOpenCPN_buildwin-svg.zip to buildwin directory.

And then with a cmake -T v120_xp .. at the prompt in the build directory, it was all ready to go!

I think it took less than an hour.

One little problem though, which I created of course, by trying to compile cel-nav inline, using git clone from opencpn\plugins.

I tried going to Opencpn\plugins and at the prompt issuing
git Clone git://github.com/seandepagnier/celestial_navigation_pi.git
and it Cloned ok.

Then in the OpenCPN\build directory I issued cmake -T v120_xp ..
and then cmake --build . --config debug

and it built all of it except cel_nav! Here is the error.

""C:\Users\Rick\Documents\GitHub\OpenCPN\build\ALL _BUILD.vcxproj" (default target) (1) ->
"C:\Users\Rick\Documents\GitHub\OpenCPN\build\plug ins\celestial_navigation_pi\celestial_navigation_
pi.vcxproj" (default target) (13) ->
(Link target) ->
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'opencpn.lib' [C:\Users\Rick\Documents\GitHub\OpenCP
N\build\plugins\celestial_navigation_pi\celestial_ navigation_pi.vcxproj]"

What did I miss? Should I copy the recent version of opencpn.lib into the plugin somewhere...doesn;t make sense.

That's right OpenCPN.LIB for debug is here
C:\Users\Rick\Documents\GitHub\OpenCPN\build\Debug
needs to be copied to here
C:\Users\Rick\Documents\GitHub\OpenCPN\build

and it compiled for Debug


Thanks DAN for a great addition to the Development Tools!

[rgleason]

I had to copy expat.dll and cairo.dll into opencpn\buildwin from their subdirectories in that folder due to some errors... is Cel_Nav plugin requiring this? Or does all of OpenCPN require it? I had these specific notes in the Dev Compile Win docs and they seem to have been removed for some reason. ---Cairo.dll and expat.dll still need to be at the top of the buildwin directory.

Now Celestial_Nav is not finding opencpn.lib even though it has been copied from build\debug to build. Why? What do I do now?

Have Rebuilt...

There is nothing in the Cel_Nav build\debug directory....

[rgleason]

It's odd, because I can build from the prompt with no errors both debug and release and packaged, but when I go into MSVC++ and Clean, Build, then try Debug I get errors looking for expat.dll and opencpn.lib (for cel_nav) etc.

Is there some pointer I have to set in MSVC++?

[rgleason]

I've removed cel_nav_pi to see if it helped, did not.
I guess BATCHUTIL does not copy all the files where they need to go.
What does it copy? Does does it not copy?
Here is where the problem is
https://opencpn.org/wiki/dokuwiki/do..._and_dll_files

[rgleason]

I realized there are other helper files in BATCHUTIL like doCopyAll debug

Very nice. It works!

[transmitterdan]

Rick,

There is build.bat and dbbuild.bat. I never build inside Visual Studio. I debug in VS all the time. Sometimes I will compile one source file inside VS but never a complete build.

[rgleason]

Dan, I'll use those bat, I use the older ones all the time.

I'd like to clone plugins into opencpn/plugins. Then dbbuild. Is there anything I need to do other than copy the dbug *.dll to build plugin and make sure the plugin_pi/data directory is there?
Inorder to build and debug the plugin?

Thanks
