Hello Ron,

I have been working on a Mac Mini and updated my ShipDriver code to work on the Mac. Previously on Catalina the dialog was looking crazy.

One last problem. How did you edit the make files to show this file name?

ShipDriver-Plugin-macOS-ov50_2.1.pkg

It would be useful to know for other plugins I am updating.

Best regards,
Mike

Hi Ron - just realised you are from Mooloolaba. I am from Southport, but cruising the world since 2011.

Been following your comms with Steve Carns regarding compiling OpenCPN plugins for Mac. I have been trying to compile Mac plugins without success for over a month. Can get the plugins to compile, but they fail to show in OpenCPN_5.0.1+0266678.

Can you help?

I can send you my setup procedure, but I can't work out how to send an attachment with this message.

Ron...


Back on my development pc next week. I want to look at the ShipDriver autopilot function. For ease of communication could we exchange email addresses?

I would like to run some ideas past you for algorithms for regaining the course line.



Another fun idea I am looking at is working with the Concept2 rowing machine API. It would be a good exercise to row the Atlantic, following a route on the chart! Bring on the sound effects!
