See attached please

It's because I commented out the tinyxml files in CMakeLists.txt because their symbols conflicted with those in the main program. I think using visual studio you will find you need them after all.

Added these now. I'll try to finish the passage weather ones.

I was thinking maybe having an additional filter based on type.. wind/wave/pressure/imagery/other etc... and also filters based on time could be useful.

• How about a filter for the visible area in OpenCPN?
• And a way to select multiple (shift-click) / all items in the (top) list.

More tests:

• India NEQ work now
• Chile Stremline analysis (not the 1000-500hPa) fails to calibrate
• South Africa server is super unreliable. Since years. The guys at http://metzone.weathersa.co.za/ should be keelhauled. They are responsible for a difficult stretch of ocean.
• The Sat-Pic at http://aviation.weathersa.co.za/satellite_viewer.php works more reliable but is time coded. Suggestion: could the plugin use the URL http://aviation.weathersa.co.za/satellite_viewer.php and retrieve the latest pic-URL from the retrieved html?

Cheers!

Sean Hopefully tonight I'll be able to recompile for win with tinyxml uncommented. As you suggest. Will post it.

By the way, have hd and have copied 1/2 of climatology data so far , will send t

Current git fails to compile for me (wxwidgets 2.8):

 Building CXX object CMakeFiles/weatherfax_pi.dir/src/InternetRetrievalDialog.cpp.o
/CODING/PLUGINS/weatherfax_pi/src/InternetRetrievalDialog.cpp: In member function 'bool InternetRetrievalDialog::OpenXML(wxString)':

                                             wxString iurl = h->Attribute("Url");

[seandepagnier]

Should be fixed for wx-2.8. I have moved to wx-3.0 because this is what people are using on macosx, and it works on all systems, and it allows me to fix asserts etc...

Sean Weatherfax_pi standalone compiled and runs. I've loaded AIS Decoder from the website. Ais Decoder Downloads

Someone on this thread provided a link to a download of AISDecoder for windows that was under a "bin" directory with various lib files. It did not look right for windows so I did not install it. Is that the correct thing to do?

Could you do a bit of testing, specifically with the internet retrieval of imagery? If there are no more bug reports, I think I will release this version very soon. Also, could you run make package to build an installer?

There are multiple programs with the same name which may cause confusion. This program has nothing to do with weather fax, it is used for rtl_sdr. I have put a version I compiled on the source Download opencpnplugins from SourceForge.net But I have no idea if it works or not on windows. If it does, it should be possible to use the rtlsdr plugin in windows to receive AIS from a usb dongle (like r820t) and standard VHF antenna.

[rgleason]

Whoops, sorry about the AIS decoder (meant for rtldsr_pi)! Ok it was your link. I can try that later.

Here is what I have been doing to make an install package.

Read Compiling - Windows | Official OpenCPN Homepage about

1. Installing NSIS (Unicode) to be able to build install packages
Direct download link: http://code.google.com/p/unsis/downl...2.46.3-Unicode...

2. Due to a bug in NSIS setup you need to run the
C:\Data-Dart\Up-Soft\Navigation\opencpn-git2\buildwin\NSIS_Unicode/CopyNSISUnicodeRegKey.bat as administrator.

3. Using command prompt: cd C:\o-plugin\rtlsdr_pi\build
4. At the command prompt: C:\Program Files (x86)\NSIS\Unicode\makensisw package
- C:\Program is not recognized as an internal or external command

===
From inside NSISW
Select under compile Nsi scripts Window pops up with

Usage:
- File | Load Script...
- Drag the .nsi file into this window
- Right click the .nsi file and choose "Compile NSIS Script"

After a search for "nsi" I find
C:\o-plugin\rtlsdr_pi\buildwin/NSIS.template.in

It is not an *.nsi file but I tried dragging it anyway and that does not work.
I think we need an *.nsi file and there does not appear to be one in this plugin.

The statusbar_pi plugin has a similar file under buildwin
Opening it with notepad++

; CPack install script designed for a nmake build
;--------------------------------
; You must define these values

!define VERSION "@CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION@"
!define PATCH "@CPACK_PACKAGE_VERSION_PATCH@"
!define INST_DIR "@CPACK_TEMPORARY_DIRECTORY@"

What is an nmake build?
Tried at command prompt in the build directory "nmake build" --which is unrecognized.
Tried nmake package --nmake is not recognized

Is this a pathname problem which requires stuffing more paths into my environment?
What do you think is command is required for windows please?

Almost finished loading HD with Climate base data. Including Noaa ENC and RNC and some other stuff too.

I just tried it from within MSVS++ and there is a selection for BUILD Project.
I just had to find the *.sln file under the build directory, then pick Release from dropdown. Then pick Build Project after doing an initial build.

There was one error:

This was for rtlsdr_pi!

[seandepagnier]

You must run "make package" to build the installer. The NSIS.template.in gets converted to the proper install script by nsis by the build system. You should also be able to run the makensis command from a shell, if not, make sure it is in the path.

[rgleason]

In MSVC++ open weatherfax_pi.sln pick release. Build it.
Then highlight INSTALL pick Build INSTALL
